Fixing the tractor with an axe

Ultradog MN · Jul 7, 2017

So I had grabbed whatever tool was at hand and was scraping an old gasket off the timing cover when my pal Kenny stopped by.
He took one look at what I was doing and started to laugh and said "Boy I've never seen anyone rebuild an engine with an axe before."
I told him it is a hatchet.
He said "Yeah, a hatchet job for sure. Do those guys on the forums know what a hack mechanic you are?. Here, let me have your phone so I can get a picture for evidence."
I'm not sure what I'll do yet but there Will be retribution

OK wise guy, let me see you pry out the old front seal with your axe....er, I mean hatchet.

Howdy Ultradog,

From my viewpoint, there's no doubt about your mechanical abilities. I see three skinned knuckles in the photo. If you don't draw blood, you are not "into" the job!

I have couple files that have been made into gasket scrapers.

Ya gotta love the banter between pals.
It sure would have been funny looking just walking up on the process!

From the title I expected to find you liberating some relic from a growing tree.

Hey Bern,
Rest assured, I have the tools for that job too.

Hahaha.
If ya can't fix it, get a bigger hammer.

Is that the one Geo Washington used?

You need a fireman's axe with a hook on the opposite side to pull that seal.

I think you need a bigger hammer. Maybe a 16 pounder....
