[AJD] 35 D

[Gary Epps]

Yes, Dee, I do feel good.  Unfortunately I don't have another tractor to
belt to it.  The AR is the next  project.

On the question of which oil to use, it seems to be 30wt vs. 15-40wt.

The head and valves are in good shape.  On one hand, much better than I
expected when I saw how firmly stuck the engine was.  On the other hand the
engine was gone through and given what it needed less than ten years ago and
hasn't been used much since.

Yes, things ARE looking good.
