[AT] 430V update

[Spencer Yost]

I got a ship confirmation for the 430 technical manual a few days ago. Finally. I've had it ordered for weeks. Should be here Friday. But I won't have a chance to work on the tractor till this weekend. if the gauge was shipped right away I should have it on Friday too. 

With the manual I can get some torque values for the manifold and also do the governor throttle linkage adjustment that Dean suggests.  Also, the generator barely keeps up the battery. I'm hoping there some wiring diagrams/troubleshooting procedures in there so I can doublecheck everything. I was re-wiring blindly, but I've done this enough times I feel pretty confident that I have a right.  It's a ground issue or a weak generator probably.

I did finally break something on the John Deere.   Pulling into the shop a week or so ago, the seat backrest was uncomfortable so I turned around. i'm not terribly smart, but I think the plywood is shot :-). The shot is from above, looking down.  There used to be a great boat/marine upholstery shop a few miles from my house. They did wonderful outdoor rated upholstery work. But they are out of business so I don't know who I'm going to use now.

Regardless, I'm thankful to have something to work on!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
