Just wondering........ I think that it would be a nice trip to go to the Cody Firearms Museum. How many of you gentlemen have actually been there? I am thinking about taking a trip next summer. Is it worth traveling 1,000 miles to see it? Any opinions? Thanks.

Any opinions? Thanks. I have been there. It is quite a place. But if you go to western Wyoming only to see the museum, you are really missing out. The entire region is pretty awesome. If there are specific things you want to see at the museum, you might ask ahead about what is possible.

The prof is right Jimmy. You owe yourself a walk down the Cody mainstreet when the weather breaks, and the stores are open. There'll be all manner of patriotic and pro 2A t-shirts, even the folks from kali have to wade through it. Do you eat beef?

First visited in the summer of 1980 on a cross-country road trip after I got out of the Navy. Went to the 2003 and the 2014 Remington Society seminars there and probably a couple of other times when at Yellowstone National Park. Well worth your time.

We visited Cody on a trip to a dude ranch up in the Sunlight Basin. The museum was worth the trip in itself for me. My wife may not have been quite as impressed as I was. I also enjoyed the fly fishing shops there. Good restaurants as well. We stayed a night at Buffalo Bill's Irma hotel....Geo

I have never seen diesel fuel gel before, until tonight. That tractor is not moving.

Do make sure you use the winter blend diesel, but, you will probably have trouble anyway when it is this cold. I wish that global warming would kick in. Best, Ted

There are different additives to use post and pre freezing. You may have to replace some filters. It is a PITA, but I have been okay so far this year. You can also throw a tarp over your machine and put a space heater or incandescent trouble light under there to keep it warm, but the fuel separator, and all the lines are sometimes difficult to keep warm. There are also electric jackets you can put over your filters and separator, but I have never tried them. Next time, put the gasoline car/truck out in the drive and your tractor in the garage - well ahead of the cold.

Best, Ted Lol, don't try to start it, till it warms up a bit and everything thaws. You're probably going to be freezing arse tinkering, and might make it worse. The tank and lines will probably keep gelling anyway, even if it fires up. This is what #1 diesel is for, but it still might be a hard starter, if it's never been there before. Maybe having a can of starter in the tool bin, wouldn't be a bad idea, if this tractor does emergency work.
