South west Wisconsin has a problem with feral hogs -some brought from Texas and some local escapees. Causing some damage- law has decided that a small game license is all that nonlandowner needs to take them, landowner can shoot without license and tell DNR later. Was attempt at prosecution of exotic game ranch owner who supposedly brought hogs from Texas and turned them loose after some license was denied by state-- went to trial and not proven so he didn"t have to pay $$$ for control by state-- damage seemed to have been caused by other than his hogs, prosecution witness wasn"t competent, some of his accused hogs were still in pens, others had been sold and couldn"t be found but about 1/2 of missing were supposed to have been barbecued (others seemed to have escaped).

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
