Sounds like an issue I had with a local refrigeration guy and the bulk milk tank. The top coils were frosting up but the bottom ones weren't. The tank was running all day. He came every night while we were milking and just stood there twisting knobs on his gauges and acting like he was doing something. This went on for almost two weeks. The hauler finally told me something needed to be done because he was awful close to having the load rejected due to high bacteria from warm milk.


When I told him about it he went off and started cussing,told me that maybe the milk man should come and try to fix it. When I calmed down a little from being talked to like that,I asked him if he could maybe call the dealer and ask them if they knew what the problem was. He was still ticked off but didn't say he wouldn't.


Next morning he showed up,said he had called the dealer and they told him there was refrigeration oil settled in the lower coils and he needed to sweat the lines apart and blow it out with nitrogen. It took him about an hour and a half and it was fixed.


He gave me a bill for well over $800. When I "expressed my displeasure",he came unglued again and started cursing again saying he'd been here every night for two weeks trying to fix the g** d***** thing. I thought to myself "If you knew what you were doing,you wouldn't have been",but I didn't say it,I paid him.


He was the same guy who painted my 3010 outside in the rain,then when I asked him if he was going to clean that mess up and do it over again,went off and said "I've done all I'm doing to that F ing tractor and I want my money!". I paid him for that mess too,but it was the last thing he did for me.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
