I'm up, I'm up!

Unless it jumped off by itself last night, NO! The front of the tractor is barely touching the ground and we have beat it unmercifully, and it's still on there.

It has so much weight on it that one of the hoist rigs has cracked. Any more ideas?

Yup. Spray it down in the injector holes and just let it sit. Geez, this head just doesn't wanna come off does it. I still say hook it to a truck and floor it. That should rip it off.

I was thinking of filling the cylinders with black powder and running a fuse through the injector holes?

Brian, if you're still looking for a gauge I've got an Autometer Z-series 0-35psi boost guage (and probably a cubby hole plate) in the garage. The cubby hole plate came when I ordered my 0-60 guage for free, and I just haven't bothered to get rid of the 0-35.

Charlie, got the tractor running. Had something clogging the fuel line from the tank to the primer. Of course we weren't looking there earlier.

Thanks

Great! Glad you got it going. Sometimes it's the little, obvious things that we overlook.

If you're talking about the little metal frame thingies, I have a couple from ISSPRO around here somewhere.

If Charlie can't hook you up with one of his, let me know and you can have mine. Geno's throws then in for free when you buy the gauge, so I have it but don't have any use for it.

After all, if I put a gauge there, where would I put all the little stuff I currently have filling up the cubby hole?

I heard that it is filled with 500 candy horses. However, the guy he got it from couldn't get them all out and gave the piñata to Charlie. Brian is coming over to get all 500 horses out and maybe more.

BTW...was Brian able to get all of the horses out of the blue goat??

You can never have too many catch-all cubby holes in the dash.

And yes, I think BrIan as coraled (sp) all 500 horses.....and a few strays.
