Good morning yt/red iron folks! Up shortly after 0300 central time. Best part of the day right now - ->26 and light winds. Will be 0-5 with winds gusting=chill factor down to -20 tonight. Better get out and get some pictures taken early. Have been drinking 1/26 coffee, thumbing through Sept. and Nov. RPM. Thoughts are of my 340; a fine elderly gentleman excavator, who, if one was to call it retirement, dug graves at several cemeteries. Passed on at 82, about a month since his wife’s passing. He liked to see me in my pin-stripped bibs and white shirt, like my grandpa Lars wore. “...now I still think that really looks sharp” he would say. He joked, wondering who would dig his grave. Ralph, ‘Digger’, a fine gentleman and a great community volunteer; the beauty of nature with about 5" of s**n*o***w on the ground. Plans for today - pat my tractor, put new seat back on her, fill the radiator and check potency of fluid, try to track down a new headlight for her. Spend time w/my dad and enjoy some fresh baked goods from a mom/pop bakery. My rule: no store-bought treats of any kind on the weekends. Peruse my 340 parts book, ponder what Hugh is up to in ‘O Canada’ land and enjoy the day. Wondering what you IH fans are up to today? Ok, time for fresh coffee. Folks, lets play nice on this board this weekend. Enjoy your day!

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.
