Bob: I really do not get where you get "drama" out of this post.
I wrote it today because George Marsh post, asking about having warm oil in his generator for easier starting, reminded me of what I had to do to get those old tractors to start with almost zero money.
Most of the things I did where just carried over from what guys had done before me.
My Grand Father talked about having to drain the water out of the cars and tractors during the Depression and WWI because they could not afford antifreeze or get it during the war. So doing that to my old JD "G" was nothing really new.
The heating of the engine oil is talked about in many of the Model "T" era car manuals. So there again nothing new.
I just wanted to have a discussion about what things other guys have done when they where/are on a tight budget. It is interesting to hear how different areas/regions may have done something different. So once again I do not see any "drama" in that.
As for the face book analogy. This forum is kind of a face book for old tractor guys. So that one is spot on.
Now the tone of your post seems to lead one to believe you don't think I should post anything other than tractor related stuff. Well this post actually is almost all tractor related.
If you remove all of the non direct tractor posts on this forum it would quickly revert to 10 or 50 posts on switching your tractor from 6 volt to 12 volt. Pretty soon it would all be repeated things as the old stuff is not really that complicated to have a lot of different stuff going on other than how is and was used.
So if you think what I am posting is drama then you are free to post things you want to talk about. It is a pretty open forum. GO FOR IT!!!!
Maybe Samm40 posts are drama too??? How about Larry's and Sweetfeet's pictures?? Are they drama too???
There is a real simple way for YOU to miss out on all the drama. JUST DO NOT READ OR RESPOND TO ANYTHING I POST!!!! That will stop 100% of your drama issues!!!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
