Oh my!
What are they burning?
Brush?

Yup, brush and weeds on the flood plain next to the river.

Some brain sourgens wanted to encourage the mushrooms to come out April & May.

Been really dry around here and with the 20-25 mph wind got away from the get go.

Morning midlanders!

Goooood MORNING !
Mushrooms? They started the fire for mushrooms? Dumb!

 

[lumberjackchef]

I burn about 300 acres of CRP for my landlord Evey year or so. You have to be real careful about that wind.. Last year it changed up on me and took out 100 round bales on the neighbors place. My landlords insurance paid for it. It happened before I even knew it the fire depot. Was on the scene....

Yep. Tammi and the kids and I picked 188 mushrooms one year out of a spot where someone appeared to have flicked a cigarette out on a roadside and it creeped into the forest. I look for areas that have been burned off from the previous year.

We go over to the Kickapoo and Sac Fox casinos quite often. "Geezer Day Care"

One thing I have noticed they are fond of burning off grass and brush on the reservations. Lots of scorched ground along hwy 20, 73 and 75.

Set a 260 jug in the gallon of Chem-Dip over night and all but the real stubborn areas at the exhaust port just rinsed away. I like it! Thanks, Jeeps.

Going to let it soak for the rest of the day and see what comes of it.

 

[67L36Driver]

Bet the aluminum turns dark gray. Best to just dig the carboned oil with a sharp knife and then dip.

 

[SteveSS]

OK, I'll do that. Thank you.

You're welcome! This is what I use if it has stuff left after the chem dip, and a small BRASS bristled brush. I'm all for sitting around killing time picking at things, but dull knife blades and scratches in exhaust ports are yucky!

Last newb question of the day. This is the same 260 cyclinder. It had a bit of transfer from the piston and I've been gently working at it with some 120 grit emery under running water with just finger pressure. My rudimentary caveman technique has got it this far, but it doesn't seem to be getting much better than this. It's smooth to the touch and I can no longer feel it when I drag a finger nail across it. Good enough?

[workshop]

Yep, looks pretty good to me. Put it together and run it like you stole it.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

I wouldn't quit til all traces of the transfer were gone. split a dowel rod, slip some of yer 120 emery in there, chuck it up to yer drill, work it. howsomever, that's just me and my anal self. just sayin

 

[Jeepsnchainsaws]

Trying to get this pipe done today.

 

[67L36Driver]

Got the Remy PL-4 carcass today. Pumps 130 which is adequate.



Now all depends on how deep we get into the mechanicals?

Cosmetics (on the Deere 17) will be left 'as found' like they say in the collector world.

Fat spark, pops on a dribble.
