The rope trick: I will share. Needed: 1/8" nylon or poly cord (no thicker) Silicon Spray Warmth 65 or more degrees is desirable Put the rubber gasket on the glass (if it has a split in it (one long universal piece) wrap it on and measure it with no stretching, and cut it to length, then super glue the ends together, (not on the glass)) When the gasket is on the glass, wrap one and 1/2 gasket lengths of the cord into the outer groove of the gasket such that the beginning and end of the cord are at the bottom of the glass, and using a bit of tape, held there. Spray the outer groove with silicone spray (wet is OK) Place the window onto the bottom metal edge such that the gasket is in place on both sides of the metal edge. This will also require care so the gasket is centered in the opening left to right. While pushing firmly on the glass to hold it against the edge, pull on the tail end of the cord. when you get to the lip of the gasket that is outside the edge, the cord will act like a tire tool pulling the lip inside the edge. Continue around the frame being careful to seat the gasket as the cord is pulled. As you progress to the top of the frame, the opposite end of the cord can also be pulled to start the gasket lip up the other side. Push in at all times to avoid loosing the fit, or position of the glass. Hold both ends of the cord when or if it begins to slip through the gasket, Slipping can cut the gasket, and loosing the end of the cord is not good. The last couple of inches will be the hardest, pull so the cord is not trying to cut into the gasket, rotating the position of the cord and tugging may be an answer. I replaced 40 rear windows in brand new F150 250 Pu trucks using this method. (putting in slider windows in place of solid glass) It is the best I have to offer. Jim

Today's Featured Article - 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.
