Happens every time - old tractors

wjytexas · Apr 19, 2018

After the tractor ride Saturday my sediment bowl valve was leaking where it screws into the tank. I could have disconnected the right side panel to remove and reinstall the valve but since I had never fabricated a new battery holder to go on the rebuilt box I disconnected both sides and lifted the "hood". That's all. Now my rear light doesn't work. Also all new light and wiring. Obviously in fixing one thing I screwed up another. In French, Say la vie.

Michael has it right.

C'est la vie

c'est = it is
la vie = life

Yep. Just a Scots/Irishman raised among Czechs trying to sound edjukated. And yes, such is life with old tractors.

"Say la vie" is the Fringlish equivalent.

What you say is why I seldom have work done around the place. Bar none, every time I have somebody over to do something they break something else or do a half fast job of supposedly fixing what I paid them to do. So I do it myself or just live with it.
