Hello.
I never worked around a residential yard.
There was an equipment shop that I would work at and was given the chance to work on everything my little heart wanted to get into.
Some stuff like a bulldozer, where you would remove the entire seat and crawl inside, I was able to use my small size to advantage.
I was always given the largest wrench for the job as I did not like to use a lot of effort on fasteners.
Servicing a bulldozer, greasing, fueling, adjusting belts and washing one, was a full evening affair for me.
But I had my own tractor for transportation, my first car, if you will.
We call it "Mexican Overdrive" around here but it's the same thing.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Don't laugh, I had this up to 50mph, it uses a BMW 600cc motor-cycle engine (so I didn't need a car license.....actually I had no license at all) with 4 forward gears and a reverse.
"I never worked around a residential yard."
Yeah, and it shows.
