What is it with breakdowns this year? Is anyone else having one of those years? There's been one day in the last two weeks something hasn't had a complete and total meltdown. Let's see...
The fan speed adjuster motor on the combine went out on the first day of harvest.
The sprayer pump has been resealed twice (thank you atrazine) and just blew a hose today.
The slip clutch on the moco had to be adjusted and all of the springs evened. That's nice because Deere was the last one to touch it. So much for adjusting it to "specs". That usually means they won't be different lengths.
The disk needed a new disk on the end up front.
The idler pulley went out on the planting tractor and took the belt with it. It took 2 1/2 days for John Deere to get the right parts in.
The water pump went out on the 8430. That was another two days as they ordered in the wrong one only to find that the correct one was on the shelf.
One of the three foot bolts that hold the rear end together on the 8430 snapped. That got welded.
Today the fan belt on the 2000 Chevy broke.
I know I'm forgetting 14 or 15 things. I'm tired of playing mechanic. I'd like to farm at some point here!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
