When I worked for Hi-Ball Crane, I got sent out to load, move, and unload a rock similar to that one. It was found in a housing development near Bath, MI. They said it took (3) model 200 Komatsu excavators to get it out of the hole. It had been out in the open and a slab weighing 4000LBS had split off of one edge. The main piece weighed 27 ton. Got it loaded with no problems. When we got to its destination, the owner of the rock wanted it turned about half a turn. That have been good to know when we were in the big open field with a dozer available. Now were in the back yard, no room, and no dozer. Someone suggested rolling it off the edge of the lowboy that hauled it. I convinced everyone that plan would most likely damage the trailer. We were finally able to balance the rock on edge and push it over with a skid steer loader. Our biggest fear was shock loading the crane if we just tried to flop it. Once it was turned correctly, we set it in a small fish pond. I ran into the owner of the lowboy a few weeks later. He thanked me for not attempting to roll it of the trailer.

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.
