[AJD] Brass fuel valve assembly on Deere H

[Bill Brueck]

Thanks, Ron.  I found this product all over the Internet and ordered a can
of it this evening.  Will let you know what I get, maybe I can send you some
to use.  I'm an old guy, lots of empty pill bottles to send out samples,
LOL.  I mean, just the Viagra ones alone...

How were the crops around Salix this year?  I just got the warehouse
receipts from some land I crop-share around Ames, looks like 61 bushels on
the beans, no word on the corn yet.  That's a record for that farm.

Bill,
         You need some Fuelube.  Check your local aircraft mechanic.  He
should have some for the fuel selector valves for the older airplanes.  It
has been replaced by a product called EZTurn.  The problem is, it is sold in
1 pound containers.  Enough for a lifetime.  You only need a little on the
end of a finger to coat the tapered valve surface.  I can't find mine at the
present, so will have to order a new can.  Probably not until after harvest.
When I get it I can send a little up to you if you don't come up with some
locally.
