One of those days I wish I'd stayed in bed!!!

709 gyro mower needed new blades, & a new PTO shield. Let the local Deere dealer do the work. Blades came in wrong, & didn't have the correct shield in stock. Told them I would take the mower & use it till correct parts came in after another week. Mowed about 10 - 15 minutes, then saw what I thought was dust coming up the front of the cab of a JD 3055. Was mowing next to road; pulled out in the middle of the road, realized this so called dust was still coming up. Looked behind & no dust. Got out, & quickly realized I was spewing hydraulic fluid at an alarming rate. At least a gallon a minute. Put it in high gear, & ran to the barn 300 feet away. Shut it down fast, & threw a large piece of cardboard under the tractor. Even after 5 minutes it was still dripping a lot, & fluid everywhere on the right side. Battery box was full of it, Inside right tire covered,. & of course I couldn't find the leak. Its hidden up behind panels, & the cab. Steering seemed normal; doubt that's it. Brakes are separate, clutch is dry. Going to let Deere look at it; which wont be till at least Monday now. Had a lot more I planned on doing today, & lost interest in the rest.

I trusted this morning with a sack of feed and threw my back out , can barely stand up .

I had an order for liquid feed on a hill top location. Got stuck going up and coming down.Feeder tank had a hole in it. Big enough for me to put my hand through.I should have just stayed in bed.Still going to send the man a bill.
