    Who, if anybody, is going to Aberdeen this year?

    You say it is sold out every year and the last few years I have seen empty parking lot, I certainly hope this year is different. I am not spending the money for a motel this year for sure though.

    Who, if anybody, is going to Aberdeen this year?

    That may have sounded a bit too morbid, it is a cancer diagnosis but not a terminal one. But definitely one that makes me think about how much stuff I have around that I will never get around to.

    Who, if anybody, is going to Aberdeen this year?

    Well, I just got a diagnosis that tells me it is time to start unloading a bunch of my horded stuff. The problem is that it is too late to get it together for this show. And I am certainly NOT going to wholesale it to one of those vultures out there who will turn around and triple the price on...

    Who, if anybody, is going to Aberdeen this year?

    I think I am going to just do a day trip this year also. The show has gotten to the point where if rain is predicted or if the weather is cool then the lot is more empty than full. I am also no longer physically able to walk the entire show like I used to so when it is all spread out like that...

    Who, if anybody, is going to Aberdeen this year?

    There is two kinds of weather at Aberdeen, Cold and rainy and hot with lot clearing thunderstorms. Take your pick. We had one year in the high 30's and rain and one year in the high 90's, I don't think it rained that year. It is a strange time if the year in this area.

    Fuel storage and fuel transfer

    And as far as storage, long term storage of propane can cause headaches also since it is also a petroleum product. Propane degrades into a gooey mess in the lines and regulators after a couple years and that all has to be cleaned out and regulators replaced.

    Fuel storage and fuel transfer

    And something to think about with diesel fuel storage is that modern diesel fuel does not store anywhere near as long as it used to 20 years ago. Modern diesel is not a whole lot better than gasoline. I have had diesel go bad in a year and not run at all in the MEP and barely run in my tractor...

    Where to buy parts for MEP-002 and 003 gensets anymore

    Do you have a link for Ambac? All I find in a Google search is Ambac Assurance. I am mainly going to be looking for the timing buttons even though the last time I looked they were priced like they were made of gold!

    Where to buy parts for MEP-002 and 003 gensets anymore

    I am just getting back to the generators and I see Storeman has not been on in over a year. I hope that does not mean bad things.

    Where to buy parts for MEP-002 and 003 gensets anymore

    6 or 7 years ago I was looking to rebuild the injection system on one of my sets and I was talking to Storeman about getting some parts. Life git in the way and I never got it done but I want to get on it now that I am retired. I do not see Storeman on here anymore and his last posts were in...

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    I don't know what the field ranges are supposed to go for but think about it. They have got to be swamped with equipment that is not selling due to the high minimum bids. Maybe this is the beginning of prices starting to drop?

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    This is totally amazing! The transmission I looked at months ago and naturally did not sell at the exorbitant opening price came up again and was offed to me the following month, At the same crazy price. Well guess what? No offers again. And NOW...

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    That is just the standard spiel that they give for all pick ups. Basically it covers them if you show up in a Prius to pick up that milling machine, Not their problem. If you can't get it then you default. I have never seen anywhere that did not have a forklift to help load the larger items...

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    They don't learn! I was watching a transmission but the opening bid was 400.00! Not even close to worth it for surplus and I guess nobody else thought so either since nobody bid on it. Well I just get a notification, [The item you added to your Watch List are now in preview and ready for...
