So just about to leave for the oil change. Hopefully no surprises there. While it snowed last night there is nothing much remaining outside of some on the vehicles. Then this afternoon when the temperature is at its peak (+5!) the job is to drain the methanol tank, add the normal windshield washer fluid and then to see about loading it onto the tilt trailer for loading into the SeaCan.

I'm encouraged in that I thought it was going to be a very tight squeeze but upon discovering yesterday that the side mirrows can actually be floded backward into toward teh door of the car that this will give me another 2 to 3 inches of clearance per side which should make things much easier! I'll still have to exit through the trunk but that is fine.

Yes, this Hege is a fairly old one. There are a number of other manufactures including one called "WinterSteiger" that I have seen with cabs. These are made for harvesting plots that are say 10 meters in length and 1.5 meters wide. The drawer on the bottom that the clean grain goes into is maybe capable of holding 40 lb at a time perhaps so you can't go too far before it has to be emptied. I'm so impressed that after clearing the fuel lines and giving it a shot of ether it actually started and ran after sitting for 3 years. I think that I learned the lesson that I need to run it every year if I plan on taking it to the field or not. Fewer surprises that way................

Time for my final Z06 drive..............

Cheers,

Garry
