I’ve learned that I’m inertial--I’ll happily work a project until something stops me and then it can be hard for me to restart. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I run into one that needs $$$$ or a skill I lack I have a tendency to push it to a back burner. Except for if Cindy is involved... then I get a 🔥 lit under my a$$ to giterdone... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,069 #31 Posted November 7, 2023 I do better on projects that must get done without stoppage… like for instance the garage door I just put up. Other things like “ another “ Wheel Horse, I can take a break, but then when I get back on it, I tend to push on through… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel certain that there is a clinical name for this. Of course mine would be hyphenated with several other issues... I won't call it a disorder, because it's quite frankly alot of fun! But it's nice to know I'm not alone! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,008 #36 Posted November 19, 2023 Well I got the basic dissasembly done today. Majority of the hard to find stuff is good. Fuel tank, lower steering, front axle, and footrests. The drive belt guard is a mess. It's all there, but looks like someone just ripped the last bolt off when the couldn't remove it. There are two distinct creases (traced with a sharpie) in the main flat, and a bend in the corner of the top where the two top screws attach. I am not good at sheetmetal work, but it's much better than it was. Maybe tomorrow I'll get it to a decent shape. And every nut on the tranny is rusted so bad that I guess I'll have to drill the bolt head and drive them out. The hitch pin is gonna be a bear. I cut it off flush and drilled a hole to center the punch so it won't swedge the end. It is really stuck! I was surprised to see the tranny mount plate isn't cracked. Seems for every good thing I find, there are several bad! Oh well, it's on its way. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
