All stared a week ago tomorrow.
Back tire on my 335 had a wet spot on the rim. So I takes it off the tractor and head to the tire shop. Tell the guy to just put a new tube in and fill it with beet juice. He says it'll be ready Monday. I say cool. I went ahead and took the drum off to check the brakes and find they need changed too. I haven't spent a lot of money on this tractor in a while so I'm not mad. Come Monday morning at 8:00 I call the "NEW" local dealer and tell them I need these brake shoes. Parts person says we don't stock many parts for the older tractors but I can order them. Have them a week from Wednesday. Hung up and called Messicks. Ya we got'em and you'll have them Wednesday. I also ordered a power steering filter, o ring, and seal. Wednesday around mid afternoon FED EX drops them off. I open the box and find the filter,o ring ,seal, and 1 brake shoe. I ordered 2. In maybe 30 seconds I got Messicks on the phone . Parts guy says we should have caught that. Says I'll get it right out and we'll eat the shipping. FED EX tracking shows Saturday delivery.
I changed the filter today. I thought she was steering hard. Pulled the old filter and my dad had it was dated 1-86. Kinda had a moment seeing my dads hand righting. I think I felt a thump on the back of my head too for letting it go so long. He's been gone 18 years. Put everything back together and fired her up. Steers with one finger at idle.
Now here's what I cant' figure out. The filter came with a o ring and seal . $15.92 . I ordered a seal and o ring not knowing they came in the kit. The o ring was $13.29 and the seal was $13.29. They go back tomorrow. I recommend Messicks 100%. They can get it from Pennsylvania to Illinois in 3 days or less every time.
I never got upset or threw anything one time. Must be getting mellow in my old age. LOL

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
