Here is the latest update. The engine is in the process of being rebuilt. They have decided while things are apart that they do in fact want to replace all bearings. The blower was good, the alternater was good, but they sent it down to be cleaned up and i think added some new bushings if I recall correctly. I ordered the insulation from Steve at Dupree and they will hang that in the engine compartment as well as in the area around the blower where the insulatuion was bad. I have a new patio awning arriving next week and have also pulled out the old backup monitor so Tim can figure out a camera for me. I told the guys i wabnt it ready for the South Dakota pheasant opener in the thrid week of October so they will march to that date.

BTW all you Newell hunters maybe we should have a mini rally next fall at Dawn's unlces ranch in the middle of the state by the Missouri river. He is a true rancher so the birds are wild, but SD is the pheasant capital of the nation. Some years we limit out a dozen guys in a couple of hours and some years we walk all day and fill half our limit, but it is always fun. Lets think about that.
