Heehee... a neighbor (NOT very mechanically inclined) insisted on
using a "family" tractor (jointly owned by 2 or 3 others) to brushhog
a field around his place. As he was constantly going over boulders,
fence posts, etc., he kept shearing the pin in the driveshaft going
back to the cutter from the tractor PTO. Tired of changing out the
shearpin, he went to the hardware store, got grade 8's and went back
to work... for a little bit anyway.... BAM.... blew out the castings &
gears of the tranny and rear end. Then just left it sit for someone
else to fix.

Uh huh!

Exactly my point! g
