Looking good Russ, been a great weekend for us. Celebrated Miss Marilyn's home going yesterday morning, then ran by my nieces to pick up a freezer and swing set. The swing set didn't look like that big a deal, only took my 2 1/2 hours to dismantle and load on my trailer by myself. It's amazing what a couple furniture dolleys and ratchet straps can do with a 1000 pound swing set tower. Saturday afternoon was time for a birthday party followed by mowing grass, and then putting the swingset back together in my grandsons backyard.
After church today, hauled my tractor to a friends house so we can tear it in half and fix the clutch this week. Time for a little R&R this evening.

Man you guys ain't skeered of projects!

We had a nice weekend of volleyball. It was a smaller tournament but the kids came in with game faces on. When the smoke cleared we were the last team standing.




Blaine is #2.

We celebrated cantina style.

Congrats Blaine and teammates, great victory. She's growing up pretty fast Leggett, hope you got that fence with razor wire built.

Yesterday was a good day, just a little short of being a great day. Lost a truck in an accident on I-10 in Flatonia, distracted driving is a bad thing. Thank God our driver is okay, suffered a broken nose and some scratches. Will post up pics of the truck when I get to the office.

Not what you want to see when you go to an accident.





At least the trailer came through it okay.



I was supposed to go to an Astros game with my grandson yesterday when his came up. It was his first game and he had a ball. Hated to miss it.

Finally got a chance to post up Monday night's project. The clutch on my tractor went out a few weeks back and I lined up with a buddy of mine to break it down in his shop. Mind you, when it broke it wasn't slipping or doing anything else a worn clutch would do. I told my son it had to be a bolt or pin fell out somewhere inside and would probably be an easy fic once we got it split in half.
We started around 6:15pm and spent 2 hours disconnecting lines and removing bolts and finally started the seperation of engine section from rear end section. Had 2 more lines we did not see so had to get them loose and then she came apart pretty easy. Looked inside the casing for the cluth and there layed a 3/8' x 1" pin and 2 washers, came from the left side finger on the clutch assembly. Put the pin back in and waiting on cotter pin replacement so we can reassemble. Never found the cotter pin that held it in.
Plan to get back on it Sunday afternoon or Monday so we can get it back together. Never know how much you miss them until they are broken. Gonna do all fluids and filters while we have it down so she will be as good as new.

Pulled apart and hanging on a chain hoist.


Casing where the pin was laying.
