After about 6 weeks, I finally broke down and went to the Doctor. On Tuesday, I felt pretty poorly and started running a fever. The Doctor put me on a 10 day course of antibiotics. Hopefully this will knock the crud out and I will finally start getting better. The weather is so nice outside and now I am just not up to getting out in the great weather. Perhaps later today.
The Hero Channel on DIRECTV is running a program about the Irish and their role in the US Civil War. I am proud to say that there is Irish blood in my family. You know them, Patio as in Patio furniture. I know that there was always a story that a Great-Great Grandfather that was Irish and he married a Scottish woman and they fought battles all the time.
I finally broke down and bought a solenoid for my tractor. When cold, the only way I could get the starter to engage was to take a hammer and tap the solenoid. I hope this new solenoid will take care of that. I probably will take the starter off and do the solenoid reploacement on the bench. We'll see.
I will also take the tractor out of the garage so I can get the 57 out and test drive it again. I have a minor adjustment on the accelerator pump to try. It has a small hesitation when I accelerate and it may be getting a little too much gas. I'll give that a try and see if it doesn't drive better. If not, I have about exhausted my integrative and cognitive capacity and will try something else.
Have a great day - going to be 70-75 today here in the Heartland.
