A caution when vacuuming mouse poop. The vacuum can create a fine dust of the stuff and may give you breathing difficulties. Best to put another hose on the discharge to get it away from you.

For those that don't know about it: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. It has been deadly. I saw a co-worker get real sick (ICU at hospital) from cleaning mouse nests from a mountain top communication shack.



Surprised I'm still alive from the mouse nests built in the heater hoses in my old ford truck.

…… thanks guys,.... good advice . mice are bad news for sure . always good to put on a respirator/mask. PPE. Brother greg, assisting in the pics, his father in-law, about 15 yrs. ago contracted that in a cut on his hand. he was working on an old Mack. damaged his heart, been dealing with it ever since, bad stuff for sure..... good to male everyone aware, thx again....

Water in the hydraulic fluid, my tranny fluid looked like chocolate milk when I drained it, years of water getting into the trans while sitting out in a field I suppose.

…….. I would concur,... ''strawberry'' milk,.. never good, means the whole system is contaminated. obviously water in oil, froze & cracked the casting ; bad news for ; HMV , cyl…..etc...

Proper terminology is a “hose reducer”, pp can prolly verify as oem part from tucker. Lol

Smart to do a rapid pic posting before the tying down (on trailer) critique could get started, we’re easily distracted.

Nice cat I really like this version, they look unstoppable.
