72F and clear @ 11:00, headed down to a low of around 69F overnight.
My legs are pretty long ... but maybe not quite that long ...
It's official: the B2910 is once again mobile ... and under it's own power:
Haven't welded up the access hole in the center frame yet, so if it gets driven ya really gotta make sure yer shoelaces are well tied up and don't get near that hole where you can see the front axle drive shaft and u-joint assembly a-spinnin' ...
Just drove it down to the house and back up to the shop for a test drive, all seemed normal.
Oddly enough, did not see any leakage out of the steering knuckles. Be curious to see how they look in the morning. That project may get delayed until a rainy day.
Did notice the back ball-joint on the drag link was dripping grease though ... so replacement of the rubber boots will be timely.
In any event, I still plan to give it a good bath tomorrow ... mainly because it's going to be hot out (89F) which should help drying things off/out.
Did get a good bit of clean up done in the shop after I moved it out, still a long ways to go though. No welding done however.
Also located the tractor-side half of the PTO shaft for the tiller, was in the stationary tub. Took that down and verified that it was for the tiller and left it down there.
Think I might go ahead and adjust the slip clutch on the tiller and at least start to get the rest of the garden area tilled up after the Kubota gets it's bath and get the soil microbes busy on digesting the grease and goo. Better late than never ...
If that comes to pass, I'll probably work on getting the frame for the soil screen finished and get the corner of the hardware cloth for it welded where it came loose.
Grass is starting to get pretty long and could stand a haircut though ... so that may figure into the agenda as well. But I still have another day (or two) after tomorrow to get it cut before the rains return.
Best wishes for Kyle's Moms.
Good night all.
Gives me the mental image of you "Flintstoning" your tractor
