Okay. That's what you do with a racing team. You hire the best people you can in their area of expertise. That's why Ford also had Holman Moody, Kar Kraft, and some guy named Carroll Shelby...

You didn't read what I wrote previously, or if you did you didn't understand it. So, let's go over this again. "Ford is contributing electric motor technology, control software, and analytics for the teams." Here, let me help - ELECTRIC MOTOR TECHNOLOGY. Ford is doing the electrical motor...

Not quite true. The first car Ford raced at LeMans was based on the Lola MK6 GT and used the Ford 289 V8. Those cars were raced in 1964. After that, Ford designed the entire car. The chassis and motors were built by Holman Moody and the bodies were fabricated by Kar Kraft. Ford did the...

Ford is returning to F1 in 2026 with Red Bull Racing and Scudiera AlphaTauri racing teams. Ford won 10 Constructor's Championships, 13 driver's championships, and 174 Grand Prix races. Ford is contributing electric motor technology, control software, and analytics for the teams.

I'll illustrate one problem with Massey Ferguson. I have two John Deere dealers, one Kubota dealer, one New Holland dealer, and a Kioti dealer within 15 miles of my place. The nearest MF dealer is 280 miles away.

Sounds like you like to complain about the current target of interest. If it's that much of problem for you then be proactive and take corrective action. Sell it, and buy the product of your dreams where everything the manufacturer does is perfect. If you have a problem - that's fine, ask a...

I've used the Ingersoll Rand coelscing filter for about 30 years with my plasma cutter. They're available through Amazon for about $200. For manual plasma cutting it works fine as you're only using relatively short bursts of air. However, if you wanted to use it with a plasma table, the...

I don't know what you know and what you don't know - and you've provided zero information as to your use for the vehicle. You asked for a "review" of the Bronco, that's what you're getting. You stated you drive trucks in snow and tow with them. Since I'm not psychic, I gave you towing...

If towing in snow is your main use for 4x4, you'd be better off with a vehicle with a larger tow rating. From the picture it looks like you're set up to do that. The "tow package" in the Bronco consists of a 2-inch receiver and a 4/7 pin wiring harness prewire - you provide the brake...

Yes, I've had eight solid front axle 4x4s. Two of them had "death wobble" problems. It's not difficult to fix, but if you're going expressway speeds when it happens the first time - it certainly is an exciting ride until you slow down the vehicle.

I've owned a 1971, 1985, 1992, and a 2023 Bronco. I custom ordered a 2023 WildTrak with the Lux Package in late April 2023 and it was delivered in early September 2023. I paid MSRP. The 2023 is far better than the original 1971 Bronco and the other Broncos I've owned in many ways, including...

It means they see everything as the glass half-empty, don't like John Deere for personal reasons, and never miss a chance to say something negative...

One of the things to consider is how long you think you'll be welding. Is this for short-term use on a specific project or is the welder a tool you're going to use over a number of years? I started with a small welder in the mid-1980s and soon wished I had a more versatile and larger machine...

I have no idea what New York State and his local tax obligations are, but where I live, the write-offs would be one time, and then you'd be paying tax to the county on the equipment as assets. You would pay the county tax every year, and the depreciation would never reach zero, so there is a...

Find a civil engineer and get some help in meeting all of the local, state, and federal requirements. If you turn in a set of drawings with a PE stamp on the package that will go a long way toward making sure you don't have more problems. Professional engineers carry liability insurance and...
