My 87 yo best friend came to me today needing a bit of help with his tractor.
He lost the clamp for the engine kill cable on the injector pump.
I have one just like it on my own tractor that I could copy. So I suggested he run out and get us some coffee and a doughnut and I would get started on it.
It did seem to be a bit puny of a thing to make on a 2 ton lathe but hey, it'll do it.
It took about an hour to turn the part, drill the holes on the mill and tap the hole for a 6-32 outlet cover screw.
Then we had coffee and doughnuts and shared the joy that even small things can remind you that all is still well with the world.
