Stop in for a cup of coffee

So was gonna work in the dart today, but thunderstorms, and a big uninsulated steel building because not only a cold space but an echo chamber in storms. I can’t stand to work in it during thunderstorms, just too damn loud even for me. So back to thinking.

Is there any major downside to eliminating the bulkhead connector? Other than the obvious ease of disconnect ? Thinking of replacing it with a Deutsch connector.

Who needs a connector. All you need is a grommet. You'll need to cut or disconnect the wires if you want to remove the engine harness but when was the last time that was done? Ease of assembly on the line is what the bulkhead connectors were all about.
 
It's Maverick Monday!

Well the harness was just installed haha. So last spring. I did think about hardwiring it as well. And heat shrinking over it
 
Looks like lows around freezing and highs in 40's to low 50s for a week. Then we start seeing 60's every day. So far, no sign of our usual big spring snow. :thumbsup:
 
Morning everyone, sun is out, tractor is plugged in, and drinking coffee. 12 inches to 3 feet depending where you walk. one more cup, then I start plowing snow.

you know, people who never came "out west" have no clues of the steep passes we have out here......New Diesel pickups fly up these hills now, BUT, I still remember crawling up this pass in a 460 Ford, or a 440 dodge or a 454 chevy with trailers.

:lol: When I was an apprentice my classroom work was in San Berdoo, so Cajon Pass was a necessary item.
Our program coordinator got a brand new first edition diesel Olds from Local 12 as a work car.
"The mileage is great, on flat ground. Cajon Pass is a second gear ordeal" he tells us. :lol:

That’s what a 5 - 8 mile long train? The 2mile long ones here run 3 engines, 2 up front and one in the middle

You can see it in the background, up the hill....see the red car? When we moved to San Bernardino in 1966, we took the train, and it went thru Cajon pass. Stopped running passenger trains thru there, too dangerous....REAL steep.....

Every flat occupiable space in Ca is cut off from the next by a mountain pass. Grapevine, Cajon, Baker Grade, Donner Pass, Tehachape, the list is long.
