People have problems with things they own. With the
internet, one is expected to be able to fix one's own
stuff.
There are businesses which sell parts, and sometimes
associated with these businesses are sites where
woebegone
folks share their troubles with broken stuff, and someone
tries
to figure out what is wrong. Presumably clueless
folks with broken things stumble onto these sites and
wind up buying something.
I propose you might back into it: list a part and then
with it,
a list including all of the problems a bad part of that sort
might produce. If one of them is your problem, you
might
solve it by purchasing the part and replacing the old one.
One could have a similar site advertising prescription
drugs.

I say, I say, it makes too much sense.
Gonna strip some gears goin that fast son.
Need to back it off a touch. (+) |

Tindale ad absurdum icing always welcome, but that
is a very interesting idea: the taxonomy. How far can
one part substitute for another? |
|
| |
That said: I do not see the relevance of the
wobbegong. Bring me along? |
|

I foresee this becoming complicated. For instance, is the left rear indicator lamp cover of a Ford Pancreas more closely related to the right rear indicator lamp cover of a Ford Pancreas, or to the left rear indicator lamp cover of a Chrysler Syncitium? |

Then there's the conundrum of the Tesla Trophoblast, which branched off before the Model T... |

Wow. I used to work at an auto parts store and have wanted a similar list for diagnostic use for a long time. A brief description was written to post later at Halfbakery but I had not refined links or posted it yet. Here goes: |
|
| |
To aid in diagnosis of vehicle problems, from an existing database generate a list of the most commonly replaced parts on any make/model/year of vehicle (could apply to any machinery). |
|
| |
A parts supplier's sales and inventory database could easily create this list. "Consumer Reports" will tell you weak areas on a car but not specific part names or numbers[4] |
|
| |
A similar modern parts interchange database report is generated from existing information to create current parts crossover lists[1]. In the past, an expensive manually compiled paper tome was created[2]. |
|
| |
A modern, free, alternative example could be "Detailed description H/D applications at[3] " |
|
| |
With the parts interchange data list you can find that a possibly cheaper "1962-1967 Chevrolet 40, 50 & 60 Series Trucks With 327 (5.4) V8 Engines" water pump will also fit your "1964-1969 Massey-Ferguson, MH Combine Model 510 Self Propelled Gas 8.4 Liter V8 Engines," likely more expensive water pump if it were purchased directly from the Massey-Ferguson dealer, if they still stock it. |
|
| |
A person could probably make a few quid (I watch "Wheeler Dealers") by selling Chevy water pumps on eBay under the title of "Rare, Collectible, Hard to Find 1964-1969 Massey-Ferguson, MH Combine Model 510 Self Propelled Gas 8.4 Liter V8 water pump" |

What right-thinking person doesn't ? |
|
| |
Ahh ... well, maybe girls, but they don't count of course ... |
|
| |
Shall we say, "What right-thinking bloke doesn't ?" |
|
| |
At one point the second-largest database in the world is
the Ford parts
releasing system, after the US government. This effort
would fill up the cloud. |
