"Hmmmmm...I shoulda caught that!"
Went to pick up the two gravity wagons I scored at the auction yesterday. My overly ambitious hope of squeezing both onto one load was pretty much not going to happen. Then I noticed that the large box with the nice JD gear that I have been slapping myself on the back about getting a steal on was two inches too wide to fit between the fenders of the trailer I brought. No problem, says I! Loaded the smaller, drive it one hour to the farm and drop it off. Leave the trailer there and drive back for the biggun planning to hook onto the bumper hitch and drag her home the back roads. Old fella who sold it to me said it was a great gear. Used it this Spring to haul home is seed. Turned out of his driveway and this thing like to shimmy itself to death. 5 mph was top speed. Narrow road, no where to turn around. Drove it 1/2 mile to the next cross street and did a u-turn. No one coming so I stopped to inspect. The angle iron and bolts that hold the box to the gear are half there, the other half are broken off. Not really a problem except it looks like the right rear wheel bearing is shot. So the gear lurches, the box rocks and bangs and the whole shee-bang is sitting down there at the auction site waiting on me to come down with a different trailer and pick it up. That'll be another half a day shot and it's my own darn fault! Like I said...

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
