    Otwell Health Heater one piece

    I used to have and use a Otwell. It was the most efficient heater manifold I've ever used. The problem was even with closing the door in warm weather, it still heated the cab beyond normal. Switching to the stock each warm season was a pain so I now use the sit-on-top of the stock manifold type...

    Bad weekend

    This post has been interesting to me. For as long as I can remember, Agreed Value was supposedly what was best. If your insurance company "agreed" to a given number, that is what you got.

    Color of a base coat for wood Graining

    When I did mahogany woodgraining I used a printers ink method. I painted the base with acrylic lacquer in Dark Russet DIA 72448 which was a then Volkswagen interior color. After graining with printers ink, I sealed it with clear acrylic lacquer.

    steering gearbox oil

    Thought about JD Cornhead grease in my two tooth gear box but I read that it liquifies with heat being generated. Decided not to as there's not much heat generated in steering vs. constantly rotating gears/bearings. I'm sticking with my Penrite. I do use Cornhead in my brush hog's gear box.
