Don't you love it when you misplace used parts!!!!

JD Seller · Dec 23, 2016

I know I have switched several JD breakaway couplers to ISO couplers in just the last few months. I have a JD style coupler that I am fixing for a friend. The arm the activates the couple or actually pushed the check balls apart is bad. When you switch to the ISO ones you do not use this arm on the ISO coupler. So I know I have had 4-5 of them used in just the last six months or so. I can not find them any where. I always keep the entire barrel and arm just for spare parts. It is not a big deal just frustrates me in that I could have had the SCV valve done this evening. I will check to see if the boys "stored" them some were I do know about. More than likely the NEAT freak middle son scraped them. He know we do not use the none ISO ones and figured why keep the ones we no longer use.

I often find myself in the same predicament. Can't find anything. Unfortunately, I don't have any sons, neat-freak or otherwise, to blame it on. If something is lost, it's my fault. Gets aggravating sometimes. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Nothing more frustrating than knowing you have something and just can't find it, especially when you need it.

I looked for a pair of pliers. I got excited when I remembered that I had left them on the entertainment center.

I don't want anyone else messing with my parts or tools.

I know the feeling. I call myself an organized pack rat, everything is in a drawer or organized container somewhere. The big word is SOMEWHERE!

I took a carburetor a part once. Went to put it back together and one part was missing. I looked all over the floor, under the
bench, and in the drawers. Couldn't find it. Then I remembered dad looking at the carburetor. I went to the house to ask him.
Right there by the coffee pot was the part!

I now have a spare garage door opener. I put the one out of my pickup in my coat pocket while blowing snow, and of course couldn't find it later. Looked all over many times over a couple of days. Even though I didn't think it could have fell out, it was gone. Bought a replacement. A day or so later found the "lost" one in the back seat of our car in the garage. No kids to blame it on, I was outside by myself. I really have no explanation how it got in there. I do have a spare now....

I can lose a part just walking 10 feet.

Charlie M · Dec 24, 2016

I loose a tape measure for about 5 minutes every time I set it down, no matter what the job is.

Dick L · Dec 24, 2016

When hunting a part that I just had minutes ago I find parts I lost six years ago that I bought to replace parts I lost in this mess.

Oh, and by the way Merry Christmas before I forget to tell yall some where else.

With the medications I take I have CRS (Can't Remember Sh#&amp

I set something down because I got distracted and it gone. I can't find it. My wife found a pair of my glasses that were missing for a couple months in the freezer. This is very frustrating.

rick1 · Dec 24, 2016

I am guilty of that as also at the time I think I will remember where I put this at but a couple weeks or months go by and I dont have a clue what I did with it. I always have to keep looking around when I finish a project for tools I leave laying around where I used them

I have have those parts to, not a clue were they are tho.

Steven-Id · Dec 24, 2016

Easiest way to find the missing part is to just go buy a new one. Once you have the receipt for the new one the old one appears out of nowhere. It is funny to me that I can look right at something and miss it.

I don't know what I would do if I misplaced my most important used part. All I can say is it's a good thing it's attached to by body.

Teakettle · Dec 24, 2016

The other side of that problem is finding parts in strange places and then going crazy trying to figure out how in the world they got there. Like, why would I have put a clevis pin in a kitchen drawer? Or when could I ever have been in the woodworking shop carrying a hydraulic filter?

Leroy · Dec 24, 2016

Tell us if you find it or what happened to it.

notjustair · Dec 24, 2016

Twice this week I have found things someplace I haven't been for six months on this farm. Go figure.

I have some things that are in the dumbest places but that where they belong. If I ever buy something and it gets set down in an odd place I am toast. I use it twice and from then on it always belongs there. That's why the pipe sealer is with the oil treatment supplies rather than the pipe dope. It ended up there and it's too late now.

Don't you love it when you misplace used parts!!!!
