Found one reference in a illustrated parts list. 6-32 thread by 3/8" long

Nice thing about the I Pass little blue box is you can put it in any vehicle. Couple months ago Dan with down to fib land on a score and just took mine down with him. Still had to pay about 4o in tolls but the tractor was FREE! Now they did away with the little blue box I been told and it's some kind of sticker on the wind shield.

July 17, 1955 Disneyland, Walt Disney’s metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy and futurism, opens. The $17 million theme park was built on 160 acres of former orange groves in Anaheim, California, and soon brought in staggering profits. Today, Disneyland hosts more than 18 million visitors a year, who spend close to $3 billion.

If you’re talking about the outer part or the lens screwed on it’s been a while if you go into your parts manual for the commando, you will see everything you need right down to what has everything together. We have a lot of manuals for us to use just take your time and find the one that fits your tractor.

Check this out. Pay By Plate - Illinois Tollway I set up a pay by plate account a while back when I went to the @stevasaurus pad in Elgin. It works well but you don't know for sure when you're getting your picture taken. I used it again when I took a tractor to Oak Creek, WI last summer. I relied on the phone to find the route with the least tolls. It will save you some and with auto-pay you won't get late charges. Their notifications work well and it was easy to keep tabs on it.

EZ Pass! And with it most tolls are reduced some. Nice to breeze right thru & not have to stop to pay or get tickets. Online account all tolls are itemized so its easy to recognize any possible errors. When I picked up the 702 in Chicago I spent more $$ on tolls than I did on fuel.

Car AC problem/symptom and question
Blaine replied to wh500special's topic in non tractor related discussion
I worked at a Ford dealership way back when there slogan was “Quality is Job One”. Apparently that has changed. -
Engine has bee swapped. Tractor appears to be late 60s/ early 70s like a Raider or Charger. Looks original. Obviously needs a clean up but has value. A LOT of value.

Very much appreciated. I'll talk to Trina about a list of wants/needs etc.

We got home Monday evening from the driving tour we took the family of the Finnish exchange student we hosted at the turn of the century. They were here for 2 weeks. We traveled just over 1800 miles with stops in Chicago (Art and Field museums), our lake house here in MI. to celebrate July 4, Dayton, Oh. for the Air Force Museum, Williamstown, Ky. for the Ark Encouter, Bowling Green, Ky. to show his family where he stayed with us, then back to Chicago. Yesterday was a down day. Today, we started picking up and getting ready for more guests we are expecting this weekend. Many loads for the washing machine with bedding and towels. While I was working on our travel trailer, the smoke alarm went off - courtesy of the smoke cloud from forest fires in Canada that has settled on us. Also got my new grease gun assembled and loaded up. When I went to grease the spindles on my 42" SD deck, I discovered I will need a flexible hose to grease the center and LH spindles.

When I think of Springers I think of short legged somewhat zealous, energetic & high strung bird dogs but some are fairly relaxed. Especially in their older years. Yours Don gives the impression of a larger mellow house springer. I'll have to do some reading on bench springers. I had a female Chesapeake once that got tangled up with the neighbor's springer. Result was a smaller single female chessispring?? Had the oily coat of a chessie and the body of a springer. Turned out to be a great dog. I eventually gave it to a OTR trucker that fell in love with it and was a great cab companion.

Recently replaced carburetor on my C-81. Also discovered I needed all new fuel line. Were a few issues w/carb, but finally got set nicely .Decided to replace ignition switch which was a doosey too. Part 130990 was part called for. Ordered off Amazon (mistake). Purchased thru Prime Line, though went thru dash nicely the threaded shaft would not sit correctly, shaft different at top of shaft. Where would someone find the correct switch, w/out trusting part # 103990?????? Also, used old switch + made all new conductors stranded. Runs very smooth! Any help appreciated!

First time to the BS I dropped coins in the proverbial basket. Tolls with no basket I had the attendant sticking his head out the window and count axles and really took it in the shorts. 2nd tie we borrowed @PeacemakerJack Ipass and the cost/hassle went away. Another toll road score we just ran the damn thing figured pay on line. Well they didn't post my plate and what i owed until AFTER the due date and took it in the shorts with a overdue charge. I took it up with the Ipass Nazis goons to no avail. After that I got my own which was rather painless. It's free but you give them plastic numbers and a amount to charge to it when tolls rack up and its paid automatically. Works pretty good and like Dan said good for the countries of IN, OH, PA and others. $369 to go both ways to the BS for us so we still take it without being kissed. Trick is to know the best routes with low tolls even if it takes a tad longer. Chi town yer on yer own or like Sylvia says one of the many reasons to stay the hell out. We gotta pay 30 just to go have breakfast with @stevasaurus.

Car AC problem/symptom and question
wh500special replied to wh500special's topic in non tractor related discussion
I didn’t ask for a ton of detail when I spoke with the shop, but what I remember he told me was that they initially ran the car and checked pressures. Was very high on high side with compressor running and very low on low side. And the pressure switch would then shut it down. I saw the same thing at home a while ago but it was much cooler and apparently it was a little less clogged at the time and was still circulating a little. It had gone to nothing since. He suspected either a bad valve ( which I asked him to go ahead and replace since it was cheapish) or something blocking flow in evaporator. talked to him later in day and they had cracked it open and took out old valve. I don’t remember what else. Indicated that they tried to blow compressed air through evaporator and not much was getting through and that some gunk and dye was coming out. They were going to tinker with it a bit and see what happened. later they called and asked if I needed the car back right away. I didn’t. They’d gotten stuff out of the evaporator thought it was probably still clogged at least somewhat and were going to let it hang on vacuum a few hours in the morning then put gas back in it. He didn’t seem optimistic, but they needed to close it up anyway so it didn’t hurt to try. next day they did a what they said, found it still didn’t work (no huge surprise but I was hoping…) and asked if I wanted to go further. I don’t. He said the book says it’s 6 hours to remove the dashboard and thought it probably takes every bit of that at least. I mentioned the dessicant filter rupturing and he said, “yep.” this is a great shop. Full confidence in just dropping off a car and having them do their thing. They mostly work on Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and VW but not exclusively. They spent a lot of extra time dinking around on my air conditioner and only charged me about $300. Plus the axle shaft job ftom one of those speed sensor rings that broke and lit the ABS lamp. I would have ignored it, but the pedal was pulsing on almost every stop so it needed to be done. Now I just wait for the other side to break. There are other takeaways here of course, but a notable one is that @adsm08 is our resident Ford go-to. A while back I recall him commenting about some weird split fuel sender issue on a Ford that had befuddled mechanics. Thanks for all the input! Steve -
Ok lets see those pets!

@WHX?? My dog is an English Springer Spaniel, there are basically two kinds. There’s bench bred, which is what my dog Lucy is and field bred. Field bred is obviously bred for field work. However I had a bench bred Springer named Wallace that was literally outstanding in the field.
