    • There is nothing that compare to joyous experience of basking in delectable odor of old dinosaur fart’s (gear oil) for hours upon end except for basking in burnt up old dinosaur farts (burnt gear oil) however well roasted ATF is definitely a close second 😂🤣😅😁

    • Respirator to the rescue, won't smell a thing! That smell is from the Sulfur in oils like gear oil, which is really good at anti-friction needed for gears.

You do an excellent job of framing all those little decisions. For those of us who don't do it all like you, we do our small part, but we hardly ever get to see the victory shot of the machine running, so that was very cool you included it.
