[AT] Cold snap over

[Cecil Bearden]

Spencer:

We are just getting another cold snap.  woke up this morning to 40mph 
winds gusting to 60 Temp is now 40 and dropping.  Just another Oklahoma 
cold front.   I haven't been able to work on any tractors due to tryong 
to make our backup vehicles run.  The Expedition has problems with 
Ford's anti theft crap, and the other mini van decided that the key was 
worn too much to turn in the ignition....
Supposed to have a tractor delivered today,  if it doesn't get blown off 
the trailer...

I would have opened the doors and warm the place up, but the humidity moved in with the warmth and the dew point had been higher than the shop temperature. All I would have done is gotten condensation on all the metal(430V is 42 degrees and the dew point is 46). I have made that mistake before only to find everything covered in water.   Tools in the tool box; you name it.  It's crazy. We had fog yesterday evening in the lower parts of the farm.

I've decided to take Cecil's advice and cut a slot in the outer tubes(and then welding back).  I've tried twisting and pulling and they just simply are not going to come apart. They've rusted too bad.  A part of me wants to completely restore this Haywagon. I think I need someone to talk me out of it. :-)
