[AT] Oily brakes, Farmall M

[Chuck Saunders]

I have several bruises from those duh moments hitting me. I find that the
quickest way to discover my mistake is to confess to whoever shows up that I
can not for the life of me figure out what is wrong. Once the visitor is
stepped through the problem, the cause becomes painfully obvious and I am
unable to change the subject fast enough.
