Following The Cowman

Spent all darned day on this rascal, but pretty sure she is ready fer the field.

Replaced 32 teeth, checked every bearing in it, set the preload on the main drive bearing, greased it, changed the gearbox oil and adjusted the basket vertical.

She doesn't make a tick and is finally ready to rake hay, I'm thinkin'; so, she's headin' out to the farm in the morning. :>)

I didn't even call 'bout prices.

Saw that bad gear gizmo and just bailed clear out of that project. Darned axles were so wobbled out, the wheels didn't even stand straight up and down neither.

Allan

Even bad boys are just as good as they can be

I need a real nice 666 with a turboed 312. Does not have to be all painted and prettied up either.

I could be down there by 'bout noon if ya happen to know where one's at. :>)

I felt kinda bad about that darned John Deere; more like stupid, actually. I should have checked it out a little closer. Just couldn't imagine that a machine could be in that poor of shape.

But, we're ready to rock and roll now even tho between the two of 'em, I've got more than just a couple of bucks sunk in a silly hay rake.

Live and learn, I guess. :>(
