old tractor issues

Blind Hog and Acorn got up WAY before the crack of dawn and drove to Jeff City to attend a Parasite Management in Small Ruminants seminar, hosted by Lincoln University. Acorn thought, "might as well- it is free" and danged if she did not learn something new.

After lectures and hands-on with sheeps (checking the color of their eyelids) it was time to have fun with manure pellets and microscopes!  The program  host made sure we all were instructed to "wash your hands when you are done with the microscopes and before you eat..."  LOL...

Flu shots received for 2023... Knocked Acorn on her ass for a couple days but she rebounded  strongly. Sadly, fixing the Massey Ferguson is still out of her grasp.  Blind Hog has been clipping the fields and paddocks with the big Baby Elephant (the Mahindra 55)...  Hey, it works just fine but does leave quite the footprint in the fields.

Ugh!  So frustrating.  Good news is that the '61 MF 35 has a new distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, coil, and negative battery terminal wire and clamp.  It ran like a top for 45 min after Fred worked on it for 2 hrs, now it is acting up again... Either a:  governor rod/linkage or b: still something in the fuel line/carburetor...

Much back and forthing on the tractor, Easter egging parts.  Blind Hog did get the driveway graded at least after Fred did his magic, but 45 min into the job the issues of choking down and acting fuel starved came up again.  Possible burnt valve? Who knows?!

UGH!  On the bright side? Wasn't that big moon wonderful!

Weed trimming has been getting done around the house and in the garden.  Chicken coop all cleaned out. Everything else doing fine EXCEPT for that darn tractor.  New ones are like and easy 20K...

Will see next week if the problem has been resolved one way or another...
