Farm and Garden

[Li'l Work Truck]

Its hard to get too ambitious to cut up trees when it is 90°+ and I have a million other things going on.

I call that night work season. I'm a fading redhead, but I still have to deal with 100% of the ultrasensitivity. >90°F and >50% humidity are enough to wear me out just being outside, let alone  do anything, so when summer hits I just switch out to doing things outside of the hours of 10 AM to 7:30 PM, like the road crews.

Well anyway last night (for the reason's mentioned above) I got the C running for the first time in two years and pulled the rake out of the weeds. Went over it with a fine tooth comb and greased all 93 zerks on it.



I pulled the cover off the gearbox to catch the zerks in there and found an ant colony and soup. Zerks in the gearbox took grease great though.



Soup was mostly water, I left the plug out to let any extra drain out. I will just throw some used engine oil there to help flush things around, I don't have a lot to do and it isn't like it is a super fast spinning or high stress gearbox.
