[AT] 430V update

Check for intake gasket leaks by spraying WD40 or something around the edges
of the gaskets while the engine is running.  Any leak will be immediately
noticeable. A loose manifold bolt is very unusual. In my experience they all
twist off.

Seeing how using the tractor for anything productive was impossible, because
of the throttle positioning(too fast for the manure spreader and wagon, too
slow for the mower), I went ahead and dug into the throttle shaft. It was
quite the bear, as the roll pin for the universal joint did not want to come
out.   Looking at the parts catalog it was not entirely clear the roll pin
had to come out. But it definitely had to.

The friction discs were a weird combination of glazed and worn. So I will be
getting a new set. Thanks for the research Dean.

While I had the hood off, I checked the manifold a little more closely for
leaks. I did find a loose bolt on the  manifold.  Other than that I did not
see anything. Hopefully that loose bolt was the hunt at idle I was
experiencing.
