[AJD] Bad tractor day - 1950 AR

Tue Jun 9 00:12:55 PDT 2009

Tommy: Also check to see that the intake pipe doesn't have a restriction in 
it. My A did that a few years ago after sitting over night in a shed, mice 
had built a nest in the intake stack causing it to suck oil out of the 
crankcase because it couldn't get air through the intake stack. It had me 
scratching my head for a while cause it ran perfect the day before!
