    Nice work. Always amazes me how people can make a $5 tube of grease cost a couple grand by not using it.

    You are very skilled with a hammer. I think it helps you have large thumbs.
    Speaking of thumbs. I have 1996 f250 2wd with 5.8l that needs a clutch. Can you recommend a brand from your experience? I was looking at rock auto and I do not wanna use "EeeNeee Meanie" to choose a clutch.

    i wouldnt be blaming the operator for that damage surely the nursery mechanic has to carry the can if he,s doing 250 hour oil and filter changes it should be part of the service routine to grease the entire tractor.

    I never understood why they call that component a rock shaft? Does anyone know? Usually it's obvious why something has a name called such and such piece. But I've been around tractors a fare bit, but never understood why that was called a rock shaft.
