    Well I listened to the engine on the tractor today. The noise is only coming out of the top end on #3 cylinder. Its not a dropped valve as the engine runs smoothly. Yet it sure does have a wicked knocking. So the fuel has been drained. Thought I had removed everything from the tank I found one more pipe still connected and now to figure out how to get it off. There isnt enough room for me to lift the tank and slip a board underneath. Nor can I rotate the tank and get at it that way. It is a interesting puzzle. Time to read the manual.

    @Opus told me not to stay in Memphis. So we have not crossed the Mighty Missip.

    When you come across the bridge on 55, resist the temptation to get in the left lane. Almost as soon as you clear the bridge, you have to exit.

    And be prepared to slow down. Its not that tight of a curve, but its unexpected so people tend to slam on their brakes.
     
    Opus Thanks this.

    Any one know how long the scales have been out of the ground at the west bound port on I-80 in Utah as you leave Wyoming? Its been a few weeks since ive been into Utah, but I saw that its out of the ground tonight. I figured with the blitz startimg tomorrow they would have made sure to have a project like that wrapped up... Or waited.
