Why does everyone say that. I just start at 8am work until noon, take 25 minutes for lunch, then work until 5pm, 30 minutes for dinner, then work until 9pm. I amybe take a couple of 15 minute breaks around 2:30pm if it is hot out, but today was not too bad. Like I said previously, I just like to work on this truck, and I like to have the proper tools to make it easy. I have worked on, as well as my grandfather on many antique tractors of all types, so We have a lot of tools for moving heavy parts around.
I fabricate any other tools I need usaully right when I need them. Like the alignment pins for mounting the trans to the bell housing, or clutch alignment. But I already have a lot of that type of stuff. I keep a red tool cart( the type with just two trays- no drawers with all the tools in it, basically piled with sockets in one corner, wrenches in the other, lubes, sealant, antiseaze cans in one and then misc tools in the other, then specialty tools in there own boxes or on pegboards-
I also try to be as safe as possible- so plety of locking oversized jackstands(remember the tractors- hard to pick 5900 pounds of 1935 john deere off the floor with a engine hoist. let alone get a stuck appendage out from under it.
I know I will be able to drive it when I am finished, but what will I wrench on?
Maybe the 1940's lindeman crawler john deere B in the storage barn. then pull it to the tractor show with the 49 3600? that would be neat.
Well pics tomorrow, they are unloading to the computer now
