After I got the rebuilt water pump back on, I had to get a friend of mine to use his small crane to put it back on ,,not a one person job. Its also a counter weight for the 3 point linkage. HS and i have taken up sketching again, man am i ever out of practice lol. hopefully I'll get better i plan on doing one every morning.

Is that the one that also went through your window? . Your sketching looks quite good actually , you're a man of many talents I managed to get the radiator off myself to do the water pump, , but almost dropped it, nearly broke my back and almost gave myself a hernia all at the same time. Silly thing to do that was . Its just a heavy lump of cast iron with a few gaps for the water to pass through , lol HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

You had to pull the radiator to get to the water pump? it must be pretty tight clearances. I appreciate the compliment i have gotten a bit shaky hopefully i can get better. as time goes.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted September 16, 2023 Author CFM Report Posted September 16, 2023 years ago, 20+, a tree fell in my yard and tore out a fence smashed my canoe, took out part of my roof and bent the mast on my service. I was given bad info from the state electrical inspector at the time who said i would have to have my whole house electrical updated which would have been several thousands that I just didn't have so i have lived with the problem until this last year or two when the power lines started wearing on my eaves causing a real dangerous problem. I have saved up all year got an estimate and was really relieved at the relatively small cost but damn am i pissed at that jerk that lied to me. I have missed a lot of sleep over this.

You bet. I've loaded a pic and highlighted the water pump, you may have to zoom in bit . Theres no way to get a spanner between the radiator an the fan , I tried. The other pic shows the rad off the tractor, the bulk of the weight is the top tank . Everything is cast iron, top tank, bottom tank and sides , all except the core. 21 hours ago, chuck123wapati said: but damn am i pissed at that jerk that lied to me. Do you believe in karma? I do . I was recently asked to do a quote for some trampoline pads, my price $$$$$$$ ++ , online price $$ . He's a regular customer, his wife keeps me busy with horse rugs. I could not in all good conscience charge him my price when its a fraction of the price online. He got back to me and said: "Thank you for your honest advice" . My conscience is clear, and my reputation remains in tact , otherwise it would have bit me on the a**se at some point in the future if I went ahead.
