Re: Oil pickup tube replacement

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now I am either confused or befuddled.  I thought we were talking oil
pick-up tube  or is it dipstick tube? And text that explains a tool is
partly gone, and now we are talkimg wheelbarrows?????? Maybe I am to
old for being able to use these new fangled puters.
