Thumbs up

As long as we are talking JB weld, I have a good one. My Dad rebuilds old tractors . He bought a John Deere M model. He rebuilt the motor and was assembling it when I noticed the exhuast manifold was broken in two. I said to him "looks like you
need a new manifold." he said, "naw, I'll just stick it together with some JB weld. I started laughing and
told him that was nuts.
A few days later I heard the tractor running. I went out. and watched. when he shut it down I looked and sure enough that old farmer stuck
the manifold together with JB. I still being the skeptic told him it would never last. Boy did I
eat those words. After five years that stuff was still holding. He sold the tractor when we moved to Texas. I bet that stuff is still holding.
I'm a believer now.
