Oh yeah, fix it but dont spend more than ten dollars,, heard that before
Tractor was still having starting issue where it would onlywork intermentially even with a new starter. It needs a new positive cable which is likely culprit but he dont want to spend the money and were trying cheap fixes first so i spent a bit 2 hrs fabricating a mount and installing a soleniod. Not prettybut its not a pretty tractor to begin with.

Slow week at work so got instructed to replace the entire brake assemblies on the shops trailer. Had to use the torch to cut the socket cap bolts holding them on they were crusty and not budging. Then drove to 5 different stores for replacements and final stop was fastenal who had enough to replace all the bolts with nyloc nuts... Finally finished it today.. Took about 8hrs with 3 of itdriving around

Well today was a half day only went in afterlunch do to dr appointment . had a uniloader come in with a hard start issue it cranks for about 40 to 50 seconds before it starts then runs fine and you can turn it off and start it right back uup so i troubleshot and found it was losing prime so theres a leak but it was packed full of mud so remove bottom plates and pressure wash it. Got it clean brought it in and had a coworker hand prime it while i checked lines found it squirting out of a hole that been rubbed but to reach it had to pull the radiator and fan shroud which is as far as i got before work ended.
