%^$#! Tractor.

Two weeks ago we pulled the injector pump out of Gulchendiggensmoothen. I told M I didn't know enough diesel-fu to be sure that was the problem, only the fuel was going into the pump just fine but didn't seem to be coming out with any enthusiasm. M took the pump to the city, got it rebuilt, and all he could learn was "a part was broken."

So we installed the pump this morning. Got it all hooked up, it didn't cause us much trouble. Bleeding the fuel system, the always-balky starter solenoid decided to pack it in once and for all. %^$#!

Pulled the starter off, so that M can take it to the city...
