Good morning!!!!

Did you have to adjust them much?

I didn't measure them to check the clearance before I adjusted them ... but it sure didn't take much of a turn on the adjustment screw to put them back within spec ... mebbe an 1/8 of a turn at most ?

Were there any symptoms?

None that I noticed ... the tractor ran like a top ... plenty of power, not particularly noisy or anything, would always start right up (assuming a charged battery) ... even in very cold weather. I did finally get around to installing the block heater a couple of years ago, just to make it easier on the tractor in the winter. I had had it sitting around for quite a few years and finally made myself just do it.

In warm weather it would start without even using the glow plugs (occasionally I'd forget) ... although it took a little more cranking before it would fire off.

If I wait for 2000 hours it would be another 10 years.

LOL ... yeah ... do yourself a favor and DON'T follow my example on that score ...

Got a visitor working over the Sparrow nest. Hope it does a good job.

Just checking the pool for critters and noticed it was colorful this morning. The moat ideal works good for animals as well as stray volleyballs.

And my triangle trees don't shed leaves.

Happy birthday PJ. Drew, what you see us all too often self inflicted, but sad none the less.
CWB, that's too cold for August!

My water level is way down, even with the 1/4" that fell yesterday, bright sun is evaporating it quickly, hopefully by Friday I'll be able to mow.

Going to be a long time for me. Just got 440 after 15 years.

68° and .26 inches rain.

Shelves are looking good. What a difference that 2nd coat of finish does for that plywood. This was a sheet from what I bought 10 years ago. Should get them mounted today and hopefully trimmed out with Ohia to match the existing shelves. Not a perfect match but enough to blend in.

Stopped in sears service store yesterday. One of the shelf clips in the freeze has broken so was hoping they could order it. Nope, only way is to order a complete slide assembly for almost $200. No way!!!! We have the extended warranty so made appointment for them to fix. 8/24 is the date. So I remarked how wonderful since our mower appointment was for 9/12, made 2 weeks ago. Able to change mower appointment to 8/15, tomorrow. Wife happy.

Be safe
Have a great day

I hate to see Sears go, but they're dead, they just haven't fallen over yet. They were the symbol of a prosperous American retail system.

You may very well be right, but I hope not. I just renewed my warranty/service policy on our old washer & dryer & window unit A/C. We also have one on a refrigerator and a cookstove.

I hope I'm wrong.
