"Momma" don't let me have ice cream anymore. Says "you're too fat". Won't let me have any until proven I can stay under 300 pounds for a month.This coming from a woman that is a little less than 20 pounds lighter than me. Uncle Rob

Thanks. About as far south as I get anymore is Effingham as I have in law family in that area. We will be there over the holiday at the end of the month. How far are you from there?Rob

Ya got nuthin to worry about unless you feel his hands on both shoulders while being examined for anything concealed.Rob

Once Brian but it has been 20+ years ago. I really don't work south of Springfield any longer unless somebody is really "stumped" with a problem.Rob

Alrighty then. We do have a guy with giant thumbs for guys like you. Rob

You decide on November 6, 2012: Best explanation of what is happening in America that I have heard! Please pass this on. It may actually make folks think! CAN THE USA SURVIVE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING? The folks who are getting free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff,because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff. The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting! Now... The people who are forcing the people to pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist. So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place. We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff. Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them. Thomas Jefferson said it best: "The democracy (Republic) will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235 years ago . The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that On Nov 6 th , 2012 . Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it. ELECTION 2012 IS COMING A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! Let's take a stand!!! Obama : Gone! Borders : Closed! Language : English only Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! Drug Free : Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare! NO freebies to : Non-Citizens! We the people are coming ------------------------------------ "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". -- Margaret Thatcher

I hear that kind of fish can bite so be careful out there ya hear?Rob

They suspected I was gonna do something stupid like hurt myself so they captured a still image and transferred it to show the world.I showed them though. Rob

Wash your chrome bulldog in soap and water, followed by soaking in apple cider vinegar for 10 minutes before applying paint.Rob

Good idea with the bucket over the exhaust. Lot of people don't think of that until they have a rusted through exhaust pipe from rain collecting.Uncle Rob

We like to be fair in these things and leave the choice up to the examinee.Rob

No, just prelubricated. Wouldn't want to cause injury you know.Rob

My ass is already burning from my destiny.I still hold/get the door for any lady at a store or public place. Also still open the passenger door for "Momma" near every time we go someplace together. Rob

A band pass filter is actually a little better than a low pass but a bit more money. I'd look for a band pass that will pass anything from 25-30Mhz and reject all other frequencies outside of this envelope. This will allow for slight mistuning that is prevelant in production radios of the consumer electronics design.Rob

Buddy of mine works at a heavy truck repair facility and they just finished a new wing on the building. This thing has an "undercarriage" wash bay that is really neat. You drive into the bay, get out of the truck if wanted and start it. A very high pressure rotating wand washes the underside of the truck from front to back with 3000psi water and steam. After three minutes of this, everything is so hot and relatively clean, it dries fast. Not too bad to work on when not fighting several inches of grease and such eh?Rob

There is a tapered roller bearing at the base of the steering column just above your knees when sitting in the seat. Ensure that is good. There is also a universal joint near the same area and need to make certain that is not binding, or tight. If hydraulic related, one would need to "Tee" into the system to check for system pressure(s).Rob

I will do and follow all of that advice. My uncle outside of Effingham where the truck is, farms and has a large tractor we will drag it back with. Given how the two strokers like to stick the injector racks from sitting I'll take a complete extra set with me. I know the truck ran well and drove to where it sits now, but I'd like to get it back to my place. I thought about winching it up on my dropdeck but my uncle is kinda itching to have something to do with me? so wants to help get it going again. I don't want to spend a lot of time to discover the engine is stuck from sitting so getting it to roll over is kinda important.Thanks, Rob

We had a similar one here building the shop. Ran 137 yards through it at 100' distant.They are heavy for certain. Rob

Yup. Wiggling your tongue in the crevice always makes them "go" good. Usually pays handsome dividends too.Rob

I figgered weight but I've seen a lot larger millers so wasn't certain.Rob

What is oversize with that load? Weight?Rob

I've always thought uncle Sphincter was an asshole myself. Always stinks and has plenty of excuses.Rob

If it is teeth wear, no. It would take mating gear replacement to close the clearance that has developed through years of use. If a bearing worn; maybe. Could also be internal, and external wear to the sliding clutches also. Either way requires a rebuild of the transmission which is not difficult if parts can be located.I have the same thing with a 6231 Brown-Lipe progressive auxiliary transmission from my A40. It is a real "singer" in O.D. but perfectly quiet in the other two gears. I pulled it out and replaced it with a low gearset 6231 as it was all I could find. I've kept the original as my truck was built with it and hope to someday find a couple of gears. Rob

Being in the minority is nothing unfamiliar to me. However, it is simply amazing what grit, determination, and an open mind can accomplish for the betterment of all. We as a country are currently on a collision course we do not need to be on. The current political climate actually fosters our own decline, then demise. I vote for change, and I mean severe overhaul. Not the kind of change the current administration envisions. Hell, they don't even retain the same campaign slogan for this cycle. Seems to me it didn't work out so well for them. Rob
