My son came up from the garage smelling like gas, asked him what was going wrong. He had pulled the carb on his Honda 450 dirt bike because he thought the float was stuck but his jets were clogged so he cleaned them up and had it running. Pretty good for 14. Didn’t even come ask me for help but I guarantee you I got tools scattered everywhere. That’s his next lesson, clean up yo mess!!

Stacking Crossties for a New Backstop Recently. Should have dropped my New set of Disc’s first. Hung a Pine Tree and didn’t realize until I had uprooted it, and bent a Axle. Got it all Fixed back just in time for Planting. My Problem isn’t that I can’t Fix something. I just don’t want to. But I can FIX A DRINK. 😎

There is not much I won't tackle. I tore down a 289 yesterday that going to the machine shop today. Growing up when something broke, you just fixed it.

Changed out all the blades on my flail mower last weekend. That was a pain. My 98 Z-71 finally blew a head gasket at 299,454 miles so the engine is coming out for a rebuild soon.

Impressive! I've been a part of many tractor tear downs and rebuilds, but would take me a year to get one back together by myself. We had an IH 5488 torn down, for knocking, that stayed in pieces all over the shop for about 3 months. Finally got all the parts and head back from the machine shop to put it back together after we got finished with field work for lay-by. Some of our labor could hardly read or write, but knew exactly where every part went (and which bolt went in it) and had it back together in a week or so. Knowledge comes in more forms than book-smarts!
