Comments Off on john deere moves the trailer

was a round about kind of day.

started out late and not feeling good. took a walk out and about and over the dam then back and ate.

back out and got the tractor. took the boom off and put the hitch on.

then to the field and had to move the trailer so took it to the parking area below the 14 wide.

then went down to the transport dollies. hooked up to one of them and dragged it sideways and backed it over a log.

got off and bill and I decided it was too short to go under the trailer and hook to both dollies so moved to another and backed over it. looked like it was long enough so got a nylon strap and after tripling it hooked around the log and up between the beam on each of the shelter halves. got some of the shelter mounting bolts and put them in the loop of the strapping until i couldn't get any more in.

then we each took two jack handles and started pumping. picked the log up with no problem. pulled it out and around to where we could get the other one backed over it.

unhooked and got the other one and pulled it out and around and after several trys got it backed over the other end of the log. did the same dance with some more strap and make the connection to the dolly and jacked it up.

moved the tractor to the other dolly again and started up the hill only to discover that the trailer was in the way of the only entry that was large enough to move the dollies up.

the case dozer is still in the drive so that was out not to mention that we couldn't make the turn with this 35+ foot long train.

So while thinking on it I decided to see if the john deere would crank. haven't tried it since we unloaded it and I worked it a while and then shut it off and put water in it only to find it coming out the dipstick hole. we drained it the other day and it has had the plug out till today so hopefully all the stuff is out. got the battery and ether. fired ether in the intake and turned it over and it cranked on the 3rd or 4th turn over.

cut it off and put the oil plug in and filled it with oil. no water this time. more ether and started again. and again and again and again. then it caught and ran. rather well.

backed right out like it was ready to work. around the trailer and up the hill.

pushed limbs and crap out of the way and made a road to come around the bottleneck.

got to the front and used a aluminum light track to move the trailer trailer tongue up to where the hitch on the dozer was. which finished breaking the weld I broke the other day using the dozer and chain to unhook it.

hooked it up anyway and pulled which moved the trailer and finished tearing the tongue off.

got a chain and hooked around the center support on the axle and hooked to the dozer and started pulling. and moved it with no problems. got it as far as i could go and there it sits.

will go out in the morning and either use the chain and tongue and do a 3 point thing with the axle or move the welder up here and weld the tongue back on. I started the break by running over it with the dozer the other day so guess i got fairly good service on the whole. tore the pipe more than breaking the welds for the most part. will try again.

took a walk and had to have a ride back. body is pissing me off.

got a ham in the oven now. been in there about 2.5 or so now. another hour and a half to go to check the core temp. in a bag with honey, pepper, basil and onion added. turning dark and nasty looking so should be good…

getting more of a handle on the cart. seeing more possibilities all the time. will try to get signed up with the pro membership soon. need the paypal gateway. several licenses actually. bob wants to change 2 of his customers over if we can. will have to take a look at kevins cart to see what i will have to do to make agora work like it.

got this one while paging through the days spam so at least its good for a chuckle…

A man, while playing on the front nine of a complicated golf course, became confused as to where he was on the course. Looking around, he saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her, explained his confusion and asked her if she knew what hole he was playing.

"I'm on the 7th hole," she replied, "and you are a hole behind me. So you must be on the 6th hole." He thanked her and went back to his golf.

On the back nine, the same thing happened and he approached her again with the same request. "I'm on number 14, and you're still a hole behind, so you must be on the 13th hole." Once again he thanked her and returned to his play.

He finished his round and went to the clubhouse where he saw the same lady sitting at the end of the bar. He asked the bartender if he knew the lady. The bartender said that she was a sales lady and played the course often.

He approached her and said, "Let me buy you a drink in appreciation for your help. I understand that you're in the sales profession. I'm in sales also. What do you sell?" "I'll tell you, but you're going to laugh," she replied. "No, I won't."

"Well, if you must know," she answered, "I work for Tampax." With that, he laughed so hard he almost fell off the bar stool. "See," she said. "I knew you'd laugh!"

"That's not what I'm laughing at," he replied, "I'm a salesman for Preparation H, so I'm still a hole behind you."
