A finishing mower set to cut at a height of 3" will not mow over the top of a partially full 2 gallon jug of engine oil. It will cut it up and throw oil all over the lawn. I don't know if this is due to CRS or an acute case of the Dumb Ass but don't set anything on the steering box in front of the radiator, check some other things, and then back out of the barn and start mowing. Again; don't ask me how I know this!

Do not turn on the oven then answer the doorbell and go back and light a match close to the oven...you CAN ask me how I know, but that was 30 years ago and my facial hair has grown back. I figgure my glasses saved my eyeballs.

Floyd, now that brings back (painful) memories. I did almost the same thing. Set the old oven to preheat. Lit the pilot and went to take a shower. Seems the flame did not go down the little tube as it should. I came back and opened the oven door. Now the flame goes down the tube. There were two explosions. One when the oven went off, and one when the right guard under my left arm went off. Had to call off my date, smelled like burning hair for weeks.

On the grimmer side, an old friend was carrying a empty 5 gal gas can on the back of the tractor brush hogging. The can fell off and got shredded by the mower. The resulting explosion threw the brush hog back on top of the tractor breaking the guys neck and setting the whole mess on fire.

Okay, so how many other guys have laid a grease gun on a tire, forgotten about it, and found it later flattened on the ground???????

I have replaced several side hoods on 7000 series tractors
for customers. They had taken the hood off and leaned it against the rear tractor tire and then..... The side hoods don't come out so good after you run them over. |

at our house it's the morning coffee. 1. throw out the old coffee & filter. 2. put in a new filter. 3. put new coffee in the filter. 4. empty the coffeepot. 5. fill with water. 6. pour water into the storage tank... 7. not onto the grounds. 8. replace the empty pot into the coffee maker. 9. press the start button.
an awful lot to remember before your first coffee in the morning. i believe we have now tried each and every variation individually and in combination of skipping one or more of the steps. some are messier than others.

We were heading across the Andes of Peru, and before departing we decided to check the cables on the electric winch on the old Bronco we were using. Some wires looked a bit rough, so got out a good Swiss army knige and did soem cleanup.
At that point, someone suggested a picture. Yep still got the picture of us and the knife, sitting on the bumper. |

When working on silo unloaders always account for all of your tools before you turn it on.
It is a pain in the rump when you need your 3/4" wrench to take the silo unloader blower appart and it is jammed in it.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

Hired hands on our farm (My older brothers friends)had a bad habit of leaving the hayhook lying on the back tire of the tractor.Strange how the hayhook would not bounce out of the path of the tire when the tractor moved

Don't park an L2 with a 6 row corn head face the broad side of your WD while on a hill even if you have locked the brakes and even if it's only about 4 feet between the tractor and combine. It results in two extra holes in one rear tractor tire, a bent and broken corn snout and a tractor sitting at about a 40 degree angle. Don't ask me how I know this.

Wow, you just brought back a funny memory for me....
At about 8 years of age, I decided riding an old lawn mower around the yard, was the cool thing to do.
Welp, one day dad told me, better check the oil in that mower.
So I did.
Check the oil, with the ENGINE RUNNING...........
Black oil everywhere, down my shirt, pants, hat.....all over the engine.
Got my first lesson in checking oil that day, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!!
And ya, BTW....'Don't ask me how I know this'!!!

Another one. Just because you hear a strange dog barking at 10 PM outside your house doesn't mean you automatically grab the gun and step outside to fire one in the air. It could result in the sound of horse hooves gallopping, then the sound of steer hooves gallopping then the sound of fence wire stretching and then a midnight tour of the neighborhood. In that order. Don' ask me how I know this.

Don't bother trying to have someone who you think "must" know more than you do about something fix it,they never do.
Please don't ask me how I know.

Lonn, methinks you should have fired into the dog instead of into the air, then the dang dog would not have chased the horses & steers thru the fence! That is what happened, right??...Harvey

Don't leave your WD45 on a hill above your D17 with a 170 picker mounted on it. Narrow front of 45 can run over all three snouts and rear wheel stop in the row closest to hill. Don't ask how but was many years ago. Jim

Check the bucket before scooping load of corn into the feed grinder. You never know, you may have left a chain in it.

I've heard the hand lit gas ovens could be troublesome. I know my mom gave away an otherwise perfect combination gas and wood cook stove in 1947 because she got tired of growing new eyebrows and picking the oven door off the opposite wall of the kitchen. The rest of her life, she cooked with an electric range and was very happy.

I bet they mixed just fine. Probably the unmixing that had you perplexed.
