And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Was doing that weighing in at 3800 lbs. 129/131 60 fts a hundred passes or more on it and when tore down for inspection over the winters, parts are still good. My trans was set up for me this way, I went by what was built for me. I can't recomend what's better to use, only a testimony on what I have been using is all.
