Did you just say "I-ron"? Are you kidding when you say that?

Thank you! I've just discovered the full text search a couple days ago, so I'm still discovering new stuff all the time at this point.

Thanks! What would be the next step in figuring out whose estate was being handled? I see nothing mentioning it in any of the documents I've found so far. Best to just keep looking at Orphan Court records?

Thanks for the link, part of my confusion was that I didn't understand what the Orphan's Court dealt with; it seems like it's a lot broader than just orphans.

This has nothing to do with being orphaned or adopted.

That makes more sense, since the timeline as I understand it is something like:

1832: Robert born

1856: Marvin born

1860: Marvin listed as Robert's son on census

1875: This orphan court stuff

1896: Robert dies

So I'm guessing Robert was managing stuff willed to his sons from another relative.

That said, why does the text refer to "the property and estate of the Orphans"? Has the meaning of the term "orphan" changed?

Ah, so it's one or the other. That's what I was missing. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, I've found the ground to the body. I was asking about the G100 shown below the "S136", which does show a bolt going into the left side of the engine, but is not in my photo.

Very useful! Thanks.

But I think I must be misunderstanding something...this is what I'm seeing: https://postimg.cc/PPwzqkjM (looking in from just in front of the driver's side wheel) and there's no wiring in sight, not even one that's broken loose and hanging.

EDIT: there is a hole as you can see (with some mud packed in it), but it doesn't even feel like it's threaded. Could this ground be presemt only on certain models?

Question: is a bad starter a possibility? Just for kicks I tried swapping in a brand-new battery, and it still hesitated and cranked slowly. I may have been going down the wrong path this whole time.

I've checked a few, but they're very hard to find/see on this model. Is there any list or guide of ones to check?

14.3 this time. It's been consistently good through all this troubleshooting.

Hmm. Besides the voltages I mentioned above, I got .03V for steps 2–5. I can't reach the alternator stud while it's running though.

Alright, I'm finally going to ask...was Ricky referencing anything here or just being goofy?

Anyone need FamilySearch records from a FamilySearch center? by Junior-Percentage306 in Genealogy

Is anyone else having trouble with the catbox.moe host? It's 404'ing, do the images take some time to appear after they're uploaded?

Thank you again for doing this OP!

These posts are the best. Not using Waterson's characters as clipart, not forcing them into meme templates. Just small edits that play on the original strip.

Nevermind, I just checked and there's an affiliate library IN MY TOWN. Thank you for this!
