All

The last few days I have been hit with stupid little stuff.

Borrowing my son's V10 Ram to haul some mowers to Okla. leaving 2 there with someone and hauling my Hustler back after doing some mowing there.
 V10 failed an oil pressure sender Wednesday near Ennis Tx. Changed it out in parts store parking lot, which was not fun on hot engine. This morning on the way to church the replacement sender also failed, putting a small stream of oil out the electrical connection, just like the first one did. Got replacement under warranty, but went to 6 places looking for 1/8 NPT 45 elbow and could not find. Want to move sensor so I can get a wrench or sender socket on it. Finally found short nipple and coupling that should move it away from block slightly. Tomorrow morning will try to install the second sensor when engine is cool before I start it.
Yesterday I snapped one of the blade spindle housings in two pieces on my Hustler Fastrack SD mower. Was able to fine some replacement parts just before store closed. Was able to finish mowing this afternoon.
This weekend the 2 X 10 ramps I use to load mower failed near a knot hole. Friday I got a new 2 X 10, and it snapped in two pieces on Saturday. Yesterday got a second replacement on that also.
