- Comment on What happens of you use the gas from the exhaust pipe to inflate a tire? 11 months ago:
You are not the first to think of that . But I know the adaptor was somewhat common (the 8n is the most popular tractor model ever, and shared an engine with the model A) and i've never heard of issues. I'm not sure if that is because nobody talked about it though.

The exhaust won't work, but included with my grandpa's 1952 8n ford tractor came with an adaptor that you would replace a spark plug on one cylinder, and then pump up a tire using the unburned air fuel mixture into the tire, and running the enigne on the other 3 cylinders.
So the idea is very close to something that was actually done in the real world.
- Comment on Do I need a license to kill a squirrel? 11 months ago:
There are multiple different rules in many locales. Here are the rule for MN (as of 20 years ago) The DNR has a season on them, so you have to have a small game license (no license needed if under 16), hunt in season, obey the maximum per day limits, and eat it after you kill it. The health department considers them rodents and will sometimes issue permits to kill them year round in specific areas, you don't need to eat them. Agriculture law allows you to kill any non-endangered species that is a pest (this is what allows you to kill mice as well).
Remember the above is MN law as of 20 years ago when I last checked. Such law changes from time to time and place to place.
