[AT] Not really an antique

[John Hall]

I HIGHLY encourage you toe join the 10 ans 20 series Deere group on 
Facebook. I grew up with 2 4020's and the knowledge in that group is 
amazing. One of the guys there guided me through converting my 24 volt 
system to 12 volt. We did it better than any of the aftermarket kits. I 
have to rebuild the loadshaft now, guys there told me where to go to get 
a kit better than what Deere has.
