Just a little story some of you may relate to: I called the neighbor last Saturday to see if he would be around to pull those fence posts. He said to come on over (across the field). Turns out the tractor was dead...no juice in the battery due to ignition left on (our 3yr old has been known to turn the key to the on position). Anyway, I find I can't open the hood 'cause the FEL is in the way. However, the battery is right behind the front grill so I figure I'll remove the grill. Since my tractor is an older model (20yrs old), I find that two of the four attach screws have stripped heads...so NOW I'm drilling their heads off. Finally the grill's off and I've got the jumper cables rigged to the car...too late, here comes the neighbor ambling across the field to see where I got to. He's just in time to see my whole jury rigged mess...tools, tractor grill in the grass, cables, etc. Rats!!
