Q & A

What was the issue with one of the furnaces for the shop?

One of the two furnaces for the shop was not working due to a failed igniter, which is a common issue that happens at least once a year per boiler.

How did they get the power washer outside to thaw out the frozen vent?

They drove the power washer outside on the slab, going wide open and committing right away to see if it could go on the ice without getting hung up or spun out.

What was the trick for removing the bearing with the seal still in?

The trick is to squirt hydraulic oil all over the track, which allows the bearing to slide right in even though the manual says to never put oil on the rubber.

Why did they need to change the product plumbing configuration on the tractor?

They needed to change the plumbing because the new planter they were getting would not be able to suck product out of the saddle tanks on the tractor tracks.

After 1400 hours, the oil in the axles was black instead of clear or gold, indicating it needed to be changed even though there was no record of it being changed before.

Why was taking the rubber tracks off so difficult?

The rubber tracks were very difficult to remove due to mud buildup behind them as well as lack of tension on the tracks.

What accessories were added to the tractor grill?

An LED light strip was installed under the hood for illumination. Red trim was also added around the grill.

What punctured the fertilizer bag?

Where are they planning to mount the hydraulic pump for the planter?

They are planning to mount the hydraulic pump powering the planter directly to the planter instead of the tractor so that the system stays together.

Why was the pry bar a candidate for the Wall of Shame?
