I am just as bad as some on here in that I could fill a small book.
1) Working at first dealership, farming at night and still doing my own repair work. So very little sleep and loads of stress. I did an in frame overhaul of a neighbors tractor. I put one of the rod bearings in back wards. So no oil to the crank journal. Cost me a casket set, set of rod bearings and a new crankshaft.
2) Bought a JD 5010 to resale. It needed an engine overhaul. While I was overhauling it I also installed a M&W turbo kit. When I blocked off the ventilator pump I decided to remove all of it from the block. Including the drive gear and shaft. This leaves an open oil port in the circuit with the number one main bearing. I noticed that the oil pressure would drop off after it warmed up but still was within spec. After a few hours running it spun the number one main bearing an ruined the crankshaft and block. While I was assembling the "new" used block I figured out what I had done. Just plugged the oil port and everything worked great.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
