Thanks for all the replies on Monday about changing the Duramax batteries. When I got home I had to jump it cause it was pulled up tight to the garage wall and I couldn’t get in there to work. So it fired up and I drove it out to the barn where all my tools are and shut it off. Pulled the 1st battery by the grill out no problem. On the back one it was hissing like a tea kettle. I had to remove a bracket that is above it and it was so hot I had to wear heavy gloves to touch it. Pulled the battery and it was smoking hot. I sat it in the shade for a few hours hoping it might cool down a little. About 7 pm I needed to run the old batteries back up to the auto parts store to get the core charge back and it was no longer hissing but was way too hot to touch.

They didn’t seem to worried. When I left it was sitting right up on the counter with a half dozen customers standing around. I have had them short out before but this one was hotter than any battery I have ever seen. Even the hood of the truck to too hot to touch with a bare hand over that battery and it had been sitting inside all day.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
