That one isn't bad, but you can get, for a few more dollars, one with a digital
readout. Easier to control since you can set it properly, and typically they

What type is the old Weller? If it's the pistol grip type with the

I also wouldn't be surprised if Tractor Supply is just slow to restock, I
suspect they make more profit per item on clothing than they do on oil.

Have any of you ever bought oil from a distributor before?
I need to change the transmission/differential oil on my '52 Farmall Super M.
It takes 13 gallons of 80w90 which, at $70/5 gallon pail is a little spendy.
