Hi Steve,
I'm a recently joined member, but have been a guest for a while.
Back in the old days I would have asked a friend, colleague, parent, wife, mother in law, anyone who I thought might know, if I was stuck. Friend couldn’t help? They would ask someone they thought might know, on my behalf. That person might ask another, if they did not know the answer, etc. Then there were libraries, and ultimately professional help, if it came to that.
Now help is just a keyboard away.
Fuel gauge on my 1988 Commodore sticking – google. Dishwasher has error code – google. Itchy rash? Flying lead change? New kelpie pup training? Weather for the next week? Etc.
I have a Fiat Allis 10-C, 1980 model, which I purchased in November 2017.
I typed “Fiat Allis 10-C problems” into google, and Heavy Equipment Forums was one of the responses. That’s how I found the HEF. Thanks for creating this forum, I enjoy it a lot.
