Just remembered another scary moment...
Bought a used 200a Square D I Line breaker off Ebay, don't remember what it cost, but expensive!
It looked good, like new almost. I went to plug it into the switch gear and as soon as it connected I heard a sizzle and a slight puff of smoke came from somewhere inside the breaker.
It was decision time...
Do I keep on pushing and hope this doesn't get real bad real quick?
Or do I drop this expensive breaker, (that is sure to break when it hits the concrete), and try to outrun the explosion?
Well, I decided it was too late to run, so I just pushed it on in. Whatever it was stopped sizzling and smoking, the breaker is still in there and working. Never had that happen before or since, no idea what it was other than something conductive must have been rattling around inside it.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
