Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

150 bu per acre average very good for this part of the world and all good quality as well though It could have been about 160 had I picked different hybrids but you never know I have 60k bu in the bins so I have a busy winter it sounds like

I have a coolant leak on the right side of the motor and havnt determined whether it is water manifold or head gasket you can guess which one I would rather it be me and a buddy are gonna investigate further this after noon it is a 2ks series c12 anyone else ever have this?

 

Supposedly the crossfires have orings to help seal the valve stem, I am told its the orings that get twisted around, and then fail during install, and that's where the leaks come from. You'd sure think that would be an easy enough fix... I will double check them with a light wrench adjustment.

Hit Colwich again today, and to my surprise there was dang near nobody there. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Today was a decent day money wise, tomorrow wont be. I get one 30 mile load, and that's it! Were done for the day, but that's ok. Gotta take good with the bad I suppose. Guess its just gonna be slow till Christmas is over.

Got to the truck stop in Wichita late this afternoon, attempted to fuel. Apparently they were having a good old brawl inside the truckstop. I went out side and patiently waited for about ten minutes for things to calm down. Cops showed up, I decided tomorrow would be a better option for fueling. Too bad I didnt have a squirrel to thrown into the mix, that would have really got things stirred up in there.

 

First guess is water pump weep hole, 2nd is the o-ring on the oil cooler (had a C15 that would leak only when cold, while running or when plugged in it was fine)

 

Out by Dodge. Its animal grade salt...
