I took the wife to the city in the morning so she could shop and for lunch.

Took the dash off the kubota to try and track down the reason I wasn't getting power when I turned the key. No starter, no glow plugs, nothing. Ended up splitting the wiring harness and going wire by wire. I think it's the actual key switch.

About that time the neighbor called, computer issues, some indian called and took control of his computer, and he was afraid they were going to get their banking info. Went over and cleaned it up for him. Took about an hour, but he's a nice older guy, hate to see someone taking advantage of that.

By the time i got back to my split up rats nest of wires, it was to cold, so I went in for dinner.
 
Among other things, I hooked up the stand by 25kva generator the the tractor. Suppose to rain then snow in the next 24 hours
 
Put a new battery in my 2007 6530 branson. Don't make them like they used to. This one only lasted 9+ years. Came with the tractor from S.
Korea.

Shoveled snow, looked at a job made a material list, went to Ma's house
shoveled more snow, worked in the shop for a while and then worked on putting
some walls on a tractor shed.

Got the slip tank and most of my junk transferred to the new truck, got a call for some skidsteer work, so went and made $90, then pumped 20 gallons of diesel out of a parts tractor and filled up a couple of others for free :). Re-arranged stuff in the barn to make better use of the space, made an offer on a new 25' GN trailer just 2 miles from home, and got accepted! Got a new dashcam in the mail, figuring that out now.
 
Saw the sunrise again that I am thankful for. Then started building a new gate to replace the one the bulls smashed the other day. Steve
 
Did barn chores,Wife and I attended a milk
recording workshop in town did chores again and
we put up some Christmas decorations
 
I know on some Kubota tractors, there's a fusible link that will do exactly what you're describing. Take a look for a connector that looks like the one in the link
Fusible link
 
Went to work. Once I got home, I used a
sawzall to cut the roof of my old well house
into 4 pieces so I could load them into my
truck and throw them in the dumpster. That
will be the last of the old wellhouse. I
built a new one last week as the old one was
the size of a playhouse(not kidding), and
was too hard to keep the pump from freezing
when it was really cold out. The new one is
24" high, 24" wide, and 40" long with 3 1/2"
styrene insulation on the sides and top.
Anyway, after I loaded up the roof pieces, I
went across the road to the shop, where I
painted my JD H radiator, then took the mag
all apart and cleaned it up. Has good spark
now. Then I took the JD H carb all apart and
sandblasted all the parts, cleaned them, and
then installed the rebuild kit in the carb.
I didn't stay long at the shop, as I let the
fire go out yesterday and it was 45? in
there.

There were a couple fuses that I checked, no issue. Didn't see one like that I don't think, but i'll take another look tomorrow. It was intermittent, worked yesterday, but not the day before, and didn't want to do it today. I took it apart because it's intermittent, and I need it to work when I want it to, not when it wants to.

I'm only half way running through conteinueity for lines. Schematics would be helpful, I'm not getting oil pressure light, but glow plug wire gets 12v, which means that 2 leads should get 12v when i switch to glow plugs, I just don't know what the second lead is. I get 12v main at the back of hte switch but the wire that goes to the starter doesn't get 12v when I turn the key.
 
I put out 2100 gallons of liquid feed. Crawled along about a mile of road that the hogs tore up.6 in the morning it starts all over again.
 
I am working in upper Wisconsin doing a controller upgrade, original was installed in 1986.

You probably use the product if you like cheese dip.
 
Started PT today. Been three weeks since rotator cuff surgery. Went with the wife to the
Amish store. Hung out at work for a couple hours to see whats going on as I can't work for
awhile. Hauled a bull and a couple cows to the sale barn this evening.
 
I repaired the VLOM circuits on an 08 2 Mode Tahoe Hybrid. Then I replaced #6 fuel injector, resealed the oil pan, and a fuel filter on a 2015 Duramax. Then I replaced a glow plug on a 2011 Duramax. 18 flat rate hours today...
 
went to town and got license renewed on the good truck . went to tsc and picked up sheep mineral an air tool i could
use and a John Wayne calendar for dad for christmas so i guess shopping is on . after lunch took the 1086 and pulled
home a used planter i bought. moved some machinery around had supper and pitched manure out of the barn till nine then
brought some corn in for the pellet stove .
 
