wife came home and asked Why are you doing laundry? Wellll, there were the jeans that I got grease on from the lime spreader, and the sweatshirt with fiberglass insulation on it, and I had a little incident with our neighbors tank spreader today. The spreader had been sitting for four months with a half load of water in it, and didn't want to pump. So I put it inside for a few hours with the salamander on the tank, still wouldn't pump so I thought maybe the pump intake is plugged with bedding sand so I took it down the road, speeding up and slowing down to surge the sand out. -still wouldn't pump. So in the field with the Ford 8240 turning the pump at an idle, I took a look at the nozzle, pulling the deflector plate away. It was plugged with wood chips. so I started pulling pieces out with my pocket knife, and the pump slowly pushed the mass towards me. soon water [very brown water] was running out. So I let the deflector close against the nozzle, but the flow stopped!!! What can it be now ?! so I stepped back up and pulled on the deflector again and LAUNDRY TIME! works good now. have a good thanksgiving and If you have problems that are burdening you, God is waiting for you to ask him to help If it is in his will you will be amazed at how swift and effective the answer will be.

Replaced the hyd pump on the nieghbor's 10 wheel manure tanker truck. Got everything working and pulled one of the hyd levers to see if it worked and the gate opened up letting out about five gallons of liquid checken manure on the shop floor. I don't know how many of you have smelled liquid chicken manure, but it's about the most horrid smelling animal waste known to man. I couldn't get that smell out of the shop no matter how many times I washed the floor. Happy thanksgiving! Jim

Oh the joys of spreader mishaps. I wanted to see why the side gate wasnt opening ALL the way, so I had (help) slowly open the door, well , he opened it sooo slow, so I did the whirly motion with my finger (he was in the cab) so he would increase the flowand door would move a bit faster, well , he thought whirly motion meant rotation, not faster hydraulics, so he engaged the PTO. You know the rest of the story.
