So our farm used to have a circle driveway, my mom wanted it put back in so I started on it last fall but didnt get it finished, so I worked on it a bit today. Personally I think its maybe starting to shape up, you might disagree with me and that's fine. I'd love to hear some feedback on it.
Then I decided to move some manure, and that's when things went a little bit wrong.
No I'm not stuck, but I heard a weird noise. So I shut of the skidsteer and looked around. Turns out the flywheel had ripped a hole in the battery. Dirt and manure had worked it's way in to where the battery sets while I was running the skidsteer, and pushed the battery against the flywheel. That's actually the 2nd time I've ripped a hole in a battery on that skidsteer. Unfortunately those batteries aren't super cheap, but I guess they aren't outrageously expensive.

So I need a new battery a new battery cable, a new solenoid and a new starter button (the starter button broke months before this accident) Oh well that's farming for ya I guess, coulda been worse.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
