Thanks Charlie. I have read extensively about the Pacific war but of course don't remember everything. Some things stand out though and kinda become your favorites. I follow a couple of this day in history sites and if there's an entry for something I like or remember well I'll try to write about it here. I always liked the USS England and read not only about her but of the subs she killed and the captains and crews who manned those subs. What life was like serving on them, etc. For example: our submariners had the highest casuality rate of all the US armed forces in WWII. About 20% of those who served were lost. Compare that to the Japanese sub service where more like 75% were lost and you wonder how they could stand to serve. Btw, worse yet were the Uboats where more than 80% of their crews were lost. Amazing. Anyway, I like to read and I enjoy writing these little vignettes about the war so as long as I get positive replies to them I'll continue. By the way, the 75th anniversary of the battle of Midway is just around the corner so maybe I'll try to come up with something that wasn't on the history channel already.

All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
