In Reply to: Why not metric ??? posted by da.bees on June 24, 2015 at 20:17:02:
I prefer the english vs metric - it's just what I'm use to. Not intimidated or fearful of metric, but I don't think it should be mandated on the folks. The market should dictate metric - and I think that is happening. When we are working on the Honda car or Nissan truck, I tell the boys - 100% metric. When we are working on the old New Holland 68, english only tools. When it's a mix, it gets a little more dicy.
Funny story - don't know if anyone remembers Paul Harvey and his noon time commentaries. I LOVED those things! Back in the 70's when the big metric push was on in the US, Paul Harvey said in one of his commentaries that the US was the largest economy and we were the greatest country in the world and we didn't have to adopt the metric system if we didn't want to. My high school math teacher was talking up how great the metric system was and I raised my hand and told her what Paul Harvey had said. She promptly threw me out of the class room - LOL!!!!!

Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. 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
