Expensive Lesson Learnt - Shoulda Known Better

[Spudland_Dave]

Glad you window is coming fairly fast. Til then, you have some great air conditioning

No Joke....heck even with the heat on full blast, the "air conditioning" is more powerful....never thought I'd need a jacket in that tractor

Ultimately, the true lesson is do what feels right...the whole time I did it It didnt feel right...for good reason apparently...I knew better, and felt the heebie-jeebies about it while doing it, but chose to listen to the manual....

Lesson learnt, case will be closed by next weekend hopefully, and I'll move on!

That's right. ''Always go wih your gut feeling.''
''If you think you shouldn't be doing it, your probably right.''
'' Almost nothing in this World money won't fix.''

OUCH! Painful. Hate those heart wrenching moments when all ain't quite right and then you are proven correct.

I will not even bother to post any of the amusing moments with glass and tractors. It is a hard enough to invision the process.

that sucks, i hate the basic directions you get these days.. Im pretty good at installing BOSS brand snow plows and spreaders on ford trucks... but im on my 4th one now in the last year so ive had practice, and it still is time consuming. Sucks, theyre so vague most times you have to be real smart in the noggin to follow along or know when to not follow a paragraph or whole page

Not only vague...but the parts supplied dont exactly match the parts described in the instructions...last night I figured I'd "prep" everything I could while waiting for my glass to arrive..took a look at the motor closely and 2 things....the instructions say to use the "8mm Self Tapping Cap Screws" and to install them & remove them prior to installing the motor.....took a look and I got no self tapping screws in the kit....look at the motor and ONE of the holes was tapped for the "normal" 8mm Flange Head Cap Screw supplied...I had to take out my trusty Tap set and tap the 2nd hole myself.
