    Bent push rod

    I had a 504 gasser that did that and it was a sticky valve. Cleaned the built up carbon off and hasn't bent one since.

    Tornadoes

    My wife went through the Joplin tornado. It was just 3 weeks before our wedding. She lived in the bottom floor of a 3 story apartment. She got in the tub and rode it out. She was praying harder than she ever had and God must have listened. Everything was leveled on all sides of her building. The...

    Wow, sure wish I was closer to you. I have two now and love them. I need some attachments and would be interested in knowing what you have. In particular, I would like to get a rear lift and rear pto. Also would like to get a couple more mid pto shafts for front attachment.

    Heating shop

    Thank you for all your comments. I have American Family right now. They have been great with my wood heat inside. But they said absolutely no solid fuel in shop because its too easy to accidentally leave something out with flammable fumes and/or park a vehicle that has a gas leak. Don"t know...

    High school drop-out rate---rant

    Thanks for your follow up and congrats on your niece and daughter-in-law. We need great teachers. You are so right about the horror stories. Compared to what we saw when I was a student, I'm amazed that some of the kids even make it to school. I had a student years ago who's alcoholic step dad...

    High school drop-out rate---rant

    Rusty, I will be the first to say that there are some teachers who shouldn't teach. However, I hate it when all teachers are grouped together as a union protected bunch of non-professionals. I teach in rural Missouri. The union is uninterested in us and doen't protect us, only the larger cities...

    Green slime and tire mounting questions

    I use murphys oil soap. You cant buy the paste anymore but I just buy the liquid and leave the lid off and it thickens over time. Even in the liquid state it works good.

    I live in SW missouri just south of Joplin. I'm 30 minutes from OK, KS and Ark. I love it here, economy has held up pretty well, close to good colleges and great hospitals. Lots of small communities but you're always close enough to larger towns to get any hard to find item. Land is fair but...
