Replaced a grease fitting in a piss poor spot on the tractor. On the main shaft and can only be accessed when the shaft is facing up, otherwise no grease coupler will work (not even a right angle fitting). Replaced it with a 90-degree grease fitting to get it straight on with a regular grease...

I got a bunch of free troffers when I was rewiring my garage. I pulled the bulbs and ballasts and put in the ballast-bypass LED bulbs. No regrets.

Some guys buy their trucks and tools for show and will never actually use them.
