JohnT, All my red-neck cost savings skills I learned while working with Bill Wilson. He's my mentor and hero. Or perhaps just my mentor and a good friend.
I opened my electrical box this morning to get something. Then I got to thinking about all the nit pickers and nay sayers. The connectors in my box are used in many applications and are exposed to the air. In some applications they are used and subjected to moisture, like on the terminals of an air conditioner compressor. Yes, some of them fail and I've replaced many, but that doesn't stop the people making AC's from using them.
So what's the big deal putting a tiny pin prick in the wire?
If I use these connectors in a wet situation, I'll coat the wires with no-crode, use the connector, then get my caulking gun out and cover it with 100% silicone. How many people use these connectors on their trailer wiring and do nothing?
As for buying a new car, I bought my first new car and truck after I retired. I've always done most of my car repairs, even rebuilt engines when they only lasted 100K. Had to have cylinders bored out to 40 over to clean them up.
BTW, I retired at 55 and loving it. Also bought 4 tractors after I retired.
Gave up motorcycles. Tractors are more fun. Nice chat. Hope to see you and my mentor later this year. Bill is cheap, I'm frugal. George

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
