Been working on the Onan in my skid steer for weeks. Had a valve issue to start with and some said they had issues with the valve seats coming loose and an overhaul kit was $1200.00 without the valve problem or machining. So first I bought a used engine. Well that didn't work out. So then I took mine apart to see how bad it was. Turned out it was good inside except needed the valves ground. So I took it to an engine guy and he did the valves, honed the cylinders and put new rings in it. Got it back and it ran great except for a massive oil leak from somewhere behind the engine. This was a massive leak where the oil ran off the engine and on the ground. Would lose a quart in less than an hour. So I took it out and thought it might be the oil filter housing that allows the remote oil filter. So I resealed that. Nope, not it. Ok, took the motor out again and looked but couldn't see where the oil came from. The problem is the fan blows the oil all over so everything is covered. So I took it back to the engine guy and he thought that since he didn't pull the flywheel and change that seal and gasket maybe that got damaged when he worked on the other side. So we pulled the flywheel and did that side. Put the motor back in and still leaked. So I pulled it out again and took it back and today we took it all apart and checked and resealed and put in new gaskets. Put it back in and still leaked. At that point I was very unhappy! So I took it out again and put it on the bench and hooked it up to run. Didn't take long to find the leak then. Was the new oil pressure sending unit I put on. Oil was just running out of it. Dang that was a lot of work and time for a new part that was bad. So tomorrow I'll get another sending unit and try that. If tomorrow night you see a large fire near Grasston Mn, just never mind! Lol

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
