Busy weekend. Fixed the garage propane heater by replacing the high limit sensor. Added a starter switch on the dash of the Case 450 dozer and cleaned up the starter wiring. Still wondering about whether I have a crack in the case or bad head gasket that's allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. Seem to be losing coolant and no evidence of it in the oil or leaking. Drained all 3 gallons (should have had 8) of trans fluid and replaced with 5 gals of real TCH. Much more power now.

Cleaned up almost all the old stump left from clearing the land and pushed them further back out of sight on the land into Mt Stumpmore.

Also picked up a mess of old propane tanks to play with as wood stoves and a piece of thick glass for a machining surface when needed.

Got my little 22 semi pistol out and played with it some. Scored 975 rounds of 22LR at Walmart for $55. Lucky timing. I got the last 3 boxes.
