Shop projects...

Hi guys,
  Yesterday, we finally got our IH 1486 out of the shop!  We had taken the transmission all apart, and didn't find a bearing with pieces missing, so all that we can figure out is that a bearing had went out before, and they didn't get all of the pieces out. :(

 But the time was not wasted.  While we had it apart, we replaced some gears that had some pieces missing, and some bearings that were on their way out.  We also got some of the gages to work again, as none of them worked before. :S

  We also started working on our JD 4020 yesterday, after we got the 1486 done.  We took the aftermarket cab off, and drove it into the shop, so that we can work on the park lock.  Simply stated, you can put it in park, and it would roll down a hill, if not stopped!

  On Saturday and Sunday, our family will be going to camp!  It sounds like a lot of fun, with hockey, and all sorts of fun stuff to do!  By the way, I won't be getting that snowmobile I wrote about, as it got sold before I got to it. :-(

  Anyway, time to go again. Jacob B. ;-)

Hi Jacob,

Too bad you can't get the snowmobile. :(

Where did you hear of this camp?

You guys have been keeping busy!!! Good job on your IH 1486. By the way, how did your dirt bike project go? Did you ever finish that?

Hi Hristiyan,
we heard of the camp from the family that runs the event. I'm looking forward to a good game of hockey too!
My dirt bike is still in pieces, but i am just waiting for some parts to come...
Yes, the new Agricultural sim is very good. I have like 140 screenshots on my computer!
I hope you can come out here again this year, Jacob B. :)
