Hiya Mr. Walker!

I have one heater fan to replace. The assembly is seized at the worn sintered metal bearings. A four seasons motor is here and a spare used resistor set an switch. Like to get the A/C working. I boomped the low pressure return at the compressor in like 2004 and ssssssss out comes the elderly refrigerant.

Ham handed hands were extra clumsy that day inside the 1991 engine bay. Sssssssssss!

The 1992 verdigris dark green-blue, now bald of that clear coat, so I give it a comb-over some days, has the factory motor also. Sounds like an old factory motor. Full speed is nearly new. Some GL4 gearbox oil can be great as it works with yellow metals in cintered bearings. Yet getting there ... Stuff is slicker than anything. Some Amsoil SuperShift that is Type F okay. Also use the Redline GL4 meant for our M47's and (later?) M46's works awesomely in electric motors. I'll replace the 1992 blower motor since it requires digging to the center of the earth.

I've had severed carpal tunnel syndrome since the 1980s? Playing percussion in highschool was a first clue, washing dishes in the hospitality did not help, and finally wrenchin' on 144s and 122's and early 240s in the mid 1980s really set it off. I understand.

I'm sorry you have to experience wrist reconstruction surgery. Hope the fix is pain free with in full articulation!

I've not seen Uncle Old Duke, er, rather seen his posts. My fault entirely. Yet I expect in summer time Old Duke is enjoying some Ripple, fresh FL-state seafood, hanging with his many pals. Maybe excursions on his fishing yacht, and some seafood bbq. As well as slow launch control in his 1992 240 Wagon with M47 II as other speed around him, and Old Duke replies with 4F's. Hope he checks the oil fill level on these leaky gear boxes at least annually. More Reline GL4, please!!Old Duke's most recent post is here at 29APR2021:

Else back to work. Another pharma / medical device thing in a sea of nonconformance / noncompliance. Yet not nearly as bad as most. Rather write and illustrate technically for the BPA, yet no Portland OR for me. Maybe eastern WA, but sheesh Spokane is hyperpriced.

Left the terrible and rotten Dogtown slumhole in St. Louis. Someplace outstate MO-state as a step to WY-state. Won't be hyperpriced Jackson Hole. Someplace along the Northern or Southern border in WY. Cheap, dry (low to no humidity), good tapwater. Practical unlike tourist trap MT-state, yet may go there.

Sorry to go on so. All residences and Patel No Tell Motels have fleas dropping through small ceiling holes. All people made.

Will I buy a 20-teens used Toyota with manual gearbox? Someday?

Happy Turdsday!
