Posted by dawsonn on October 14, 2009 at 20:11:41 from (66.186.251.101):

It all started when my to be wife and I decided to get married. My father inlaw did not say a hundred words to me the whole year before we got married.I thought it would get better after we tied the knot. Wroug! It got worse he would just sit there and not say much of nothing, when we would go over I would ask to help do things with him and he would tell me no his son would help so I would just back away. I offerd to help with the hay he would say they did not need any help, so this went on for about six months and one day his son had to work the day the hay had to be gotten in because of the weather. So my wife said daddy needed my help but I told her that if he needed me he could call me. A little while later he called and I went and help. That realy helped our relation ship. This is where the tractor comes in while we were in the field to get the hay the battery keep over charging and the acid started leaking out, come to find out he had bought the tractor 4 months before my wife and I got married. He had broght it back to the factory seven times and they could not fix it they kept putting alternators on it regulators on it but never fixed it. He had a bunch of people work on it and no one ever fixed it. He was fussing about it one day and I told him I would look at it, he told me he had the best to work on itand they could not fix it so what made me think I could fix it. I told him I had forgot more the those other men know. You should have seen his face lol. (He told me years later he said to him self look at this punk) So he told me to come fix it that Sat. So I brought my meters and tools and went to looking everything I did he would say they checked that or done that. I spent about half the day looking at everthing and did not find anything wrong I was about to give up when he said see I knew you could not fix it. I said I am not through, Thats when I prayed Lord let me find what is wrong with this tractor. I tell you as soon as I prayed my eyes went to a spot on the wiring harness and there was a place that had tape on it but had been painted blue from the factory. I cut the tape off and found the two wires from the alternator had been cut and butt connected back wrong fixed the wires and it charged like a new one. You should have seen the look on his face when I told him I had fixed the tractor. After that he took me under his wing and treats me like his on son. The Lord used a tractor to bring me and my father inlaw close. That has been 27 years ago and we are like father and son to this day.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. 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 ... [Read Article]
