We started harvesting wheat on Monday. It was typical wheat weather, temps in the 90’s. Fortunately the air conditioner in the combine was working good.
We got to try out the new grain cart.

I only dumped a little bit of wheat on the ground learning how to use it.
We ran about 4 hours, then a bleeder valve on the fuel filter of the combine broke off, squirting diesel fuel everywhere. How does a bleeder valve break anyway? So this morning the day starts with a parts run into McAllister in Fort Wayne. They have a miserable supply of parts so most likely this will get ordered from Indianapolis and we’ll have it tomorrow.
A later note: I was wrong to bash McAllister. They did have the part, I put it on, everything worked fine, and we’re ready to roll again.
