Had a DA day yesterday doing simple maintenance on my tractor. Changed the oil and ait filter along with the oil. Started out normal but got sidetracked after my wife said I was out of beer. First mistake was after draining oil and inserting new oil filter I pourd in new oil-got half way through the 3 quart canister when I realized I forgot to replace the oil plug. Cant do anything with the oil that came out because it got mixed in with the old oil. After replaceing the plug-I started to poor more into the engine but somehow an airpocket got into the canister and oil blew out of the canister and all over the front of the engine.
Had to clean as much oil out of the nooks and crannys on the engine block and front flywheel as well as the concrete floor. I forgot about one thing.....until I turned the engine on.
Oil got into the crack below the flywheel and as soon as the engine started-it splattered oil all over the hood, engine and garage.
Moral of the story here-
Make sure you have plenty of beer for the job.

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.
