-40F = -40C which = FC which = F'n Cold!
Well 40 below is 40 below no matter C or F and 40 above is ruffly 100F or f ing hot or f ing cold
Yeah, and so is an oven, but i sure don't want to crawl in it when it's on..........Well at least it's a "dry heat". LOL
Yes but they are layman’s terms used when wiping sweat from brow or sticking fingers in arm pits to try and warm them up"ruffly 100F or f ing hot or f ing cold" Are those meteorological terms???
Well metric came to Canada in 1976 a year before I bought my Dart.I had to translate that as I don't speak "C" LOL
So............................................................why do they call it "Death Valley"????

Learned that from Yamaha snowmobiles there is metric fine thread metric course and metric yamaha if you need a bolt for your Yamaha go see a dealer. I always thought bearings where made to specific diamentions ie. a 6205 was a 6205 no matter what language u spoke NOT TRUE measure them try get a metric bearing on an imperial shaft. Leads to the question WTFThere are some things I'd just as soon "stay." People think metric is so "standard." Well some of it "ain't." The Japanese products have their favorite thread pitches, the French have theirs and if you try and stock a few bolts that just doesn't work
Pipe/ tube fittings. There IS NO standardization that I can see.
And at my age I'd still just as soon "think" in terms of miles, mph, mpg and not buy "leetrees" of anything.
Thanks. NO pictures, please.102 down here in the LC valley. I spent some time on the south fork Clearwater fly fishing and skinny dipping.
I second the motion!!!Thanks. NO pictures, please.

Polaris snowmobile USA. Yamaha japan 6205 bearing no fit from one to other same number different measurements. Thousands of in. BUT.Actually there are some. We used to have a lot of trouble with this, I don't remember the numbers, but you take something like a 1/2/ 5/8 etc saw arbor, will likely have a metric OD bearing with a standard metric number BUT THE BORE HAS BEEN HONED to fractional. The modified number is then "inked" onto the outer race WHERE IT WILL WEAR OFF
So people would come in, buy a bearing by the number stamped on the shields, and then ruin it or the shaft trying to drive it onto the U.S. shaft
Pipe threads have been standardized for over 70 years and longer. Buy a 3/4'' NPT today and it will screw into a 3/4'' NPT fitting of yesteryear.
.
the number stamped into the side of the race is still valid for a 70 year old bearing. .
Speaking of model A ford this is my other toyPipe threads have been standardized for over 70 years and longer. Buy a 3/4'' NPT today and it will screw into a 3/4'' NPT fitting of yesteryear.
Same with nuts and bolts. Model A Fords used standard [inch] hardware in both coarse and fine threads. That's almost 100 years ago. Metric stuff is also standardized, like what you find in a hardware store. But some manufacturers chose a different 'standardized' pitch for their application. And good luck finding a replacement.
The old English cars used something called 'british whitworth' threads. Just stay away!
Ball bearings used in machinery and cars have been mostly metric since the 1940's and longer. Bearings used in old woodworking tools and lawnmowers are usually 'inch bearings' [both ID and OD are finish ground to a specification]. It wouldn't surprise me that Sears or Montgomery Ward would use a combination bearing. In most cases, the number stamped into the side of the race is still valid for a 70 year old bearing. With a set of dial calipers and a conversion chart, you can be a hero.
