I don't have a lot of 'hands-on' with an old CAT like you're looking at, but I have watched some youtube videos of a fella who rescues old iron like that, and he showed the process of freeing up a stuck injector rack, along with other things: Diesel Creek

32:1 for sure, I wouldn't have it any other way! (Which drives my brother nuts - he believes the local Stihler, who told him that too much oil is bad for his saw, and to only run Stihl Ultra at 50:1 because it's the only good oil...)

I'm almost to the end of my jug of ipone sled oil. Time to buy more, but I can't get it in the US anymore. The local carquest sells Shaeffer's. Which one is the good one, and how does it rate on the stink factor?

I like to keep bear grease around for when I start fresh on a skillet, but daily sausage/bacon cooking maintains seasoning real nice once you get them how you want them.

I'm about 40 minutes from that 475. I could be a broker if someone needs. All I ask is a chance to run it to see what the hype is about... LOL.

Never too hot for a good pot of chili.

Are the silkies more winter hardy than a normal chicken?

That's cool. I googled and found the builder's photo:

Good morning fellers. Days like today make it especially nice to work from home. My uncle mowed about 8 acres of hay around the house yesterday, so today I get to watch it dry, which is way better than it seems like it should be.

I use it for assembly lube. That's enough for me...

Solve 2 problems at once?

The real question is, what ratio do I mix the fuel scent additive at with my oil, so I can smell like grapes instead of burnt oil when I'm done cutting?

I don't know your tech savy level, but I have an app on my phone called CamScanner. I can scan in several pages with my phone and they email as a PDF file, which is pretty slick for things like that when I just need to send someone a couple pages out of a manual or something.

I love it. Can you make me a ridiculously tall one to reach the tailgate of my '11 Silverado? That stupid thing is at about chest level until I get about half a load on it.

I had a 7 lug F-150 company truck for a while. All the worst attributes of a 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton combined - the ride of an F-250 with the capacity of an F-150...
