I have lurked as a guest from time to time over the last few years when time has permitted, but finally needed to ask for some info (clarify some links.)
I've been involved in agriculture most of my life. Grew up around machinery being fixed, so it wasn't uncommon for me in my younger days to be on hand. I used to have quite a collection of tractor manuals ... and moving to pdfs I'd often help out other people locate a service manual or other data for their machinery. The last 16 years were mostly lost to unfortunate health situations, I won't bore anyone with the details but enough to say had I just sold everything I owned and moved well away from the family farm, I'd have probably recovered within a couple of years.
This year I'm determined to set things so I can have the time and energy to get back to what I used to do. ATM I'm a bit rusty and it's now a distant memory to spend half the year endlessly servicing tractors and machinery. Yes even 25 years ago I knew it was odd how I was so "unlucky" when it came to breakage and other machinery issues. I'm not hard on gear, it's just things like carborundum dust in the bulk grease tin for some weird "prank" really doesn't do much good.
