It only took a year and an hour

[Ultradog MN]

A friend of mine has a spare power steering column for a Hundred Series Ford.
Last year we robbed some parts out of the hydraulic block to use them in another tractor.
I ordered new ones from the dealer at the time but the parts just sat on the shelf since then.
I finally got around to installing them yesterday. It took about an hour.
When I opened the USPS flat rate box the invoice was there along with the springs and seals.
The date on it was 1/06/12

You are doing better than I am on some things. I found some parts yesterday while working on some hydraulic pumps that I have had since the late 1990s. The bad part is I had forgotten I had them and have boughten others several times.

"These things take time"

I did that once and when I read the invoice I still owed some on the bill! I felt bad!

I just don't seem to get around to procrastinating these days, like I used to.

In 1986 I took the head off my Farmall H and had the valves ground an head shaved. It sat on my work bench until last winter when I finally got "rountoit" and got the old gal running again. Hey, thats only 25 years!!!

I tore an "L" Case down Labor Day weekend of 1978; it's still sitting in the shed in Kansas torn apart.

I bought new clutch discs for the driveline clutch on my JD baler 6 years ago, I think they were like $60 bucks, there still sitting in my tool chest.! Now that the baler is inside this winter, Maybe I will put them in. Prolly not though! Lol

I've got a whole drawer full of new gaskets, seals and odds and ends I bought for some project or another but never used them. I caught myself buying them new again when I got around to doing that project so I finally made a list of what I have in the drawer and go to that before ordering new. Wonder what it would cost to replace that whole bunch.

I don't even know what "procrastinating" means. I plan to look it up one of these days.

We built our farm shop in 1977. We had a big I beam installed in the ceiling that spanned the 30' side. Always intended to build a trolley for the chain hoist, for years the hoist just hung in one spot by a length of log chain. I finally built the trolley, and got it up in 2007.

30 years. But I got it done!
