Not trying to be a smart ass but if you can pop off a cylinder head and almost always visually see a .001 difference in a cylinder sidewall I'd say you're wasting a rare talent.
Try one of these, I picked this up on Amazon to replace the cam and front crank (oil pump) seals on my Subaru. The Lisle part # is 58430 : Edit#2 I can't seem to put a picture and text on the same post today, try again:
The house I grew up in had the glass fuses, but I suspect the first owners of the house didn't have that problem. It was up in the Oakland hills, and was built in 1848, 2 years before California became a state.
Mine let the smoke out of one breaker last year. My wife was using a leaf blower to clean off the driveway and the extension cord she was using shorted out. The cord melted and was just starting a small patch of hay on fire in the driveway when I came home. I ran inside and had to grab a chair and use it to beat the circuit breaker to the off position. It melted the wall outlet on the sun porch. I've since set 90% of the house up on GFI circuits. Now that we picked up a hot tub that needs to be wired it's a moot point anyway, the Zinsco box is full with only 14 breakers, mostly doubles. Twelve years ago we went to Costco in Bend and were gone several hours and the moment we got in the front door the baseboard heater in the living room shorted out, spraying sparks across the living room. Again the breaker didn't trip on it's own. I guess you could call these “Fake” breaker panels.
Good catch Larry. If you think that's bad, I have a Zinsco circuit panel in my house I need to change out
. Google Zinsco and you'll see what I mean.Was this your order?

When I google your loader all I get is your inquiries for parts. Try the manufactures web page and click a button indicating you are interested in one of their new loaders, maybe they will get back to you then.
I think that sense wire goes to an idiot light on the dash in a GM harness. It's been so long my brain is a little fuzzy, I'll ask my mechanic friend for a conformation.
Heirloom tomatoes, I see them in catalogs and in the store, but they are full season. If I had time I would try a few and keep them in the greenhouse. But that is a good example of something to grow commercially in a small operation. Small market, bring a premium of double or triple the price of regular tomatoes so you could eke out a profit.
The late frost date and cool nights means you really have to be a sucker for punishment to be a gardener around here , but there are a lot of us trying anyway. The mountains, lakes, streams, clean air and small town low crime rate living more than make up for it.
Strictly for personal use. I start tomatoes, onions, peppers, and later squash and pumpkins to give them a head start for our short season. I'll buy tomato and pepper plants later and put them in increasingly larger pots so they are 3' tall or so when they go out. I only start from seed varieties we like but can't find in stores. I grow Cipollini onions from seed because I can't find plants or sets ( my wife really likes them). Our last frost date is around June 7th, the first date in fall is a crap shoot. Could be September 1st, could be the beginning of November.
You really have to know your market and have skills to survive in a commercial setting here. On the other side of the Cascade range is the valley where everything grows like crazy. They have the perfect weather and even our soil! When the Snake river and Columbia gorge were formed water flooded through and deposited top soil in the valley. Our “Central Oregon Moon Dust” is 6″ to 2' deep, the top soil in the valley is up to 600' deep! Oh, and they have water too.
But we get a winters worth of potatoes, beans, peas, sometimes corn, peppers, onions, carrots, etc.
