[AT] B Allis

[Larry D. Goss]

I'm glad you all picked up on that comment.  Things were getting way too
serious in the discussions and I figured there needed to be some comic
relief.

I wouldn't have bothered to make the comment in the first place if I
hadn't literally just come in from the shop having just replaced the NGK
plugs in a water-cooled lawn & garden John Deere.  It wouldn't begin to
think of firing, but the plugs had given out with less than 100 hours on
them.  No burning or corrosion, and no excessive carbon buildup, just
shorting out.

Got to go shopping for more parts: air filters, plugs, oil, oil
filters... I started the day with 10 units in the shop and decorating
the patio.  I should be down to around three by nightfall -- if I can
keep up with the neighbors dropping additional tractors off for service.

Larry

Now you are using my theory.  I am glad someone besides me and Farmer
are
atuned to this fact.  Ricky (aka: Lightning)
