Posted by ShepFL on January 22, 2005 at 14:19:35 from (155.14.26.23):

Was working with my MF 50C TLB today trying to slope my driveway. Been a wet yr. Trying to improve runoff and prevent having a 4x4 driveway again this yr.

Working along just fine and seen some sparks out the front end. Hmmm? Stopped the rig and went up front to investigate - found battery hold down rusted in half and broke. Got me some bungee cords and strapped it back down. Figured while in there I would retighten battery cables.

Now where is that stubby 1/2" wrench I use? Dern boys must have run off with it, I sure can't find it. Oh well, get the only handy 1/2" laying around it is about 6" long.

Cranking down the battery cables and KA-BLAM!!
Blew the top out of my big battery! Dam, there goes $$ down the drain. Luckily I just got acid on my hands and shirt.

Must have grounded the + cable side to the frame with that long wrench. I guess tomorrow I will rob battery from another rig and try to get the job done.

Just sharing :)

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w ... [Read Article]
