I’ve had a few people comment (privately) that folks who didn’t witness the tractor repair from hell have no idea why it’s taking me so long to plow a field. Therefore I’m listing some reference materials (in rough chronological order) about tractor repair Curmudgeon style:
- Sherlock Holmes And The Ailing Tractor: Part I
- Sherlock Holmes And The Ailing Tractor: Part II
- Sherlock Holmes And The Ailing Tractor: Part III
- Sherlock Holmes And The Ailing Tractor: Part IV
- Sherlock Holmes And The Ailing Tractor: Part V
(Apparently at this point I gave up on Sherlock Holmes and became Urkel)
(Finally I head for the finish line, filled with encouragement from Winston Churchhill.)
- Christmas And The Tractor Of The Damned: Part I
- Christmas And The Tractor Of The Damned: Part II
- The Tractor Of The Damned: Part III
- Tractor Of The Damned: Part IV
- Tractor Of The Damned: Part V (With A Labor Rant)
- Tractor Of The Damned: Part VI (Meet Mr. Dipstick)
- Tractor Of The Damned: Part VII (Dipstick’s Diagnosis) (FIRE!)
- Tractor Of The Damned: Part VIII (Dipstick Is Saved By Chickadees)
- Tractor Of The Damned: Part IX (A New Dawn After Dipstick’s Mistake)
In retrospect, I should be given a sponsorship by Kubota for chasing everyone sane toward a brand new machine by displaying the misery and delay of wandering in the desert with my antiques.
