There is an interesting idea, a transparent line at the cooler checking for bubbles in the stream from the pump sucking air or cavitating when it starts making the buzzing noise.

You folks and your fancy malls. I have to force march my family to the mall and its uphill for 75 miles. Both ways. Or charter a ferry boat to another country.

I'd agree with you; when you have one, a spare, at the right price, is a gold mine.

Re: 1977 JD 450c Loader has no power in reverse

Sorry, the proper terminology from my service manual is Cushioned and Rapid shifts. I should know better than changing the jargon. For H -> L or L -> H, the shift is as rapid as possible.
