[AT] 430V mysteries

[John Hall]

Forgot about those control ropes Farmer! I had 2 Oliver superior drills 
that used them--one was wide enough it had 2 ropes so you could lift 
only 1/2 of it. Then there was the Deere 30 pull type we had with HA-92 
power unit. The clutch rope would sometimes get hung on something in a 
curve and you could hear the load coming off the engine--rope was 
causing the clutch to slip. That was actually a fun combine to run in wheat.
