Has the site been slow for anybody else? It seems to take a longer time for pages to load and going back a page takes forever!

It was totally out for a couple of hours earlier to-day.
It's been off and on slow over the last few days for me, figured it might be my CPU at first, but other sites weren't dong it.

Oh good, it's not me! 8) It's been a few days for me too. I noticed that other sites seemed ok, so I figured I'd ask. I thought it might be all the porn I watch, it takes a long time to load those fat chick videos ya know. ;)

It's been running slow for me too.

For the livestock guys, I just baled up some beautiful grass and got 310 off of 10+/- acres. Third cutting for this field. Baling in the dark isn't much fun :roll: There's a few guys rolling up stalks around here too. It's a good winter to be selling hay 8)

Good luck with that,they're all high as giraffe nuts. FWIW I like my autometer alright,was a pain to get it to read correct but after that its good.

I have an Autometer one that reads off the alternator,which I have no clue if it's any good or not.
One of these days I'll dig it out and hook it up.

Couple of guys on here have had "OEM" ones for $300, which is almost as insane as the guy trying to sell "NOS" ones for $500. :roll:

As one wise person on here has stated, after 20 years, these things are to the point that the electronics are losing their viabilty and causing inaccurate readings, even packed away in "NEW" condition, electronics still deteriorate at the same rate, used or not.
So, don't be surprised if one day you get in and there's a wisp of smoke and your tach either doesn't work, or reads off.
I know of 2 that did that and 1 guy on DTR has had to adjust his.

Really wish I wouldn't have sold the oem one I snatched for $75. However, I'm trying to find one with a white face and its not going well. I have a gasser tach I'd like to use, so I'll probably just buy the converter doohicky considering that will be my cheapest option.

Sorry Mark my post was alittle confusing. When I bought mine I paid 10 dollars for it and Someone else paid me $300 for it. So...they better hope it doesn't go up in smoke on them lol....

Rumble, there are some pullers around here that have a tach and the sensor reads off the damper bolts.
