Guess he was angry.  Anyway it solidified and plugged up the filters.  I ended up taking most of the hoses off and cleaning the junk out of them.  The stuff was soft. You could crumble it with your fingers so I figured what was left in the system could not hurt any of the steel gears in the drives and pumps.  It got soft and sticky if you warmed up the oil so I just would run it a few minutes every day and left it out in the cold.Montana    Then just changed the filters every few hours for six cycles.. Cut the filters apart to see how much they were catching.  Less each time.  Last set there was no contamination. Now I think he knew but refrained from telling me so I would buy it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
