Default Hey Karl! Is it still stuck in park?

Did you get "the kid" back on the road? What fixed it?

Or have you been driven over a few times?

It was the brake light fuse. burn this fuse and your vehicle won't come out
of park. I didn't know this. So far, I've made two trips. Looks like maybe
fifty more this summer with all the things I agreed to help. My CNC plasma
cutter probably won't get done again this year. Let alone the backhoe - I
tore it down in front of the house a week ago and haven't touched it sense.
Best re-title the place Townsend Salvage. i got piles of steel all over too.

My '69 Chevy comes out of park just fine (snicker).

Of course it smells like mouse pee when the heater is on and some
mornings it takes a while to actually go when I put it in drive, but we
all get slower and smellier as we get older.

Oh -- and I'm glad to hear you got off so easy.

Julie is very supportive of my purchases that are a good deal. Her
enthusiasm will diminish considerably if I don't get the mess cleaned up
quickly. Right now, I've got a twinge in my upper back. I'm giving it a few
more days rest.

Now, if I ever want approval on another tractor, I'd better let the extra
backhoe unit go. It wasn't a good idea to take the big hoe apart when I
didn't have time for a big job. She can't park her car in the house cause of
the broke down tractor.
