Not sure where you live in MO but a guy on Jackson MO fixed a leak in the top of my pump for $75 without having to rebuild it.

We've got a good small shop locally. Where mine is leaking he has to disassemble the pump to fix it. So he'll put a kit in it replacing all the seals and gaskets. Even then, it'll probably be $200 or so. Said it depended on what he found. Hoping for good news. Thanks for the tip though!!!!

Used the CMM this morning to help a supervisor get a couple of parts up and running for a big customer. Ours has been an abrasive relationship since I started here. However, getting him the info he needed for adjustments in about 2 minutes seems to have softened him a bit. He even thanked me (that's a first).
CEO brought around paychecks already today, too. I'll call this a good day.

Maybe stick with welding?
You say that cause I threw the piece out of the mill yesterday? lol. I love running the milling machine, I been welding for 31ish years and I get burnt out on it pretty quick.

The Woods bush hog I bought has a baler belt on the front of it as a guard, it's torn up. I was looking thru the manual and found a picture of a chain option. I started working on that. We don't have any fab machines to break or bend so I am going to make it angled with a plate and piece of angle iron. I started cutting slots and got one done. The guy at the hardware store is going to flip out when I tell him I need him to cut me 56 pieces of 5/16" chain 7 links long, lol.
