That's sexy right there.

The two most recent ones were
a: while loosening the torque converter bolts on Dad's old Z-71 (to do a heart transplant, tranny-in), I'm under it and have two box ends locked together to form a cheater. The bolt finally popped, quite quickly, and the bottom open end opened up my right eyebrow, only missing my eyeball by a bit. God looking out for fools and children is the reason I only had a bloody, black eye and plenty of sting.

b: Ate at Italian Garden a few days ago and had a really rich dish w/a metric crap-ton of dairy. Belly was gurgling the next day and I had a complete failure of the air/chit separator. Got to go home early after that one, but being salary, and it being past noon, didn't cost me anything beyond the wounded dignity... Never trust a fart.

That made me laugh out loud and swallow my snuff [emoji23]

I was only 16, but I knew just about everything in life. I was setting up a bike for the drags and had stripped it down to bare bones. I realized that the kick-starter would fit on the rear brake so I could use it as a brake lever from the leaning position. Looked and worked great!

I wanted to take a run down the street before the drags and my father told me to put the muffler on the bike before I pissed off the neighborhood. I put the muffler on and then took off down the street.

I only took it up to about 60-70 mph and then tried my trick brake set-up - except the freshly installed muffler wouldn't allow me to touch the brake - I was now a passenger. I couldn't make the turn at the end of the street and hit the island before the boulevard. I bounced off the grass and ended up half-way across the boulevard in between the traffic.

Other than grass stains on my T-shirt, I was unharmed - the worst part was pushing the bike back down the street in front of a half dozen friends who were laughing their asses off.

And me to. Laughing that is[emoji23]

Never touch the top of a coil while the engine is running......especially if the boot leaks electricity. Good way to wake yourself up. Did that once with a 65K volt coil. My fist knocked a dent in the truck's hood and I landed on my back.

This *s-word is hilarious. Can't believe I just found this thread[emoji23]

NO.

In reality though I have fixed the tire on a Kubota 60" zero turn, looked at a 350BT blower, figured out the coil was bad, ordered it. Also did a fuel system rebuild on a FS 250 R, and am currently troubleshooting a problem child Husqvarna 345, my tech at the other store couldn't get it right. Have an MTD push mower to look at yet and a 365 that needs bearings and seals plus a new piston, light day today.

I stopped at a farm for a delivery and the farmer drove past with a tractor and large round baler. He waved and said to meet him at the other farm. The baler hit a bump and a ball of twine popped out and was spooling out line behind him.

I took my Buck knife and thought I could cut it for him. Well, it caught me around the hand, arm, and neck and drug me down the driveway about 200 yds. I managed to hang on to my knife and got cut loose.

One of my biggest dumb-ass moves 30 yrs. ago.

You REALLY don't have to look at the carb passage that you're gonna
clean up with carb cleaner. DON'T press the spray can unless the two sides are NOT aiming at your face! Safety glasses?? Naahh. My eyes needed a good cleaning too!

Lol. That reminds me of a dumb ass move of mine. Pretty close to the same thing. Put nozzle in clogged passage...hoping to break plug loose...held away from face...depressed trigger...immediately realized there was a hole in the little spray tube, directed straight at my face.

How bout this.... I was doing a alignment on a semi on Monday. The steer axle tie rod tube was well stuck. No problem I get out the old fire ax and heat it up. Then I get me big 36" pipe wrench and bout 4" of pipe on it. I was barely getting it to move pulling on it so I switched to pulling down on it and pushing away only to have the pipe slip off the wrench. The wrench quickly smashed into me face square in the nose. Busting my nose giving me a nice bloody nose and 2 black eyes. After stopping the bleeding and having a smoke I won the battle and finished her ass.

Never let a rookie laborer run a fast sounding saw or specialty saw like trim saws on the ground. They try to look pro by trying to make a fast cut and run a chain in the dirt or pinch a saw and pull as hard as they can. There is a difference with guys who run saw daily vs a rookie wannabe. Makes me cringe and chit myself

Homeowner laid a blade spindle from a zero turn down on the parts counter next to me today, absolutely no center, no bearing, no races or even a lip, it was wallowed out oval shaped to with in 1-2" of the outer belt channel. The parts guys said "wow, what did that come off of"?
Homeowner replied "its off of my zero turn, it's a good one I bought at Lowes last fall, it is so smooth i didn't even feel the problem till the belt got tangled up in the blades".

I have no idea how they didn't start laughing at him.
