Hello everyone, I know this topic isn't tractor related. Please forgive me. I just wanted to give everyone an update on my esophogeal cancer journey. I am currently undergoing radiation and chemo treatments at Mayo in Rochester Minnesota. I just started the first of 25 radiation treatments on Monday this week and my first of 5 chemo treatments was yesterday. I am severely struggling swallowing solid food since I was diagnosed on June 7,2023. After I complete these treatments, and if all goes well, I will have about a 4 week recovery, and then hopefully I will have the esophojectomy surgery in mid October. The esophojectomy is a very intense 6-8 hour surgery where 3 doctors remove my cancerous esophagus and the top of my stomach, and then reform the rest of my stomach into a tube and reconnect it to the back of my throat. I will have a feeding tube in my belly until I can learn to eat again on my own. This could be a 6 month or longer recovery, depending on how my body is handling all these changes. So my life will be forever changed from here on. I am leaving this all in our good Lord's hands to guide me through this journey succesfully. Thank you all for listening. Wishing you all the good Lord's blessings on your day. Attached is a picture of me in a t shirt my wonderful wife designed for my cancer journey. We are also selling these t shirts as a private fund raiser for me. Kow Farmer Kurt

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. 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.
