Kip,

Welcome to the group.

If you haven't already, you should download the parts and service manual
from this site.

The group is great and they have a lot of BS experience. (no pun intended)

Enjoy.

Randy, despite your intent not to make a pun, you nailed it. I'd say we excel at BS of all descriptions. ;D ::) ;D

Just reinforce Bert's comment - we even excel in all matters relating to BS here in Australia. We certainly have a lot of cattle that we export.
Damn  :o filet steak is now around $45 a Kilogram thanks to overseas sales. Welcome to the site Kip.

This is the only place where if people want to give me a load of BS, I will gladly accept it!  :o

Welcome Kip and if you have any pics of your "new" 175, feel free to share them with the gang.

Ray, $45 almost gave me a coronary until I divided by 2.2...whew!! Still pricey, but not enough to stop me from eating beef. Have to admit to buying Australian. Pretty good stuff!!
