They should only have toy tools until they actually learn how to it fix something right.

Working on an 8N, no light option. Converted to one wire 12 volt by PO. Wiring is messed up. Not only that but the wire to the alternator is a 16 gauge wire when it should be more like a 12 or 10. The left brake backing plate and the bearing retainer were assembled in the wrong order too.

Oh well, just another day messing with old tractors. Sure beats sitting at a desk.

Years ago when I moonlighted at LaFrancis and Chamberland in Rutland , you shud have seen the messes people brought for us to repair. magnetos, Carbs, generators. A large 24 volt Leesenaville alternator arrived in a bushel basket that someone at the marble company took apart. This one was not an easy repair!! They were billed accordingly.Each customer that came in with a repair thought they were an expert in whatever they came in with . Unbelievable the stories they would tell you.
 
When your done with that one I've got 6 more for you to start on :) Glad to hear your getting around better and getting some work done. How's the knee doing

It hurts some but it's manageable. I cheat, I use the backhoe to break the beads.
