This talk of "wet stacking" and idling jogged a memory. We first ran Dad's three point hitch backhoe with gas tractors. Later, as diesels became predominant, we used them. Seems like more than once, and maybe with different tractors, we ended up with crud oozing out from the manifold/muffler connection.
