August 22, 2016

View of the day-Cleaning day...because you always want to blow out the rads when it is 90ºF out there.

We got a lot accomplished today. Replaced the pin that had broken on the header...the one we cobbled together with a bolt until we had time to get to it. Al did a bit of cleaning and greasing on the combine and header.

We had been having issues with the fuel gauge in the combine...it was always reading full. Marilyn thought it was wiring, so she changed the ends on a couple of them, but that didn't help. Ray from ProHarvest suggested taking the screws out of the sending unit...there are 8 of them in a circle holding it down...and just giving the whole unit a counter-clockwise turn one hole. That did the trick, it's now working!

After getting all our work done in the heat, we went into Kipling to get some super strength glue that we needed to fix a rib on the draper belt. We stopped for ice cream and a few groceries before coming back to the camper for the day.

Everything on the list got crossed off and tomorrow we road trip to Yorkton...
