Don't you just hate it when you find that someone has done a "hack" repair job on a tractor, and now you need to fix it.. and fix it right!! I am working on an old bobcat and have found that the hydralics are leaking in a frame cross member, to access the frame so that I can weld the leak, I have to remove a metal plate that OUGHT TO BE BOLTED to the frame, well, one bolt was there, someone had once removed the plate and rather than bolt it as it should have been...they welded the plate to the frame!! I spent two hour with a chisel cutting the welds, as I could not get a grinder into the very small tight area to cut the welds...Why don't people just fix thing right. My brother does the same thing, " oh...just weld it back together..why bother drilling holes and doing it right!!" What hack jobs have you found??
