Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
Ok - so here's the point where you find out they are not "exactly" the same....apparently the transfer case shift lever is "coarse" thread and the transmission shift lever is "fine" thread

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
I guess that's not entirely true: I noticed the engine seemed to run "too cool", that is, the needle on the temp gage wouldn't come up to the first mark. Probably running about 140 degrees, and I was concerned that wasn't warm enough to burn all the condensate out of the motor oil plus - with winter coming - I'm going to want some heat in the cab!
So I did replace the thermostat with a new 180 deg stat; that seemed to help, as the needle is now coming up to the first mark on the gage. I'm wondering if that earlier stat (marked as a 180) had some problems. K

Thanks; I hadn't heard that. I will check it out (...although I have some degree of confidence it may have been the thermostat since changing it seems to have made a difference). K

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
As I recall from HS physics, as an electrical component rises in temp, its' electrical resistance increases.

a positive temperature coefficient is as you described, temperature rises=resistance rises (examples include: incandescent bulbs and motor windings) a negative temperature coefficient is just the opposite, temperature rises=resistance falls (examples include: thermistors and semi-conductors) I am not sure if the temperature coefficient of a sending unit is positive or negative though....

Keith:
Where did you pickup the vinyl floor covering? I've always liked it better than carpeting...as long as there was a good thick mat installed beneath. |

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
These are the inserts that go in the door trim panels. This is the same technique I used for the dash panel insert, discussed previously:

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
No, no - I have to be done. I've got other stuff I'm supposed to be working on!
![]() Seriously, I had one project one time that was actually DONE. I redid a Farmall tractor and once it was refurbished I never had to work on it again. It was a very cool feeling (...very different from having a race car. Race cars are never done...): ![]() ![]()

That's a cool tractor. Do you still have it? If so that would be a sweet photo with your swb pulling your tractor.
