What has been your most annoying waste of money? I have two. Not huge but they bug me. I've got an 87 Ford L8000 (road tractor) that was a Pepsi truck. It was the first semi on the farm. It has a short frame and turns on a dime. Its an automatic so anyone can drive it in the field or around the farm. It's great because you can get a hopper trailer just about anywhere with it. The injector pump went out on the 3208 Cat in it. I hated to waste $4000 having someone do it but I like the truck. If it didn't have new tires on it I would have junked it.
The other is a Farmall M. The motor was fairly well shot so I bought a kit from here and had the head redone. New bearings - everything I always do. About $1700 bucks. I got it back together and was not real impressed with the oil pressure. I got so mad at it I decided to buy another M and swap motors just to get it going. I paid $800 for an M and got it home only to realize it was much better than mine. Power steering, live hydraulics, and an engine that doesn't use any oil. I junked my M and am using the cheap tractor on the mixer grinder. The one with a brand new engine is sitting in the back corner of the shed. Hacks me off every time I walk past it.

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
