[AT] Confessing a complete lack of knowledge here

[Indiana Robinson]

	I'm just passing through at a dead run but I will try to get around to 
writing about the "old style" and the "new style" liquid tube inserts more 
later. Basically the old style slid in but was held by a threaded sleeve 
on over the outside of  the stem base. The new style insert is threaded to 
go inside of the stem base. They will not interchange... The core for each 
is alike and the same as your car etc.

	BTW, when you trade sides with the wheels you still move the outside to 
the inside etc... Think about it a minute.   :-)

	I was at Toledo on business last weekend. Making a quick run to 
Circleville OH about Tues. Dang, this $$$$ gas is eating me alive...   :-(

My combine doesn't like me.
	I have about gone nuts trying to run about 15 acres of corn that I just 
walked away from last fall due to other family health problems. The corn 
is actually in great shape, about 12.5% moisture and a test weight of 59.5 
PPB. The combine is another matter. It has been almost trouble free since 
I bought it some years ago but this spring it has eaten over $600 in belts 
and then it blew a snapping roll upper bearing. I had to bore and sleeve 
both variable ground drive pulley assemblies to get it to quit eating that 
belt. The main separator drive belt just had a complete nervous breakdown 
(probably from age) and I have no idea what happened to the grain tank 
auger belt.
	It rains at least every three days... I should have ran that dab in a 
day. Instead I have been fighting it for weeks.   :-(   Of course the 
dealers don't keep any extra parts in the this off season so I have to 
order and wait for most parts. The silly part is that I doubt that I ever 
run that combine again after this little patch of corn, I'm going other 
directions... Much more $$$ trouble and it will become compost...

I try to take one day at a time but sometimes several days attack
me at once.   :-)
