- Cat D3, Deere 110 TLB, Kubota BX23 and L3800 and RTV900 with restored 1948 Deere M, 1949 Farmall Cub, 1953 Ford Jubliee and 1957 Ford 740 Row Crop, Craftsman Mower, Deere 350C Dozer 50 assorted vehicles from 1905 to 2006
My shop was built in 1959... and the home I lived in before is 1922 with a single 30 amp fuse for the main...
Much changes over the years but seldom is original, unmolested work required to be changed.
I've worked on factory floors with concrete floors and huge loading docks... all from the 70's and early 80's and not a GFCI to be found.
At one time I helped with critical home medical devices and there were numerous cautions NOT to use a GFCI circuit... instead a dedicated circuit with a single 20amp grounded receptacle of hospital grade required and again numerous cautions about NOT being on a GFCI...
About a 20% of my outlets are 220V... and some require a 3 phase convertor.
