    I don't mess with any fancy drain methods.

    I just open 'er up, and let the oil run all over the floor.

    The dog licks it all up.

    Then comes in the house, and pukes all over the carpet.

    I used to think Yukon was a bad hunter... I've since learned he's just a picky eater. Loves rabbits and raccoons... very rare, as opposed to well done. He doesn't touch anything I spill, and I've taught him to walk away when I'm welding. That's a plus.

    Actually we did worse when I was a kid. Using Fordson Dextas and Ford 3000’s ( 30 odd horses) like a 4020.

    Only if that pipe “blade” was counterweight for pullin’ the sled in those E Wa tractor pulls.

    Not quite.... did try to pull a few 'stumps' though... it's final demise was in 'clearing use' as a stump grinder broke the crankshaft off

    Huh no I had to do a bunch of catchup work that Sid would have normally done... but he's not back from his little excursion yet....he always was pretty slow on just about everything.

    I’m sure he would have given you a break on travel time (22hr?) and most likely pulled your stump for free