Got the stacker out today, had a hose on the tractor needed changed so had it made, fixed a hog waterer. All along with
chores, going to rain tomorrow plus going to a sale so going out tonight to make stacks, going to be tired tomorrow.
 
Picked up my deer from the locker plant where I had it processed.

Worked in my office.

Went to the doctor to have my leg checked. I did quite a number on it a couple of weeks ago and skinned most of the hide off the front of my right leg from the knee to the ankle. Saw our doctor a week ago and she wanted to admire my work again today. It's healing nicely, but slow.

Just got back from a County Planning & Zoning Committee meeting.
 
I've been working on a ceiling decoration for a room in the basement. It is supposed to be something like a WW2 themed officers club. It
was a wrecked airplane wing and I'm trying to make it like a war trophy. I drove 16 miles into town for some x-rays and to pick up a few
pieces of hanging hardware for the project. Got home and got ready to paint finishing touches and I realized I got the wrong paint last
week (latex) so had to drive back for the correct stuff. Finally finished it so tomorrow I get to fill it with bullet holes (can't
wait).

The light behind my house was on. It is the warning light that my lift station pump is having issues. Spliced the wires back together and now it will work manually. Might just leave it that way until next summer. Ground some venison burger. I can finish it tomorrow.
 
Went to work at 12:00 noon, did a federal inspection on a trailer, brakes and sudpension work. Co-
worker and I cleaned up all our mess, parked the unit and just walked in the door about ten minutes
ago. Off until Monday!!
 
Dropped off the dog to get spayed, started a project to replace the railing on the truck scale with 4" pipe so the truckers have to work harder to screw it up, bought a 1951 Ford 8N for mom to mow with, and took the kids to scouts.
 
got steers and heifers fed in morn,went down by creek to check out solor water pump that isnt working, thinking its the solor controler, while pumping water with generator, think its the batteries are shot, wait till spring now. unhooked tile stringer trailer to use truck, went to neighbors to finish cleaning out ditch, dug out 2 stumps, then checked out 2 culverts he wants to dig out to put in cleaned out ditch. dark, went home to get wife to follow me home with tile tractor, feed steers and hiefers, and unhook water to the frozen pipe that froze and broke.done
 
Rained here in California for a change. It's been a log time we had any measurable rain. Couldn't do much out side. Took collection of plastic and aluminum to recycle. Got 36.25. Went and picked up a reupholstered chair cushion. Cost 35.00 there went my recycle money. Checked my gopher traps at the church, in between rain drops. Checked the webb for a new microrange. That's about all. Stan
 
Now that's interesting... build a project then shoot it full of holes. Maybe take it out and wreck it too? Good job, looks real.
 
Jack...Took the little dog to the groomer and wandered around Wallyworld waiting for her to get done...
 
Planned to hunt pheasant in the morning, wound up taking my shotgun for a walk. Came home at 11:00, took 2 loader's worth of firewood from my main rack to the back porch
with the Kubota, got cleaned up, went to Naser's market to get some capicola. Got back, ate lunch, exchanged screen for storm door, installed door sweep on mudroom door
going to garage, Went downstairs, swept and cleaned, then mopped treadmill area. Got back upstairs and started working on wood substructure for Christmas trains upper
level. Built a fire in the woodstove about 4:30 so family room would be toasty, parked myself in a comfy chair at 5:15. Wife got home at 5:30. Got to keep the illusion
that I take it easy all day!

Sold five fat black steers then burnt two huge brush piles at rented farm. Mowed eight acres of covercrop oats off then ran the ripper thru that and another eight acres of old alfalfa sod. Ran the chisel plow some untill daughter took over. After supper removed the intake hopper and parts from our deere 550 grain dryer to rebuild this winter. Had a small grain dust flash fire that burnt my hand rather bad. Just hurts but no need for Dr. so It could have been worse. Tom
 
Checked my plow route early in the morning, not really enough to plow. Went to the dentist, new x_ray showed
enough improvement from last month that he is going ahead and making the permanent crowns for my implants.

Spent the afternoon trying to make my waste oil heater run, apparently water is not on the list of approved
fuels.

Went out before supper and plowed one driveway, weekenders bringing up many guests for tgiving, probably not a
snow tire in the bunch.
 
I went to my office for an 8:00 am board meeting and then came home at 10:30 to take care of a sick child. Even though she was not quite up to par, a day with her is a joy. Yesterday spent with her was a gift.
