Well I got the engine pulled for the clutch on the tractor. It has a s 2 speed like a cast iron automatic on the back of it that hooks to the transmission with 2 sprockets and a chain coupler once it is in the frame. Those parts were worn so I got 2 new sprockets and chain to replace. I found it has a spanner nut holding the one on the 2 speed and the other on the input floats. I had to order the spanner nut and seals with a socket this morning. They said they have the parts and will go out UPS Monday so I am on hold till Tuesday when they arrive.

I worked in the barn on cars and stuff but it was a pleasure no boss and make my own hours.
Run a little jewelery store. Gonna do curbside. Maybe some online sales. We do a lot of shop work. Glad we don't have to miss Mothers Day, pretty important to us.
Thats when I get the most done. A little music and the projects fly!
Had a friend way back as a
teenager that worked in a jewelry store molding and making rings mostly. sure enjoyed watching him work.
Its a lot of fun, always enjoyed working with my hands. Gonna havta go get some stuff done, Yall have fun!
Was trying to find some old pictures of me and the boys replacing the clutch on our international M tractor sure is different than working on a car. lol
My son and his youngest son went out hunting this morning and bagged his first gobbler this year. 21lbs
Nice bird would taste good for dinner tonight.

Could you just use a brass compression fitting where you need to cut it?

brilliant, i used those to splice the line lock in and they worked just fine
that might be the way to go
A few years ago I did this one. Carved the wax, cast in sterling silver and set a sapphire for her birthstone.
Do you take requests ?
Its what I do, or at least I will when we get back.lol This one I did for a buddy who's wife is a prince fan. Hard to tell but white grading into purple diamonds.
Awesome !!!
Nice work Wayne your talented.
Plumbing project came out ok, no leaks. Now have a faucet in the garage to wash cars, and water nearby plants. Something for everyone, but my back paid the price.
I here ya buddy been under my car all day.
Thanks Fred. nearly 50 years in.
Well that is a bonus no leaks ! Just ask Fred about leaks
What about leaks, Fred. My last project didn't come out so well, couple leaks, had to drain the system again and resolder 2 joints.
Fixed my leaks this morning started it up and the longest the old gal ran since I got it running.Well that is a bonus no leaks ! Just ask Fred about leaks
Only thing left under the car is a grease job and front end alignment.
Well I hope anyway. HO and bleed the breaks one more time...
