Turkey Buzzard for sure!
My neighbor has been keeping some fed for so long with some of his "trappings" that the grass or crops don't grow where he's fed them for so long.

Yea was thinking that, the head does look like a vulture, I've seen them in the air and was told that's a turkey vulture, but never seen one close up. Heard they can really make a mess where the nest/live. Not a very handsome fellow for sure.
Thanks, JB.
Thanks, JB.

John,
I call them all buzzard, that one is for sure is a Turkey vulture, they sure leave a lot of nasties behind anywhere they go and roost.
JC,
Ps. Sure am glad our national bird of choice for Thanksgiving happens to be turkey and not turkey vulture, yikes

About the turkey vultures, like I said I've seen them in the air but not close up, one day we had about 5-6 flying around over my house, couldn't get them all in the frame though. Easily recognizable with those widely spaced feathers at the wing tips I guess.
Hey JC,
While I got you here if you'll remember I have no dip stick in my 1700's tranny, I think you measured it before for me, do you happen to remember how deep the full mark is, say from the top of the filler opening to the fluid level. I meant to engrave the measurement on the cap but didn't, mine now is about 6.5 inches down and looks pretty empty. May be OK as I seem to remember 7"?

John,
7" is right. if I remember you should not tighten the deep stick cap in so the distance should be 7" flush with the opening. I don't believe 1/2'' one way or another make much difference as the inlet screen for the pump stays fully flooded. The transmission gear lube is mainly done by splashing and I don't think the gears are fully submerged in the oil based on the dipstick oil level mark.
JC,
