To keep me from picking corn? Never mind the cord on the elevator shorting out and burning in half today,or stepping on the tines of the corn fork and hitting myself in the forehead with the handle.
I was hauling with the big White. The third load today,I got about three quarters of it off and the crib was full so the elevator needed to be moved. I pulled the wagon out of the way,shut the tractor off and moved the elevator with the 1550. I got all set up,climbed up in the cab,started it and it almost instantly bogged a little,shuddered and quit like I turned the key off but quicker. I turned the key and it would barely turn over. GREAT! Now what,a spun bearing!? I tried it a few more times and it started turning a little easier but still no sign of starting. I opened the door and started to get out and it looked like black fiberglass insulation under the AC compressor. WTH? I got off and looked. A black cat had gotten up in the pulleys to keep warm evidently. He got all tangled in the belts and pulleys,broke one belt,flipped the rest,the broken belt unplugged some wiring. I had to take the alternator off to get the mangled mess of cat out. I got the hair and mess out and put the belts back on. The only place I could find that the wires needed to be plugged back in was the AC,but it still wouldn't start. I started feeling all along the wire to the injector pump and found a soft spot in it. It had pulled the wire apart on the inside but didn't break the coating. So,I had to cut that and splice it back together. I was no where near the shop this whole time,so I had to keep going for tools.
Just to add insult to injury,it was the only cat that really knew what he was here for. He never came to the back door wanting to be fed,he stayed out in the barn and around the corn cribs hunting all the time.
Two hours from the time I left the field until I was unloaded. Some days!
