Since it appears that my wife has the virus, although they won't test to be sure, I can't go to work. So it's project time. Started with a couple projects that have been on the list a while by fixing my friend Jeff's trailer. The axles got bent so I replaced it with a new one.
Just torched off the u-bolts and used new.
The worst part of a job like this, greasing the bearings. You can get these axles now with sealed bearings, I highly recommend it. Sure wish someone would invent a good and clean way to do this job. I haven't found a way better than this yet.
All done with that job. Wasn't too bad, took a couple hours.
Next was to tackle the leaking loader cylinders on the dc.
First plan was to trade out those cylinders for another pair I have, but it turned out they are different. So then I took this one apart to see if I could get new seals. Turns out that end seal that leaked is adjustable by just tightening those 4 bolts. I had done that, but dirt and grime had filled the space and it couldn't tighten anymore. Once that was cleaned out it tightened right up and sealed up again. Can't believe I've poured as many gallons of oil in there and spread them about the yard because I didn't know how it worked. Oh well, it's fixed now and I know how to fix it if it leaks again. Lol. That and a good nap took care of the first day of at least 10 before I can go back to work. Don't know what I'll do today, going to be a bit colder.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
