Wow, you have used up at least a years worth of luck. Thank God for freeze
plugs.

Subject: [AT] I got lucky

We have a spot in our community road which is soft and with the freezing 
weather we had 2 weeks ago the ground froze trapping the water below. When 
it thawed the first of this week it made a real mess and difficult for some 
to go through as it is an uphill grade also.  Today I fired up the Huber and

graded out the soft oozy stuff and had a guy bring in 3 yds of crushed rock 
spread and graded it into it.
I went to fire up the Moline as it was attached to the 1 ton roller to roll 
the rock down, and when it fired I had water spraying everywhere by the fan.

Seems I didn't have as much antifreeze in it as I thought. It pushed out 2 
freeze plugs.
 I have been very lucky with this thing.  This is the one I bought on the 
Charity auction in 1998.  It had a freeze plug out then between the cylinder

heads which I was able to reseat with a wonder bar by wedging it in between 
heads.
This time it was block plugs one in the front set of jugs behind the fan and

the other between the jugs.  I was able to reseat the one between the jugs 
with the wonder bar just like before and the one behind the fan I was able 
to reseat  with a bar also. I filled it with water and ran it for about 45 
minutes with no leaks. No water in the oil and no leaks.  Sometimes you get 
lucky.
