[AT] Update AT] 3 cyl diesel problems

[Cecil Bearden]

With my old Cats, the parts manual is more important than the 
operators..   I found an operators manual for my old Case 930CK last 
week.  There was some info in there I had never known, and I grew up 
with a 930CK.  I believe that is the one model that was the best tractor 
Case ever built.
