Tbran, Thank you for all your stories. Enjoyed listening to all your AC tractor Machinery lineup with Pete. Congratulations to you & Tony for your lifetimes of Allis-Chalmers - Gleaner & agricultural support.

10-12 years ago, Tbran shared another farmer's combine's engine intake vacuum brake line idea with me, per my then Gleaner's inline GM gas engine's belt driven governor that was leaking lubricant. Governor worked fine, but had to add 30W oil to it daily. At that time, AGCO no longer offered any parts per that that governor. Apparently another farmer's combine got serviced at BG Equipment, at which time, Tbran took notice of how that farmer got around his combine's leaking governor with this genius idea. So, I gathered the necessary items per Tbrans description & installed them. To this day, that simple apparatus is still at work. Used 90W gear lube instead of 30W. That along with the engine's intake creates enough vacuum thru a 3/16" brake line that keeps the 90W from going past the governor's worn seal. "Once & done" kinda of a deal. Thanks Tbran for sharing that simple remedy.

Tim NH, thanks for sharing / posting Tbran's video.

Actually I am a lot better looking than Greg's camera portrays. He doesn't have enough pixels. Thanks for the kind comments guys. It was a good week for us.

Is a "pixel" one of those little yellow cartoon characters with one eye ?? Congrats on your nicely deserved award, Tim.

Ha Ha Doc. Unortunately I need a magician instead of a photographer to look good. Abe Lincoln once was accused of being '2 faced' - he replied that if I had two faces, would I be wearing THIS one ? :-)

Great videos and great men. Tbran, you are one of folks that I pay very close attention to your posts. Your knowledge and experience along with Dr Allis, Lynn Marshall and a few others are so very valuable to me and members of this community. Your honors are well deserved.
I’d also like to mention your brother, Dr. Tony Brannon. I have worked with Dr. Brannon to support Ky agriculture in the past. He is passionate about agriculture and an unrivaled advocate for Murray State University College of Agriculture.A true legend. Thanks for sharing your story. Much respect.
