Broke down twice today doing hay cutting

So I start cutting hay with my Farmall BA and had a bolt fall off or something and a cotter pin break. Stopped and fixed that and then it would not start back up. Gave up and fired up the Oliver 77 with the NH 460haybine. Ran it till just before time to catch the news. Did chores and then planted some Bamboo plants. Then fired up the 77 to finish cutting for the night. Had maybe 4 or 5 more passes to make to finish but that did not happen. The sickle bar pushing went bye bye on me. It was getting dark any how and was running with the lights on so said well maybe tomorrow. Hope to bale either Saturday or Sunday depending on how it dries. Maybe if I get lucky I'll finish cutting what is left if I can get one to the 2 machines fixed that is
 
Shoot right now in the hay filed there is a Oliver S88 and a 77 a WD45 an a AC C The Farmall BA and a D-17 All hooked up to some sort of hay equipment.
 
Drove by a neighbor the other day and he had a WD on a 14T JD baler. a 8N on a side delivery rake and another 8N on hay rack. Looked like the 50's.
 
Rich, I have always said that a successful farmer has one tractor for each piece of equipment.
Saves all that time of hooking up stuff.
