Sigh. Trying to get done planting here in wet Minnesota.
And so I spent a couple hours on Memorial Day taking a combine apart.
Momma cat moved her 2 kittens a couple days ago. Heard one yesterday mewing up a storm.
Well she had the kittens in the back of the F3 on the sieve. One was there, one the noises were coming from within the combine.
Tracked it down, somehow the critter got itself on top of the fan.
There is a small triangle of space with no access holes, no clearance, no way for anything to get there, hard shrouding pop riveted and spot welded in place around the top rear 1/3 of the fan.
And there were the kitty feet and tail. Couldn't see much else, tight area. No IDE how it got itself in there, there is no access.....
Worked 2 hours of my day taking the combine apart to find a way to it, had to bend a little metal in the end to squeeze it out. Never took a shoe out before, tried that first....
I'm sure it will catch distemper and die anyhow, but what do you do?
Today its raining, would have time today......
