What did you buy this week?

[Rockbadchild]

I have been rebuilding my old John deer disk, I order all new disk for the front and some scrapers for a totals of $1800.... took it apart but one side was seized right up so I brought it to a welding shop, they broke a few spacers and I saw that a few bearings were busted so order that for a other $1800 ... in a way I am glad I still can get parts for it but I am also wondering if I should've just bought a new one....

now I have to find part to rebuilt my old Massey Ferguson sickle mower or just buy a new one

On Friday I bought a quadruple root canal.

Glad it wasn't me.

I have to ask, what did the PoPo do or say to you?

They axed me a few questions.
Told them the situation. They took notes.
Pretty much told me to smarten up with what I say.
It's hard to get the local fuzz to come out to serious situations talk about the nonsense/nuisance calls.
He told me they initially responded thinking it was a theft report.

It’s been 20 years since a root canal but I can still remember that sawing sound.

Have you seen the price of new ones.
A set of 12' wheel discs here is approaching $20K.
I don't bother with scrapers, they only come into play if the ground is too wet.
Bearings aren't all that bad.
Sounds like your dealer is pretty pricy.

I had it done in the chair.
One week one side and then the other the next.
First side was easy.
Shot/5 minutes to take effect/20 minutes for both extractions/out the door in less than an hour.
Other side...
The top one was a repeat of the first 2.
The bottom one was badly impacted.
You know you're in trouble when the assistant has that look in her eye.
Then he started cancelling appointments.
Hammer and chisel went to work. Pulling splinters with plyers.
Pain killer wearing off.
Finally, over 2 hours later it was done.
I was scheduled to go to work that evening.
I missed the next 2 shifts.
Actually my jaw joint hurt worse than the tooth.
Took a good two weeks to get over it.

right on that makes me feel better, mine is a 10' the bearing was $120 a piece, cast iron disk spaces $310 for the long ones and $470 for the short one (between the bearings)... I guess I should've not bother with the scraper and I got a few scraper arms that where very expensive, I can't recall the price for each disk. I am at $5000 invested in this one now.

I'm one of those weird folks that falls asleep during medical procedures. They had to wake me up periodically to turn my head. Several shots of local numb-juice was all I had.
