B250 clutch solved/also a rant about manure laws

Well my B250 is ready to go back to work in the manure. WE found that the yoke had broken and an anti rattle spring on one of the fingers was missing. The biggest problem was that a bolt on one of the fingers had worked it's way out further than the others. Steve at Ontario Used tractor Parts had a yoke and the throw out(I don't want to call it a bearing because it is a solid carbon ring) and the clutch shaft. I ordered anti rattle springs from Case I-H and they did get them in. They couldn't get the spring clips that hold the "bearing" in the yoke so we improvised. The best part was that we didn't have to split the tractor. It is similair to an H in that you can undo the shaft at the rear universal an pull it out. Total repair was about $60 for used yoke, shaft, and throw out, $8 for springs and some labour for my friend who did it for me. Now the only problem facing me is our new manure laws in Ontario. As I understand them if your cow s--ts out in the field on the snow you are supposed to gather the dung and all contaminated snow and store it until it can be disposed on dry agricultural land after all snow is melted and the spring run off is no threat to carrying it to a stream or tile. Many farmers are telling the government that the laws are so severe that it will force them out of cattle. Large cement storage areas are required for dry manure and even roofed versions are required to keep seepage to a minimum. We of course live near Walkerton Ontario where the largest e-coli outbreak in North America occured three years ago and the source was cattle manure in the town's drinking water so the government has over reacted again..what else is new?? Take care Farmall friends...Mike in Exeter Ontario
