April 13th

Today is Friday the 13th, bad luck? If not working on ag equipment is bad luck, I guess so.
Was given the task of doing pick up and delivery's today. Was not enough work to keep busy all day though. Only three delivery's, kept busy till lunch. After lunch, worked on a GT325 rider. It is the shops rider for moving the reader board from the front of the store by the road to the back of the lot. Guess what, as the shops rider it is neglected. Had to pull the carburetor off of it and clean it. It was full of water, one of the most common problems we see when mowers come into the shop.
The other repairs that I did today was to replace a carburetor on a Honda push mower and a Troybilt Horse tiller. The tiller had gas so old that it absolutely stunk. The carburetor was so gummed up, that the needle and seat metal was green and the float was waterlogged. Put the carburetor through the cleaner and with a few new parts it should be good to go. Its just too bad that I will not be able to see it run. I loaded up my tools and moved them to one of our other stores where I start working on Monday for about a week. It looks like it will be an interesting week. Stay tuned and I will let you know.
