Truth be told, Bill, Igor has already advised Stefan on the phone that 
the heater core replacement would be a good idea at that point. Not that 
I object getting a second opinion from the list though...
:)

However at the moment "Igor's Garage n Tool Emporium" is occupied by a 
15hp 42" Craftsman tractor standing on loading ramps _sideways_, tilted 
at 24º with a floor jack. I am trying to determine a tipping point for 
this tractor. My property has a nasty 24º embankment in the back. I am 
considering either a cantilever counterweight or wheel extensions. 
Stefan was kind enough to loan his home gym bar and plates for me to 
experiment.
