Screen with really small holes and a rotating brush. Cool, do they work? We had things like that for water intake screens, keep the algae and trash from stopping flow.

Drives my wife nuts, but I can drive halfway across the country without using the radio in the car/truck. I listen to engine noise, tire noise, etc., and it lets me know how the vehicle is doing on the trip. I wanna know if I run over a nail or screw or whathaveyou, and I want to know how the engine is doing.
Granted, it's not too important, really, as our vehicles are newer and very well maintained, but it makes me feel better. On our last trip, in fact, I was able to figure out that I'd ran over a nail and got it in my tire, and get it fixed before it became an issue (the tickticktick gave it away, and I caught it inside of 50 yards).
The wife actually drove down the highway with a shredded tire she didn't know about because her radio was too flippin' loud, but that was when we were first married, and I've tried to cure her of that.

I had a sheetrock screw in a tire on one of my trucks for 30k miles. Didn't leak. Held until the tire wore out.

Screen with really small holes and a rotating brush. Cool, do they work? We had things like that for water intake screens, keep the algae and trash from stopping flow. Yup Yeah, those work pretty well. My old tractor I traded off on my new one was bad about overheating. Small fins on the radiator plugged up within a couple hours, and the temp gauge would start rising... Stop, fire up the compressor, and blow it all out... Good for another couple hours. My new tractor though, has much more space in fins of the radiator, and runs absolutely cool. I just blow it out once a month or so. It also has front screens that slide out, and you knock the obstructions off on a tire, and slide them back in. MUCH better. Much.

bucktail and rockin', thanks for that info. Not that I'll ever be in the market for something that does that type of work on a scale big enough to overheat. It's just nice to know the mfgs are actually using modern technology at times. Probably adds $10K to the price of a new rig though

It's just nice to know the mfgs are actually using modern technology at times. Probably adds $10K to the price of a new rig though My new CTL has a HUGE radiator, and doesn't plug up easily, but operating in dusty, dirty conditions, it needs blown out too. Air filter, and inside a/c filter too. Amazing how much dust gets sucked in. The coolant isn't standard antifreeze though. It's the new OAT coolant. Great... more product to have to carry around. OAT coolant, DEF fluid, hydraulic fluid,... My pickup is just a rolling toolbox and fuel station. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/0bV2FWb.jpg)

Not a deep thought....but I actually scared a bull today.
Testing bulls and was running up behind one in the alley way.
Not making much noise except for the thud thud thud and wheezing.....
Bull turns his head and jumps straight up! Then forward.
Realized he fugged up and tried to turn around to escape....as he had gone too far forward in his surprise.
Nope....closed the gate on him......then he got a giant electric probe in his ass.
Bad start for him.....but then we turned him out with the cows.
I am MAGA.

Yeah, I was amazed the 35 year old MF with the shuttle transmission states 10w motor oil meeting xyz mil spec, but it wants hydraulic fluid meeting abc mil specs in the transmission.
Fortunately, there's some multi use fluids out there now that meet all the specs.
I seem to remember the old Case 480 and 480B backhoes my friend owned used diesel and hydraulic fluid. None of this new stuff needed. Five gallon milk cans of each kept in the truck in reserve.

Speaking of deapness...
Where's the turkey vultures this year? In my area, haven't seen a single one from mid-March to now. I don't think that is normal.
