Today at work

[Larel]

Washed the tractor and spreader tonight. Used my new press washer. I bought it A couple of weeks ago. We were in the borders in holiday and passed a JD dealer. The words the wife uttered before she could stop herself were, “That looks like a cheap pressure washer advertised there!” I didn’t need any more justification to pull up and go shopping.

But round the end of the cucumber frame, who should he meet but Mr McHALE!

My generator has been on its holidays for the last week. @Spud even took it to the village fete on Saturday. I hope he bought it an ice cream.

So day before yesterday, dad cleaned the combine down in the yard ready to move. We got moved and after the first tank full we noticed engine oil running down the side of the combine. so a quick check of oil level and a mad dash 3 miles home.

Turns out crank shaft seal has gone so spent all yesterday up a step ladder in alsorts of contorted angles removing the whole power train, bell housing and flywheel.

It's a good job we did strip it because the coupling splines wouldn't have gone much longer, new bits arrived this morning and if I didn't have to go off baling the old girl would be up and running again by tea time.

It's not to bad we've tackled worse jobs!
My missus reckons I look after machinery better than I look after her.

Nice easy day today for a change, had a look at my mates Sanderson this morning. The boom wouldn’t go in or out, found the valve had unscrewed it’s self.

I then a bit of a welding job on two wagon loading bays, where the ram was mounted underneath it had cracked up. Someone has had a few goes at it before.

The old man had finally decided to come home from Spain so had him putting grain into store as his punishment for going on holiday when the combines cutting
