Ill tell you this has been one of the most intresting reads for me in a good long time. Kinda hate, in a crazy sort of way, to see it end.

We bought an excovator for the farm in Pa when I worked for cat. When it came in on trade it was what we needed up there. So the lead machanic and I stayed after work one day and cut all the filters open on the machine. That was I think one of the best 200 bucks I spent in looking at a used piece of equipment. He had a tool cut the top and bottom out of the filter and then he put the element in a vise and squeezed all the oil out of it. Then layed them open on a table to see what was in them. That was the first time I saw anyone do that.
