880 progress?

[GermantownGreen]

Chipping away at the 880 project. Got the flywheel and thrust bearing torqued down, then realized that the clutch disc dampener center was too sloppy to put back in. This has a power booster behind it, we've rebuilt it, so figured we'd better put new clutch and pressure plate in there.
I called three vendors for parts, and, called YT parts, talked to a very competent Lady in Nw Nebraska, she sold me the disc, and pressure plate from YT parts, they were the best priced, and it came pretty quick.
Got it put on tonight. We got 1.2" rain last night.
Storms were to the east and south of us. Prayers for those affected. GG Wes

It's so stinking cold and wet here, I wouldn't even be out in the shop working on anything today if I had anything in there. I've been spraying corn for 55 years and never sprayed in weather as cold and nasty as I did yesterday. It was borderline being too windy and misting a little, but I wanted to get done before we got anymore rain. I had my coveralls on, had my hood tied up and wore gloves. I still had to sit here covered up in my recliner, covered up, to get the chill off after I got done. Good thing I finished though. We'd had another 1.1 when I went out and did chores this morning. I'm staying right here in my recliner unless I have to get up.

Glad you made it in safe, our weather has been different. 74' today, nice and sunny, local electric coop says still 600+ meters not back up running yet.
Lots of tree limbs and rough country to work through. Look at Truman lake, Northwest part is affected by the last storms.
Thanks for sharing your time. GG

Well, I had to get up and put my pants on and ride the four wheeler out to check cattle. Then we had a tractor club meeting. I'm back in my recliner now though.
