Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

I have a grease jerk on the JD FEL that is not getting the grease to the pivot point. I can get a tiny bit of grease to go into the jerk but then it stops. I got a nail and pushed the little ball on the end of the jerk and it did mash in and a little bit of grease under pressure came out. It almost seems like it's stopped up on the inside somewhere. Any ideas how to get grease into the pivot point?

Remove the grease zerk, then remove the dryed grease and spray some brake cleaner into it, reinstall the zerk and try again, repeat till it works.
You can try the hammer operated tools to clear a fitting they will work better if the zerk has ben removed and as much old grease removed as possible.

Good morning,
the temp is 14 and going to a high of 19°F. Wind NW 8 mph. Mainly cloudy. Snow tonight.

I am all ready for the snow, now the weatherman just has to co-operate.

I forgot to order oil on Friday, so will need to do that on Monday.

Today is another energy conservation day.


Have a safe day all

39 going to 48 and the sun returns after a couple of days of rains.

Driving home from Virginia Beach last night hit a rain front that looked on radar a lot like a summer storm, and had the downpour to match. Had a good visit with family - lots of little kids and babies and dogs...glad it was at my sister's house.

DABSGT, I bet that lasagna will be good.

You could try 'winter grease', it is thinner than the summer stuff.
I would suggest gentle heat, BUT we don't know for sure if there is any plastics in there that the heat will distort. Read that as a bigger can of worms.

Don ... this is the tool that Lou described.

I use Fluid Film in mine. I give a frozen zero a shot then leave it be for an hour or so then treat it again. Once it clears ... pump grease into the joint to clear the Fluid Film.

Waiting for first cup of coffee to cool enough to drink. Eating my first E Muffin from package. Have not had one in a long time. 31° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with chance of snow flurries. Got shelf measured out to fit around electrical and water lines. Took it out to shop and found I have not been follow my rules of project is never done until everything is put away and area cleaned. Took a couple of hours to get that done.Still need to move Christmas Tree to storage area.
Also reorganized room where exercise bike is. I can now do my exercises without sun cooking me. But can still see garden pond. Today may be a conserve energy day. Shelf can wait.

Looking, not sure about your area. Looks like I may get some snow next Saturday. Tractor has not had to do any snow plow since November when we got 10".

Drew, I always use charcoal lighter to get a fire going. May add oil and diesel if pile is big.

Buckeye, Goulash looks good.

DABSGT, second day lasagna is the best. Lets the sauce soak in too cheese.

Prayers and best wishes to everyone.

Good Morning All.

Good morning. Our little run of almost dry and above freezing weather has one more day to go. A good time to catch up on a few garden tidying jobs.

Don, Whipper's coat reminds me of one of those K-Tel miracle brushes. Try asking her to roll in the other direction

27 right now...high in the mid-20's today.
Didn't get enough snow to worry about yesterday. If I do anything, I'll use a broom to clear the dusting on the walks.

What a black dog looks like after a roll in the grass, and then asks to come inside. She is imitating a magnet.
