Started off the day in a bad mood, yard needed mowing, I got no gas and at 55 degrees I have to mow with a coat on and that chaps my hide also. Got the gas cans filled, picked up a few other items, came home had to charge up a battery but finally got the yard mowed. Attempted to finish the day plowing the garden with the CA, battery down just enough had to get the start pac out for it. Backed up to the plow, hit the snap coupler first shot, lift arms won't go down, wiggled. jiggled, pushed, pulled, even got the uniloader out, hooked up the lift arms and then put down pressure on the plow with it to drop the arms. Fifteen minutes of lifting the front of the tractor off the ground before putting everything up, going to the house and wondering just how in the heck I quit drinking!! ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |

And Today it is SNOWING!! Shameless SHUT THAT DARNED THING OFF!! I had that kind of week last. Put that new to me GMC grain truck in the shed to finish some minor work, full tune up, all coolant hoses, check things over some, had a trans filter nd modulator to install. Well get modulator on go to change filter OIL goes Everywhere EXCEPT the drain pan, on my arms, exhaust, floor. Clean that up and move on. Take and start tune up, plug wire boot at far back right side stays half on, cooked to plug, cannot get anything in there to get it loose then fifteen minutes later it just kind of slips off. Whew, already sweating, get tune done, go for hoses, drain coolant, drain cock has no hose extension so deal with splash, runs on frame and across crossmember ALL over floor and I am using a cut off 55 gal plastic tub, cannot keep it under the streaming slick A-freeze, ALL over everything. Take hoses loose, hideout coolant manages to dribble EVERYWHERE under the hood, WHAT DID I DO to deserve this!!!? Get hoses on and go to change hard to ground coolant temp ga sensor, pull old one, get a 1/2" stream of a-fr still in head, like to not got new one started, again Coolant EVERYWHERE did Not want it. All back together and ga still reads High, start chasing wire, somewhere at back of engine is hard stuck like has been pinched to the engine and grounded. Refill coolant, check for leaks, test drive and parked it, Save for a BETTER week to finish!! |

It wasn't without a few glitches but got the upper garden plowed, took me a while to figure out where I'd stashed the drawbar. Poor old trip plow hadn't been moved in a while and if I'd been more ambitious I would have wire brushed the thing first but even as rusty as it was, it did a decent job. I DON'T NEED NO STINKING LIFT ARMS!!!  ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |
