Ladies and gents I am not making this up!!
My BIL just retired a couple of month ago and bought a 28' travel trailer. Got it home and figured out that he could not make the swing into his driveway so he brought it down here for awhile. In the meantime he built a cover for the RV and fixed the drive way apron, got it home and backed it in and the shed was to narrow to be able to put the slide out, out, honest mistake I guess.
SWMBO wanted to go see her sis so we went up there. Our mazda bottomed out on the drive way so I asked him if he wanted me to grade the drive for him, sure he says.
Walked over to his Kabota 7001 with a FEL and grade box on it, he said he was going to get one of those DR grader things and I told him to let me take a lick at it.
As he's showing ME how to run the tractor I pull the dip stick, I asked him "when was the last time you changed this oil (he's had the tractor for 20 years!!) he said never and now I'm afraid to change it because it might break some sludge loose and clog something up??? off to the parts store for oil and a filter.
Got it fired up and he says that some times you have to reach in and give the fan a push because sometimes you start it and the fan doesn't turn......tightened the fan belt for him......got the drive graded though, just can't figure out how he gets by.
