My local parts store has a sign up that says. If you want to guess at the make model and year we will be glad to guess at the parts.

This is sad but true. I grew up on a farm and I now realize there are many things one learns on a farm that are not taught in any school. I am a biologist and work with many people that are considered to be very intelligent. When I was in graduate school, my mentor was one of the smartest people in the world when it comes to molecular biology and biochemistry, but could not figure out which way to turn a screw to tighten it. Needless to say, I got to repair all the lab equipment.

That was a lot of good equipment damaged.

Same here with knowing how to turn a screw. An instructor was lost when it came to assembling shelving units so I volunteered, that whole year I got straight A's.

Looking at the Pics on the other web site made me feel better about getting my tractor stuck last year this time. I had to take a goodlook at one of the pics with the smaller JD tractor to make sure it wasn't mine.

Haha. Thats good stuff.

But while we are on the subject, can anyone help me find some new muffler bearings for my Craftsman riding lawn mower?

 

[ScottAR]

There on isle 6 in between the stripe-ed paint and the blinker fluid. And the 710 cap
for that mower is on down near the end.

And for the record, Yes I meet these people every !%^#^%*&)(&* day....

I am a counterman. I'm looking for a new job shoveling poop....

It doesn't only happen at tractor shops. I had a customer bring a window fan in to my air conditioning shop and complain that it wasn't cooling. The box from Wal Mart said "room cooler" on it.

Even after I explained the "facts" to him, he left in a huff figuring that I was lying and just didn't know how to fix it.

Not to take anything away from "farm mechanics" but they can't hold a candle to the guys that have to keep commercial fishing boats running (in their element)...IMO of course...

Imagine making a repair to an engine or a hydraulic system with only the parts/tools/supplies you have on hand...a few hundred miles from terra firma (let alone a dealer or parts house) often in very uncomfortable conditions...

I am shopping for my first tractor...I've never laid a hand on a tractor or farm implement...but I bet there is not one thing on one that I can't fix or repair...

Yes, but can you do it with only duct tape and bailing wire?

It's possible, I can't put on wiper blades unless it's raining...

aamof (as a matter of fact)

I once made a temporary generator mount by cutting pieces of duct tape and stacking them up to about 2-3/4" and bored a hole in the stack....it held for a 13 hour run "back to the barn"

Sounds like your all set then, go get your tractor.

You should by a Power-Trac. Your level of expertise will pay off handsomely

Hysterical! And sad to say I do know people like that!
