This may not come as a shock to some of you but I have only lived in the country for 4 years so it horrified me. Last night, right around dusk I was driving home and noticed something in the tall grass at the side of the dirt road. There was a bit of motion and a flash of black and white so I slowed down for a better look. Lo and behold there were a bunch of kittens in the grass. Well, that got my undivided attention. Wife and I hopped out of car and went investigating. Sure enough, there was a rather hungry looking Momma cat and 4 kittens at the side of the road. As soon as we came near, the kittens came running over and pretty much jumped into our arms. Momma took off, but I will get her today, I know where she is. The way those cats responded, there is no way they are wild! There are no farms for about two miles in any direction. Someone dumped a cat and a litter of kittens in the ditch and left. It made me so mad that I barely slept last night. Needless to say we now have 4 barn cats and will likely have a 5th by end of day. I am not really a cat person but there is no way those little guys are going to a shelter. The barn belongs to them now. On a good note, my mouse problems in the barn should go away. Like I said, this dumping of animals may not be a shock to some and I know I have heard of it before but to see the results just infuriated me. There were so many other options!!

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.
