Seems there is always something needing to be fixed. How many others get up in the morning and think to themselves "I wonder what will break today"?
Yep, alternator not charging on a tractor. Yep, battery toast on another. I do not even want to go to the barn today.
Who else has these days and what is your latest "perfect, just what I needed today" moments?

Found this leak by accident and had l not, would have lunched the whole tractor.

Youve got to be kidding me…. I walk around with my eyes closed.

Just yesterday i wad brushing my teeth and lo and behold….water is dripping from the hot water valve body. Time to replace the faucet cartridge. Have you ever seen the wall of cartridges at home depot. It takes forever to match it up. And no wheres on the faucet is a brand name.

I’m totally with you on that statement ! 25 or 30 years ago there was Moen and maybe a couple others, matching the cartridge was pretty easy, not so anymore unfortunately! 😒😉

When I moved in here 25 yrs ago I was young and energetic. I fixed and improved everything...
Now 25 yrs later everything is wore out or broke down and needs fixing and upgrading again but now I'm old and tired. :p

3 days ago ... zero turn ... bad bendix in new(ish) starter (18 months) 1/2 way through mowing lawn. ordered 2 new starters from Amazon, installed one/finished mowing/have spare/will rebuild the one with bad bendix when I have time, so 2 spares (that I will probably never need). Next job on that is deck refurbishment ... new wheels/scalp rollers, hydraulic height adjustment repair, pto "throw" adjustment so my pocket knife isn't needed to keep blades engaged and new blades --- general lube point attention as well.

A couple days ago I was sitting having my morning coffee. When it got light I could see something hanging down from the bottom of my 2009 Tacoma. Checked it out after breakfast - one of the two straps that support the gas tank was so rusty it broke. No choice but to fix it right there.
