Now, That Was Scary!!!

6pm and I've still got 40 acres to cover. Came to the end of the field and pulled the T/A back.

After gettin' that big joker whipped around and dropped in the ground again, I have no high T/A. Nothin'. Just stays in low range. Will not go into high fer love nor money.

Tried to think this problem thru as I know IH T/A's NEVER got out....... :>)

Crawled under the tractor and that pivot stud in behind the left battery that the linkage pivots on had fallen out.

Got 'er manually shifted into high and finished 40 acres just using the throttle and no T/A.

That kind of sucked, I'm tellin' ya.......... :>)

It felt even better when I found that shouldered anchor bolt lodged in the step mount and just riding along.

Didn't have a 1 1/8" wrench with me tho. :>(

I think it's natural instinct to think the worst no matter how positive a person is, when it comes to these tractors and equipment.

Yesterday I raked up about the equivalent of 600 ( as you call em) "Idiot Cubes" This was all fields till someone bought the property, and put up a high end custom home, of course there was a loose stack of old firewood where they don't mow the lawn, little buffer between the field. Yours truly must have had the rake too far over to get that hay raked in enough and caught a piece of it and did not notice, while shuttling wagons back to the barns, saw the baler stopped, he caught that piece of firewood in the pick up ! Nice NH 315 baler, low hour, was a one owner, there is a lot to be said for watching the hay go into that pick up, he saw it in time, I thought the worst too finally got some good hay up too, no rain and looked great for late 1st cut, yet there is always some darned thing when it comes to hay, as good as things were going, always something.
