Today was a disaster.
Lady called asking if Jonathan would spray her fields.
So, Jon goes to the barn to get the tractor, and the sprayer.
Back tire is flat.
Jon takes the air tank, makes a couple of trips, gets it up enough to get it to the air hose. Very slow leak.....usable.
He goes now to hook up the sprayer.
We can't find the connector from the battery to the sprayer. We look everywhere.
We go to the parts store, get alligator clips, and a plug....break out the soldering iron, and make a new one up.
Hook it up....sprayer won't run. Getting power....just won't run.
Take off the pump/motor. Tear it apart and find that the bearings are locked up tight. Seal leaked into the motor, sat full of liquid all winter, its fugged.
Order new pump/motor.
Get a call. My favorite Uncle passed away yesterday. Cancer.
Decide to use the tractor since its aired up, fueled up, and sitting there.
Hook up the bush hog.
Pin that locks the driveshaft to the pto is gone.....
Fixed that. Mowed down some fughin briars to relieve stresses.
How was your day?
