Got a little too much sun yesterday and got sick so I didn't get a whole lot done today except wet sand a paint job I did on a truck and eliminate an ornery old nasty tom cat I've been stalking for awhile.

Do you know how hot it is raplacing the PTO clutch in a CIH 2388 when the temp is 115 when the engine is still hot? Jim
