Jack ideas?

I like it, a lot depends on the length of the tail pipes. A better version would include a lumpy cam- Copymutt

Pulled & parked the plow off the K20. Officially called the season. Impressed w/ the way Rustoleum Massey Ferguson grey held up for the winter. Filled the temporary tank w/ 90 octane non ethanol & she seems to like it.
