Okay, but is there NOTHING we can do? If I had a son right now I would tell him to become a plumber! Why? 'Cause you can't get someone from India to come fix your toilet!! My family thinks I'm nuts 'cause I won't shop at Wal-Mart or Home Depot (Okay, since I retired I have shopped at Wal-Mart) but have you noticed what else happened over the last 20 years? We used to take printed output off the computer and send it to the "bursting & decollating room". There, the carbon was removed along with the side strips and the paper was "burst" into single pages. Companies have got smart! They have "distributed" that "processing"!!! So now you get all this crap in the mail, with instructions so small these old eyes can't read them! and so complicated this tired old brain can't interpret them (somebody shut that violin up, will you!). But you get my meaning? What happened to the service????? What happened to quality control? It got "distributed"! Fire the lot of them! Lower the price and let the customer return what doesn't work. Trouble is, once you don't have service for the product you buy, you might as well buy that crap from China!!! If we insisted on quality and we inisted on service wouldn't the job have to be done locally? In this country? Supper is on the table - everything has to stop for food!! Ken Franks

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
