Man,
Just got a call from my friend. His kid wanted to use the 450D today to haul in some fire wood. It's supposed to be chilly tonight.
No sweat, he has been using a little JD to haul wood but dad has a post hole digger on it.
I showed him how to start it last night and had him do it a couple of times. No problem...good kid, not reckless and all that.
Well...seems he got too close to a fence in the pasture and wound up a lot of wire and ripped out a few fence posts. Seems the tractor is a lot wider than the JD. I told him to cut off what he could and see if he can get it free and back to the barn lot. We can put it away when I get home tonight. If not...just leave it where it is and I will come help him after work.
Well, he got it free and tried to get it in the tool shed. He hung the axle on the door track where it rolls up and down. Now the door only comes part way down.
I told him (in a nice calm voice), to just leave it be and I will get it tonight. Guess I will go by Home Depot and get some door track on the way home. Sure hope he did not cut a tire...those are brand new.
His dad called to see if I was upset...I told him no, that's how kids learn. I reminded him of the stuff we tore up as kids when we were young.
Heck...his dad had to replace the tail lights on a Dodge pickup at lease 3 times because we did not watch what we were doing. My dad had to replace the cutter guards on a mower many times when I hit stumps. Even managed to bend the tongue on a four wheel hay wagon a few times. Dad just fixed it and said that's how a kid learns.
But, I have to admit...I did other things to do tonight...but what the heck.

Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
