    I certainly wasn't going to work any harder than I had to.

    Eng Pro Guide Exam 1 (Batteries)

    No worries.  I should have added that, for vented lead acid cells, you can find correction factors for temperature vs. battery capacity in IEEE Standard 485 (Sizing) and 450 (Maintenance and Testing).

    Eng Pro Guide Exam 1 (Batteries)

    Any battery is an electro-chemical device.  Increasing temperature tends to increase the energy released by the chemical reaction.  As an every-day example, it's why your car battery may work just fine on a 70 degree day and not be able to start the car when it's 30 outside.

    I'm going to pass this year.  I may have time to watch maybe one game this year if I'm lucky.

    And I thought I took a step forward in technology when I converted the old tractor from its original canister filter to a spin-on.

    Sorry to hear it, Ble.  It's never an easy thing.

    I've had a couple that I had to drive a screwdriver through to get enough torque to turn them.  Not really a viable option for a canister type though.

    He has a really nice set-up.  He may have to relocate for work and he wants me to buy the place.  My problem is that my next move will be South.  I want to build something similar somewhere warmer and a little more tax-payer friendly than IL.

    ^Looks like an interesting little beast.  The only foreign tractor I have messed with is my BIL’s Kubota.

    Well, it's re-assembled, leak-free for likely the first time since around 1972, and back home.  Pictures with the sun shining on it Saturday: And I'm starting to line up the next project: 1991 MR2 Turbo.  I took delivery of this car in May of 1990. I hauled it up to the shop Saturday...

    If/Countif nested question

    Nice!

    If/Countif nested question

    The problem is that you have to have two "if/Then" arguments running in parallel.  Pretty easy to do in programming space, not so much in a formula.

    If/Countif nested question

    Ok.  The error you are getting is being caused by asking for the 9th largest number in a list of 8 numbers or less.  I don't know of an elegant way to get-r-done using only formulas.
  16. Flyer_PE

    If/Countif nested question

    2 questions: 1.  Are you sure the cell is blank/null and doesn't have a space hiding in it? 2.  Do you actually have nine numbers in the range for it to add?  (If you ask for the 9th largest number and there are only 8 numbers in the range, you will get '#NUM!')

    If/Countif nested question

    Try this: =IF(COUNTIF(H4:R4,">0")>4,"Yes","No")

    ^That engine looks awesome. I didn't fare much better this weekend.  Getting the front and rear pan seals into place isn't all that easy with the engine upside down on a stand.  It's a real PITA when it's upright and bolted to the rest of the tractor.  Ruined one of the seals in the attempt so...

    I NEVER do anything under a car that's being held up by hydraulics alone.  It's one of those things that was drilled into me at a very young age.

    The only one I had go bad was a seal issue and it was bleeding fluid all over the floor.  It's not uncommon to have to add a little every so often.  As long as it's not leaving a puddle, I'd add fluid and keep using it.
