"Runs out well" is the opposite of runs out poorly. For instance when one runs out on ones wife, one can do it well (hide the guns, stay out of state for nearly 2 years and show up at The City Tap with a young cute girlfriend and make it back to the Ohio border before your ex hears about your residence in the tax free and deportation free country of Yashinkee where beer is free and the women all love a deadbeat... Or you can run out poorly, by beating up the sheriff's daughter and moving next door to his brother, across town with your crack addict girlfriend who offers to babysit the neighborhood children while smoking a joint topless on Sunday morning in the front yard and offering the kids a bloody mary while babbling about the value of "nutritional alcohol." The same is true of tractors. The trick is in recognition of the fact that most people who think their tractors "run out well" are those of us who have lost more than a little perspective." I believe it is the simple lack of air in un un-vented and airtight shed for the most part." Runs out well "simply means that it starts and the owner is aware that "well" in this instance is as marginal as his description.

I've been looking a maps for some time now and can't find Yashinkee. A lot of us would probably appreciate it if you could post directions. Thanks.

I was playing music with some old boys at a campground in VA a few years ago and one of them asked me if I "played out". I had no idea what he was talking about. What he meant was, did I play for money.

From the mouth of someone who does use that term in relationship to a tractor. Runs out well means just that, it may not be the most pretty thing you even had, but it usually means the engine starts and runs good. It might need a service, plugs, oil filter, air filter cleaned, etc, but it is a usable peice of equipment, and is usually ready to go to the job and work.

To me "runs out well" means it is a tractor in overall good condition, maybe not in appearance but should be ready to take to the field with minimal preparation (oil change, filters etc). Does not mean "fresh overhaul" or "like new". But its in the eye of the beholder. My father -in-law would describe all his tractors as "good running condition", where as I would describe them all as "needs work". The fact his 1070 Case leaks and burns almost a gallon of oil a day is cause of major concern to me, he says its normal cheaper to add oil then to fix or overhaul.

I agree that it is usually cheaper to add oil rather than make major repairs.

However you FIL is not doing the environment any good, and he is hurting the fuel consumption of the engine. If that much oil is being leaked and burned, the tractor is producing far less power per gallon of fuel than it should be. Hence, expensive or not, it warrants an overhaul.

I'm not an environmentalist wacko, but in this day and age we should at least think about what we are doing. The 1070 sleeves easily---or at least mine did.

You did read "FATHER IN LAW" with FIL right?

Can you tell your father inlaw what to do? I know I can't!

Like most descriptions, it is a very vague term. Could mean that it literally runs good and has no engine trouble or it could mean it will run you out of money soon. Buying a tractor sight unseen is a big gamble regardless what the seller says. Ask me how I know..... ..

I am under the impression that "runs out well" means you don't have to roll the tractor out of the shed, the engine will run long enough to drive it well outside the door.
