Turned out it was both bolts that hold the drive roll motor on. Maintenance guy said he wasn't coming in, would just start this morning 'cause it's going to be an all day job.

You didn't break it....that's wear & year. Maybe need better bolts.

Yep... wear and tear.... just happened on your "watch".... I much prefer things to break when DS is running the equipment..... so doesn't get blamed on the operator...

Turned out, it took about an hour.
She's running beautifully tonight.
I'm mostly watching & making lists of what I want to get done over the weekend.

I wanted to get in a couple hours of yard work when I got home yesterday morning.
I covered the garden bed in a layer of wet cardboard to smother the tiny little sprouts that had suddenly covered it.
Then I tarped Eva's spare bale .... because she was eating it through the side of the wagon instead of eating the one IN the feeder.
Then I decided that I really wanted to get all these dry leaves mowed/mulched up and on the flower beds. But there were HUNDREDS of pine cones. I usually just mow them, but there really were a LOT. My back was already a little achey from work so I decided to make a Pine Cone Picker-upper. I found an old plastic post, zip-tied a couple of big nails to it & started filling a bucket with cones. Six buckets later, arm & hand itching (?), and half the yard cone free - it's time to clean up & get some sleep.
Then the itching turned into prickling & stinging.
Yep..... that old post wasn't plastic, it was fiberglass.
.... I'm so 'smart', I'm so 'clever'
... I'm going to spend the next week with a hand full of invisible splinters.

I’m guessing the fiberglass post hit the trash?
