lol you got me there amen! -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving now tom havent you learned by now there is really only one impossible thing in this universe getting a cochran by any spelling to be quiet. let me hear an amen from the peanut gallery vbg -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. lol yea but the oil companies arent letting him talk to you either. them boys have some real power. well time to go vote talk to ya later. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving not possible tom. neither of my sons tell me i have any grandkids yet .. . . that i can claim . . and cochrane is the old world spelling of my name so hell have to be related to me and . . . -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. sure he did but the oil companies are keeping it hidden - -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving the war on terra the war on earth of course the war is on earth zefram cochrane hasnt invented warp drive technology yet. -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. tbone wrote c1e32590.0410310847.31dcbc15@posting.google.com montanajeeper montanajeeper@aol.com wrote i avoid these political threads as much as possible but will respond here. as a father and a man who loves children the only pattern i need to see is that john kerry voted 6 times to allow partial birth abortions where babies even in their third term are pulled from their mother by the feet except for the head. the base of the skull is exposed and a doctor shoves scissors in to spread the skull. a suction catheter is then inserted to suck the babies brains out until the skull collapses. i cannot express enough how sickened i am by this practice those who perform it and those who support it and dismiss it as a right to choose. im sorry your right to choose was whether or not to open your legs. killing a baby is just that. please read http//www.abortionfacts.com/literature/literature9313pb.asp and remember it when you go to the polls. nate i didnt know that kerry felt like this about abortion. with a lot of people wanting to adopt children and having to wait along time the politicians just decide that abor is the easy way out. maybe kerrys mother should of had an abortion before she had him. i wonder want kerry would think of that if kerrys mother had an abortion he wouldnt be thinking about anything. you make it sound like adoption is such an easy thing. let me tell you it isnt. i do find it funny that so many who believe in the right to life also support the death penalty. and the war on terra. jeff -- -- in the week ending oct. 17 there were 23 american soldiers killed in iraq. i saw no prominent mention anywhere. if there were 23 policemen killed in new york in a week the city would shut down. if there were 23 police officers killed in the nation in a week it would be a national calamity. but the 23 dead american soldiers went virtually unmentioned. i watch the today show and they say that now we are going to see all the good things happening in iraq. insanity. jimmy breslin .

my jd combine i put on around 100 hours on it during harvest. after harvest i change engine oil and filter fuel filters and replace the air filter. every 3-4 years the antifreeze gets changed. then i park it inside the machine shed. it sits from nov to july. thats eight months without starting it. one combine was bought new in 1978 had it till 1995 when i bought a newer model. my neighbour has it now and its still in top shape. same with my 4wheel drive tractor change oil in the fall. gets parked in nov and dont start it up till april. i would rather change the oil before storing my equipment. nicer to have clean oil sitting in the engine then dirty oil. and depends on how long its going to sit. just look in the operators manual and see what they recommend for mileage or months for changing fluids. da;e harding harding@cs.umass.edu wrote denny wrote mac i think you will just fine not flushing it again for the winter as long as the freezing protection is ok. i change oil after it has been stored. the theory there is that way you can drain any water that has accumulated from condensation. and to confuse the issue a bit ive heard you change the oil *before* storage so that the acids present in used oil dont do anything while sitting in the engine a long time. now why they would do bad things in a sitting engine as opposed to a running one is a bit vague for me. smh .

one other thing im wondering is whether its worth changing the oil before i go if its only been about 800 miles and 6 weeks since the previous change. but those 800 miles were all city driving. p.s. im heading to a few countries in asia and leaving the truck in a hotel parking lot but its actually covered. it seems like a 2-level garage...the building supervisor told me its best to leave it on the top level to avoid any possible leaks calcium etc. from the concrete ceiling. a hotel turns out to be the best place i can leave it believe it or not given my housing and travelling situation...i always leave it in hotels right next to airport for a month or so and havent had any problem yet---and only $20/week. mac wrote ooops im letting it sit it for 8 weeks...ive let it sit for 6 weeks in the past and all i do is top off the gas tank and add extra air to tires and sometimes change oil either before or after.. and thats all i plan to do now...i dont even disconnect the battery. but i dont know if long-term damage i.e. life-expectancy etc was caused by letting it sit for 6 or 8 weeks. just curious how would you know if its causing a problem or not since i would think any problems would not show up for maybe a year or 2 or 3... later i would think its very analagous to smoking...seems like no problem... until 20 years later. with a car i would think that it would be very hard to tell cause-effect problems if things like internal rust result from letting it sit and small cracks then eventually....etc.... if you are concerned about it have a trusted friend or neighbor start it up or even drive it around the block one time in the middle of the storage period. have a good trip and try not to worry about it too much. where overseas are you headed .

i guess with my 5 speed the gears can move enough with the clutch in to let it slip in but if the truck is moving even slowly it clicks and grinds. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving on sun 31 oct 2004 141809 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote really mine grinds unless i am at a complete stop. there is a lot of talk about this over at tdr. seems some have to be at a complete stop some can go in either way and some just wont go in unless they are moving just a little. .
