"It's good way to relax when I come home from the road. When you're out there on the tractor there's nobody to bother you."

Washed and parked until next time. Still can't find any instructions for it, so not sure what maintenance to do.
The chain case has oil in it, smells like API GL-5 hypoid gear oil, looks fresh and there's a bolt that is probably the fill level one. Looks good for now.
Otherwise just some grease on the PTO shaft. Didn't find any other grease nipples.
This kind of detail makes me very happy. Someone gave a fuck when they designed this.
The bolt is recessed so it doesn't poke into the rubber mat that goes on top, but because water can go there, they put a drain hole next to it, so it doesn't stay trapped in the recess forever and rusts the bolt.

Where Your Trash Goes
Trash interests me. I'm odd that way.
A drone's eye view of the Calabasas Landfill shows their technique of laying down a bunch of strips of plastic and then just shoving the trash onto it, then covering it with dirt and anot
Iseki finally got that well deserved wash. Also a new alternator belt, so no more screeching.
Love the engine access here. Top hinges up, side panels just lift out to get access to everything. Nobody appreciates good engine access like a former sailboat owner!
Drying off now, then time for some fresh grease.
Spotted this teaching aid in the corner of the farm equipment hall.
Can never resist something like that. So amazing to look into a machine and see what's going on.
It's no longer used, the rest is modern equipment (including some John DRMeere), but at least they kept this around

Iseki alternator belt is screeching and the tensioner is maxed out. Pro tip: Check how much space is on the tensioner and order a shorter belt, which means the tensioner will work longer before maxing out.
Concrete beams deployed, now onto the boring task of stacking more firewood.
The not that big looking pile in the yard turned out to be 3.5 trailer loads.
Yes, poor Iseki still hasn't been washed because frost came back just as I was about to plumb together some kind of pressure washing setup. Soon 25°C though! 
There it goes. 
Enjoy the tractor, Mark! At least it’s staying on the mountain.
