[AT] [OT How now rusty cow

[James Peck]

People were trying to use cow magnets to increase road vehicle MPG. I do not know if it was tried on tractors. No actual agency testing occurred. The practice died out so it must not have worked.

Bill Bruer AT List Member (bill_bru at bellsouth.net<mailto:bill_bru at bellsouth.net>); The cow magnet is properly known as a rumen magnet.  I kept one below the filter in the hydraulic filter housing on an IH Farmall 686.  It would always be covered in a fine metallic fuzz.  Happily, there was never anything larger stuck to it.
