I may be wrong I was thinking syringe but I've seen a similar style syringe pump used to pump the stomach on cows and horses used to be what was done years ago before it was understood what it was and how to cure it y'all could be right about a pump especially being along Richland creek -Dusty-

In those days most regimens had a field medic who served as doctor,surgeon, and dentist all I've got some old field instruments from the civil war era John Rice Irwin up at museum of Appalachia is a great source to identify and date artifacts and usually he'll take a look for free I may be wrong but from the picture the diameter and tube appear to be proportional to field syringes of that period -Dusty-

They were nickel for the most part because it was easier to sterilize where it didn't hold the residue and when and if they tarnished it was easier to remove they reused the medical instruments in those days so it had to be durable and had to sterilize easier -Dusty-

I might be wrong without closer inspection can't be sure but it looks like one of the antique syringes from mid 1800's to early 1900's -Dusty-

[Any rear end experts in the house?]

You have a limited slip 3.55 rear end with 9.75" rearend -Dusty-

[Any rear end experts in the house?]

I had a 2000 model that rear end should take the synthetic 75w-140 or the 90weight synthetic I had a popping and chatter in mine turned out to be a wheel bearing going bad check the inside of your rear wheels for any signs of oil another thing check your vent on that rear end if it gets stopped up it'll heat up which breaks down the oil in the differential and causes a loss in viscosity but before I go changing the fluid again I'd add the motor craft (made by ford) additive to it and check the inside edges of my rims and inside walls on my tires for signs of any leaks if you see any sign of oil your grease seal and possibly your wheel bearing could be bad any of these will cause that popping and rattling especially in a turn I had the same issue once before -Dusty-

[School me on Dove Hunting]

I figure the hard stuff comes with experience I've got a couple corn fields I take beginners to and usually do pretty well but you can spook off a new hunter if you start telling the hard stuff but you're definitely right late season they can get spooky and hard to get in on a good approach -Dusty-

[School me on Dove Hunting]

I believe in paying it forward the only way to keep the outdoor sports alive is to pass it on down the line to anybody wanting to learn -Dusty-

[School me on Dove Hunting]

Honestly easiest way is to just go find a good millet field or corn field when they come in on approach then drop them that's how I learned anyway I live up east of Knoxville in Jefferson county if you're up this way I can teach you when season comes back around -Dusty-
