California passes right-to-repair act guaranteeing seven years of parts for your phone::On September 12th, California passed SB 244 to its state Assembly, becoming the third state to pass a right-to-repair bill.
'51 truck and '63 tractor here - you’d be surprised! For the majority of standardized things (seals, bolts, bulbs, etc) it’s easy enough to find a cross reference table, and just order the part from napa or Grainger.

Ah, I see you beat me to it. Glad to see a fellow antique tractor enthusiast on lemmy. Here’s a pic of mine. Your turn!
Nice, that’s in great shape! Love the front loader, all I’ve got for hydraulics is the 3 point on the rear. I’ll snap a pic tomorrow and add it to this comment.
