Cseries, Not wanting to upset your Chevrolet loyalty, I've got a 2000 Ford F-350 Super-Duty with a Power Stroke Diesel and 6 speed manual tranny. It pulled a 24 foot trailer loaded down with an Oliver 770 and a WD-45 Allis with a 2 rown mounted corn picker no problem. Oh yeah, it was in late August with temps in the upper 90's. AND...it was 500 miles one way to northern Nebraska from where I live in SW Missouri. It took a real large hill to make the truck slow down at all in 6th gear, and when I shifted into 5th, the truck would increase speed all the way to the top. Also averaged 18 mpg there and back... I was very happy. I've heard lots of good things about the Cummins, my father has a 91 Dodge with a Cummins, won't keep up with my powerstroke, but it'll outdo just about all gas motors in my opinion. The new Duramax Diesels from Chevy sound pretty strong, but I've heard 5 seperate stories of either blown head gaskets or cracked heads within 5000 miles. It'll keep up with a powerstroke until you lose a bank of 4 cylinders. So, I'm a ford fan, also like Dodge's with Cummins, but haven't been a fan of the Chevy Diesel performance. I guess I saw too many of those 6.2 L diesels in trucks that wouldn't spin the tires in wet grass. Oh well....I tend to digress, Oh yeah....Check out our Chapter's new website and sign the guestbook.

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
