[AT] Air hose stupid attack...

[Indiana Robinson]

	I had to put a new matched set of 3 Vee belts on son Scott's New Idea "Cut/conditioner" 
(large flail cutter / windrower) today. A previous owner had put the wrong sized belts on 
it. The pully Vee's are 5/8" wide but they had put 1/2" wide belts on it and they were 
running in the bottom of the grooves instead of gripping the sides. It had been slipping 
at times even though they were quite tight under spring tension. Yesterday one let go and 
another was about to go so I sent Diana off to find me 3 new ones. Several places could 
order them but it was going to take too long. Local NAPA to the rescue. They could have 
them by 7:00 AM this morning and only $42.55 for all three. As I started getting stuff 
together to change them I got my little butterfly impact wrench out so I could use it on 
the mile long tension spring bolt. I was not parked real close to the shop (the MTA and 
the baler were sitting where I usually work) so I pulled almost all of the air hose off 
of the hanger and tossed it out the door. I then started looking for the snap coupler end 
and didn't see it in the pile of hose. I started kicking the pile of hose around looking 
for the end but it was nowhere on the ground. After mumbling some things that shouldn't 
be said in mixed company I finally found it securely attached to the air tool in my 
hand... DUH!!!  I wonder if they still have another empty room out at the home...   :-)
	Sure made a big difference in the way the unit handled the tough spots of extra tall 
hay.
