Tried the other and it fit just fine, so I swapped the wires over to that. Luckily with this lil tool I could get the wires to release easily.
Maybe ignition switch and neutral safety switch tomorrow.

Lol, Golden years my butt. Getting old ain't for wimps😁 I get irritated when some of these old farmer guys around here, 80s-90s, still throwing iron around and moving like a 30yr old. Mean while i shuffle worse than O'Biden😄

It sucks for sure and it's easy to say that, unfortunately it's part of life, but that doesn't make it better or easier. I'm also starting to have hand issues and other stuff too. I didn't realize getting older was going to be a challenge. Hang in there and slap reality back

Spring finally hit here, so I hooked up the trailer and went out to the Pony express trail in search of the wild horse herd . Camping at Simpson Springs. All I found was 3 horses scattered across the valley range. Stars were spectacular though. Helped a guy broken down but his was a catastrophic trans issue. Missing dipstick.
He had a ride coming and eventually a tow truck showed up before dark.
This weekend is yard work. Hopefully back to the car next week.

Sixball, my hands started with pain in the knucles. Then hot slight swelling when used alot. Before long i couldn't lay them flat on table, next was not being able to open all the way, and they started turning out. Running hot water over them in the morning helps a bit.
If you can't lay your hand flat on a table, you might have Dupuytures contracture. There is non surgicle and surgery to help correct that.
