Sticks and Stones

Ran a #$%#%^* stick through the radiator of the Case Saturday. I dread having to pull that thing. It'll probably be worse than pulling a Ferguson radiator. I'm going to put a post on the Crawler forum at Yesterdays Tractors and see if anyone has any advice. It looks almost like the whole thing will come out through the front if I pull the grille.

Speaking of Fergusons, the 285 ran extremely well the whole time I had it in the field (except for the steering, which I'm accustomed to now).

This frightens me.

Badly.

It makes me wonder if this is the prelude to the engine blowing up.
