[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1686912, member: 7795"] What do I get for chuckling at you? … By the way, it was 80F at 7 AM this morning 😒…. Hooked to the cutter early this morning even though rain showers were in the forecast for today. Tractor had a half tank of fuel so I was going to top off after hooking up the cutter. As I was driving past the fuel tank I remembered…so I stop and back up, only about 15 ft. Get off and prepare for fueling, flip the switch, pump starts running but nothing comes out. Look at the filter and is bubbling air even though the tank is 80% full. I decide it’s no problem for now as I wasn’t going to cut much over 10 acres. I turn around after hanging the hose up and notice a tire under the cutter, which is now leaning and obvious something is bad wrong…..🤔. Deep breath of relief while discovering just a dry rotted tire run off the rim and not a broken axel. Went to town for a tire, didn’t have one so it’s tomorrow morning before the tire comes in. Pick up a new transfer pump while I’m in town, install it and fuel up the tractor… by now I’m soaked in sweat even though it’s cloudy and windy. Look at the time and it’s almost 1PM so I brake for lunch and a cool down. Check the stock market and it’s recovered Friday’s loss…hope it holds…did a little book work and decide to tackle putting the new alternator on the tractor I’ve been spraying with. Already had it off once and discovered the wire to the capacitor had corroded into. Put a new terminal on and reinstalled hoping that would do the trick…no such luck. Got it on, tractor cranked up and I set in the cab soaking up the cool air for a bit. I’ve soaked the second set of clothes today….sigh… Still to windy to spray so I decide to move the markers I use as guides when spraying. Look at the time and it’s 6PM… Lesson for the day….Don’t laugh at fence. 😎 BTW…market held, recovered Friday’s loss plus a little. 🤫 [/QUOTE]
