May 15th

Spent most of the day reassembling the 4100 transmission. I have it all assembled and ready to put back on the tractor with the exception of the detent balls and springs for the shifter forks. I have the springs and balls but there seems to be a "pin" missing that locks two shift rails together. I definitely do not remember it being there when I disassembled the transmission. Maybe that is why the gears meshed wrong and broke teeth off. After all this transmission had been apart before within the last year. I was also sent out on a riding lawn mower deck belt replacement on a X320. The customer was expecting a blower and bagger attachment to be brought out when I went but it seems the customers son canceled the order and did not tell his father. Mass confusion on both of our parts as my work order did not show a bagger, therefore I had no idea what the sons wife was translating (Japanese) from the customer (father) and telling me.
