It seems that the older I get the less I notice around me at times. How many times have you looked for a tool only to already have it right by you??? Had something in your hand an lay it down to get something else and can't find the original part/piece??? I laid a pair of glasses somewhere Saturday and can't find them today.
Here is one I just did this week. My middle son and I have been buy/selling/trading lawn mowers for years. We bought a bunch of them at a dealer close out auction last winter. For the last two weeks I have been watching the younger grandsons. I did not want to start any serious things while they where under foot. So I started to go through the lawn equipment we have bought but do not have ready for sale. Most of it just needs little things, tune ups, oil changes, etc.
One of the items was a just about new snow blower. It was the first in line physically. I had to move it to get to everything else. It should have just needed a tune up and be good to go. I rolled it out and started the oil to drain. I noticed the auger had a small bend in it. I straightened it out easily. The auger/blower would not turn easy. So I tore into it deeper thinking there was a gear box/drive belt problem. It was real easy to get the complete blower off of the engine/transmission half, just 6 bolts. When I got it separated the blower spun free as a bird. What the HECK!!!!! There is a brake in the control linkage. When you release the handle the blower brake keeps it from coasting. So it was working like it should. I just did not even think about a brake making it turn hard. Since the auger had a small bend in it, my mind went right to damage from hitting something.
I guess that it needed cleaned out any way. LOL I did adjust and lube all the linkage. So I covered my tracks if any of the boys ask I can tell them I planned it that way. LMAO

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
