Does a lab manual for organic chemistry count?

https://www.partstree.com/ For parts, you can use this site. On the main page there is a button to click for all models. Hit that and you will find John Deere. Great company to deal with.

Big Boy always travels with at least one diesel engine as water is not always available when they need it. Apparently, she drinks many thousands of gallons per hour with the four pistons (and the power stroke in each direction so four power inputs per wheel revolution). So the diesel is there...

This engine is climbing a 1.8% grade through a lot of the Curve which means he ascends 1.8 feet for every 100 feet of travel. It also means he is lifting the weight of the train 1.8 feet for every 100 feet. Note he is pulling five non-operating diesel engines. The tender behind the engine...

Is it still moist from treatment? If so, let it dry for a time before putting any coating on it. Talk to someone at a paint store for a recommendation. There are so many specialized paints available now that there should be something that would be a good product for you. Kilz may work but...

I have said it on here before. Both of my VWs get their oil changed every 5000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Both are turbo DGI engines. See my signature. Both were purchased new. One is 9-1/2 years old, the other is just about 7 years old.

Like the guy says on "Barnwood Builders, "Its gooder than chicken!"

Yep. Just renewed mine in Huntingdon County, PA. Same thing....printed out the form at home and filled it in before going to the sheriff's office. Walked in, turned in that form, $20 and my driver's license, the clerk ran me through the computer (said i was "squeaky clean"), took my picture...

Use it to grease wagon wheel bearings on your Conestoga wagon!

Yep. No way. I'd trust Musk like I would trust a hungry tiger in the jungle.

Here is a shot of the interior of the Jean Bonnet Inn in Bedford, PA. Built in the 1770 period, the walls are two feet thick of solid stone. Farmers met in the building to plan their actions in what came to be the Whiskey Rebellion and President Washington's men camped there when suppressing...
