So last week we traveled from Houston to Taos NM. Gas prices in Santa
Fe were $0.20-0.30/gal cheaper than in Houston, adjacent to which are
large gasoline refineries. Around Santa Fe I did not see many
refineries, but I might have missed them? Out in the middle of nowhere
gas was cheaper
Well they got pics finally, never could get a straight answer as to what
is wrong with it or anything.

800fps
to avoid supersonic airflow, but 600-700fps might be better in
practice.
With a 60 foot circumference, you could do ten rps (600 rpm) and still
have only a 600fps wing speed.
Aren't these bird choppers? I thought
Hi John,
You wrote:The factory head unit really isn't the actual radio, it

The good news is there should be planty of the cables for the speakers in
junk yards. IIRC, the speaker wires are routed as you suggested - from
speaker to fader to amp.
But not knowing how the DAPO butchered the wiring it may be difficult to
hook it up again. But the factory system sounds

I think we had snow more days in December than we didn't, 2 big storms back to
back. We got 3 Sunday and another 3 on the ground today with probably 3-5

You probably have a cold solder joint in the cruise amp. What we do is
remove the amp and resolder all the connections. Re-install and it usually
works fine. Jim Cathey on this list was doing this as a side business but I

We had a Kubota B7100 with a 750CC 3 cyl diesel, and later bought an L2500
with a 1220CC diesel (IIRC), also 3 cyl. They were good tractors in their
