By the end of that spring, I could do short blocks or swap transmissions

running the repaired machine.

Sadly, I can do a clutch replacement in a Ford tractor with the same speed.
I can even lay out all the wrenches I need in the correct order. No small
job, this involves splitting the tractor. Poorly designed PTO clutch in an
application that stresses the s#$t out of it. And I got four Ford tractors


I know the feeling. I'm getting really good at rebuilding a series of 165 - 460 GPM pumps
semi submerged. I really don't like plumbing that takes forklifts, chains and booms to
work on.

When you see something broken and grab *ALL* the tools you need from your box in one trip,
you have been working on it way too many times.
