While I was in college, I worked for about 3 years at an egg breaking plant where whole eggs were processed into frozen product for industrial use (commercial bakeries, etc.) and powdered eggs. We also "oiled" whole eggs for the army. (BTW, this was Vietnam war era.) They were candled, washed, and then sprayed with some type of oil. After this process, they were packed in 30 doz double sided cardboard cases, wired shut, marked with a date code and plant # and then shipped out by the rail car load. Shortly after I started working there, one of the guys that worked at the plant was drafted, and ended up in Korea instead of Nam. He came back to work after doing his time an army cook. He told of opening cases of eggs processed in our plant that had date codes in excess of a year after being processed. He knew how to read the codes, as one of his jobs at the plant was to stamp both the plant code # and date codes on the cases after they were wired shut. He said they were as good as fresh eggs. Obviously, eggs will keep fresh for a long time if handled properly. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

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
