Reverse threads are common on center lock axles. Occasionally you will see race cars with red wheel nuts on one side and blue on the other denoting which is which.

It’s not complicated. Manufacturing is never coming back here. There’s no amount a shifting deckchairs that will change that fact.

Amazing isn’t it? The Germans failed at cold weather readiness while the Italians somehow nailed it.

Or adequate heating of any kind.

ADM isn’t really the job provider that they used to be (read: automation), but it was recently announced they’re opening a insect protein plant in the next year or two. Sort of a big deal.

I grew up in Decatur and can confirm that the Zexel wind tunnel was a huge deal when they built it in 1992. School field trips to the facility were commonplace and was a pretty impressive sight to behold. Being only 10 years old, the place seemed absolutely enormous.

Do you have one of these? Curious how this work with horizontally mounted filters. Does it somehow make a complete seal around the base?

I love the “first start” videos! Watching this Cat C9 being started in sub-zero temperatures is inexplicably soothing.

Truck flags at half-mast?

Thank you! I’ve been commenting on this site since 2009 and always wondered what it took to get out of the grays... turns out all I had to do was ask!

Despite being forever in the grays and never having my posts seen, I’m still going to comment on this anyhow...
