[AT] 430V update

[Spencer Yost]

Between a late day at work, stopping by the muffler shop for a chunk of pipe for the exhaust manifold, and needing to get the yard mowed, I didn't get everything buttoned up on the tractor until very late tonight.  So it's a bit late too late to start a loud, straight pipe John Deere. Plus there's no way I could get a good video for Tyler in the dark.

I am working remotely from home tomorrow so I can rake hay. I'll bet you I can sneak away from my computer just long enough to try to start it.   If the gods are smiling on me, I hope to be able to rake hay with the tractor.  :-).

Stay tuned...
