    John Deere oil bath air cleaner leak

    Yes, there is another "lip" below that large ring around the canister that is just above the clamp.

    That's quite a large diameter for an O-ring, but I'll see if I can find such a size.

    John Deere oil bath air cleaner leak

    Figures... wouldn't be a John Deere if it didn't leak a little oil here and there.

    John Deere oil bath air cleaner leak

    The clamp doesn't slide, nor will the bowl twist, even before I get the clamp fully tightened.

    John Deere oil bath air cleaner leak

    It's not over-filled, but it constantly leaks just enough to get oil all over the cup an a bit up the sides of the canister. The ring clamp is tight and I've made sure there was no debris in the way where the cup seats with the canister. Any ideas on how to stop this from leaking?

    Best way to cut lead

    Maybe a hammer and chisel, wedge, punch, etc. Break off chunks to put in the crucible for melting. I would avoid any kind of sawing, especially high-speed saws, to prevent flakes and dust from getting everywhere.

    Or who remembers the late 70s with "The Incredible Edible Egg" (and a reprise in the mid 90s of the same slogan)... cycles

    Fall cattle prices

    In the 1990s the big advertisements were for beef... just pointing out it goes in cycles, waves, not that any one particular product replaces all others, not even for a time, but rather simply a slightly higher market share percentage that changes over time.

    Fall cattle prices

    Back in the 1980s, there was a push for more pork instead of cow or chicken. Everything goes in cycles.

    Claiming a loss with the IRS

    A perpetual loss is usually only problematic when you have no other source of income to counterbalance it.

    Ruh-roh, that ain't good

    After letting it sit for 4 weeks, I loosened the drain plug but only chocolate milk looking oil came out, so the water isn't separating from the oil even while sitting a long time. I'm just trying to bide my time until I can finally move and get at least a shed over it to keep rain water out...

    Running too lean will also cause backfire at idle and run hot.

    Ruh-roh, that ain't good

    I changed the oil in the rear end/transmission a year and a half ago, filled to proper specs. I don't have any engine oil leaking, I check it frequently and it's always in good shape and at proper level, don't have to add any oil between changes. I haven't checked the first reduction gear...
