Well looks like my wife is slowly getting better. She most always stays sick longer than mist, so a lengthy illness is nothing new. Still coughing and having trouble breathing but no fever and not getting worse. She has been a lifetime smoker so she is at higher risk, but so far not really worse than most colds with cough for her.
Yesterday started as cleanup day, spent most of the day cleaning up my shop and yard from over a year of accumulating garbage. Which is why I've come to the conclusion that I need professional help. Lol. How can anyone collect so much junk in a year? I'm not a hoarder because I know it's garbage. Hoarders stuff is valuable stuff, at least in their mind.I know it's garbage and have every intention of picking it up, throwing it out, putting it away, disposing of it properly.............tomorrow.........or next week......... or when it warms up, or some other time. Lol. I picked up cardboard boxes that stuff came in, seed and fertilizer bags from last spring, an inch of dirt on the floor tracked in on tires, just to name a few. I'm sure a bonafide head shrinker could cure me of it, given enough time and with enough motivation. This is the result of most of a days effort.
This is the reason the 400 is back in the shop.
When I checked the oil it was over full and creamy, and that came out of the drain plug. Kinda expected that as that engine sat for a few years dry and the seals on the sleeves can dry out and leak. So it was back in the shed for some more lovin. Got it apart yesterday after the cleanup.
The engine is in great shape other than a cracked head which is not uncommon for these. It has no ridge on the sleeve tops and the bearings show almost no wear. So looks like I'll get by pretty reasonable this time.
Cattle are enjoying their new space. Now I just have to clean out their pen for the last time and the hog pens again, that will likely be tomorrow since it's supposed to rain. I think I'll work on the manure spreader project today.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
