I can keep this tractor related, even! When I was very young, I loved the smell of gasoline and I would step up on the plow drawbar of my Dad's Allis B, take the cap off the gas tank and smell the fumes. I swear gasoline does not smell as good nowadays as it did even 30 years ago. Fortunately, I didn't take but a whiff each time so it left no l l l last t t ting damage! At about the same time (I was about 8 or 9) we had some neighbors who had a whole passel of kids, all except one of whom walked to the same one-room schoolhouse that I attended. The older teen-age girl rode the bus to the central school. I didn't see her very often but every time I did she would try to grab me and kiss me. She always had on the same cheap perfume and to this day every once in a while a woman (usually an older lady) will walk by and I will get a whiff of that cheap perfume and be transported back in time. In the early years of humanity, smell was extremely important to us just as it remains so today in the animal world. More on cheap perfume. When we were cleaning up an old dump site at my M.I.L.s a few years ago we found a lot of collectible bottles including a very small clear class one that had the words "10 Cent Perfume" molded right into the glass. It probably dated back to the 20s or so and I'm not even sure 10 cent perfume was considered "cheap" at the time. LOL

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
