On a roll around here . I guess the Yellow jacket stings while working on the Sabbath wasn't enough. My kid was driving the tractor as we were pruning apple trees. There was a sudden shout and he was running around the tractor all in a dither. A vengeful tree branch caught a valve stem breaking it off and allowing the liquid ballast to spray out of the tire. Told the kid that maybe he should not be panicking and drive up to the shop before the tire goes flat. He did but not before driving into a rock that I had previously warned him about.
Got to the shop and the floor jack was still under the other kids pulling tractor even through I had told him 3 times to put the d*mmed tires back on. Instead of starting several jobs and only getting some of them 1/2 done. Pulled the floor jack out anyways and let his tractor land on the floor. Put the jack under the leaking tractor before the tube became pinched.
Most of the inner stem is broken off but I was able to make about five good 1/8" pipe threads inside the remainder. Threaded in a spare outer stem and inflated for an over night leak test.

Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
