| 1158433 | 2010-12-03 21:10:00 | You want a work story: Wednesday called by a dairy farm at 1800 hours, long drive worker (very hard to understand from india) said he wanted to hook up muck spreader to this JD tractor. Reason ARC or whatever it is now is coming for inspection tomorrow. Reason this tractor other tractor which normally spreads has blown clutch and its just used for pumping muck from pond to paddocks it wont move. Well root my boot this 4000 series of JD has its own special quick couplers completely unlike the rest of the worlds NATO compatible agriculture interchange. Cant adapt NATO ones in because they are in a special housing and you cant buy a UNO female threaded adaptor because its a port thread. Ring John Deere guy in Cambridge said there is an adaptor that has JD on one end and NATO on the other but after calling back said only pair in Winton. Talked to indian no good, ok lets look at other tractor about 200 metres away in 6 inches of cow ****. ***** me dead this Shibura tractor has no hydraulics at all. I am looking at a relatively modern tractor and its got no ****** external hydraulics at all. I get this sinking feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. No probs we will go up to the house there is big Massey Ferguson there, house is a long way so I get on farm bike behind indian to pick up MF. 1km from cowshed the chain comes off the bike. Look at chain its completely bone dry, flogged out and way out of adjustment. To my utter amazement the indian puts it back on like a pushbike chain never seen that on a motorbike. Tells me he does this about 5 times a day. Get to MF battery flat ok will take quad bike back to cowshed take battery from JD tractor. Off I go in quad bike it runs out of gas, walk back to the house indian syphons gas from his car drives back to quad bike. Quad bike battery goes flat before gas gets thru indian goes back to house to get jumper leads get quad going. Battery terminals on JD battery corroded and break as I undo them more about this latter. Battery put in MF and its driven back to the cowshed to put behind muck spreader. But wait the JD is behind the muck spreader and must be shifted because its in the way the back of the spreader is near shed wall. Remember I ***** the terminals in my haste to get them off. Take battery terminals and lead from my service truck get JD going and parked. Back up MF behind spreader, ******* hoses are too short make new hoses. Push lever all hell breaks loose remember I said they only literally sort their **** out when the ARC visits about every 6 months well the chains to the **** pusher have seized up. Get hydraulic oil and tip on chains and bash them with a sledge hammer and there is a god the pusher starts to turn at the same time the conveyor belt slips off. The conveyor bearing housing support on one side has cracked and broke. No ****** welder on the farm! getting very angry at indian by now we arent even talking but neighbor has welder. Indian takes an hour to get welder I am charging at $75.00 and hour plus after hours rate and he pops in at home for a quick snack and cup of tea. Weld up support and it works tomorrow morning they can spread a mountain of **** about as high as Mt Egmont before the ARC get there. Got home tipped 4 8% woodies down my neck one after the other then **** me a another customer rings. |

So you made quite a bit on that one then. You must go back more often, no doubt everything on the farm will be stuffed by then. Actually husband fixed a few farm machineries and so on when we were down South. He said he's learnt most farmers seem to be incapable of any maintenance, haven't got a clue and can't even keep fences in good repair, never mind equipment. |

| 1158438 | 2010-12-04 04:27:00 | You want a work story: Wednesday called by a dairy farm... reminds me of the time when working for KFS someone forgot to put a seal on one of the drain plates on a effluent pump. We set the thing going at 500 rpm to test it when we are nicely soaked with the mornings cow **** :rolleyes:, so is the interior of the truck and tool box. after an hour putting the ruddy pump back together we take it apart again and put it back together. as the "young fella" I get to spend the last 4 hours back at the workshop cleaning the crud out of the tool box and polishing spanners. Good times though |
