Why my little diesel tractor was running lousy
My little Bolens/ISEKI diesel tractor started belching black smoke a couple months ago, so I figured it was the fuel injectors. Wrong. We have been overrun by little furry beasts call chipmunks this year. I pulled the air filter - and this is what I found:
Yes, those are two furry bodies. Now I have to find a new air filter for this orphan tractorDave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug

last year i started having pure hell with my blasting rig. damn thing just would not work right no matter what i did. i change media , adjusted air did everything i could think of. fought it for most of the year. then we decided the media valve was worn out or something so i tore it down to replace. this is what i found. in all there were 3 mummified mice in the bottom of the valve. made it really hard to adjust .i now have a screen over the hopper .

Chipmunks, crazy but I never ever saw a chipmunk in my lifetime around here except for ALVIN on saturday mornings
But in the last couple of years they are everywhere. And its not unusual to find signs of em in at least 1 or 2 vehicles per day that come through my shop. At least they are cute little buggars.

Yeah, they're cute until they start nibbling on the wire insulation when their food of choice becomes scarce..... Originally Posted by HWORRELL

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I usefdto have a mouse problem, until this little almost Feral cat showed up.. I befriended her, got her "neutralized" and started feeding her... when I started seeing food left in the bowl, I cut the portions back just enough to keep her a TINY bit hungry...
Now I just have to pick up the heads and entrails, they usually don't live long enough to cause any damage...

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
