Random News.

Hi guys,
  Yesterday, we all went over to our friends place to help them work their calves, as they had about 80 to do, and they are only two people, and to make things worse, he had hurt his rib earlier and, even though it didn't hurt right then, he didn't really want to make it hurt again...

  Today, Dad and Andrew worked on our JD 4020; Mom had a session this morning, and has another one later on; Cora just left for town; and I have been playing for a while, and started working on my school work again.... :(

  Andrew has recently bought a tablet computer, so he has been having some fun tinkering with that.  He is looking for a GPS app now, I guess.  I've played a few games on it, and from what I can see, it looks good, except for the fact that it's way too big for your pocket. :(

  I haven't found a place to buy Agricultural Simulator 2012 in the US, but I will keep looking and let you know if and when I find something...  Well, I hear that mom's client is hear now, so I will be heading off now, I guess.
  Talk to you all later, Jacob B.

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. ;-)
