Yesterday the pump froze up in the pump house because the electric heater in there decided to retire. Spent the day warming it back up, only to find out once it thawed (well after dark) that the frost took out the seal.
Today replaced the pump and got the replacements and bulls back on water.
In the meantime yesterday the feeding tractor decided to eject the rear engine seal. Kinda thought buying new might alleviate such inconveniences but apparently thought wrong. So today put the herman nelson on the T7.210 and finally got her fired up this afternoon only to find that because the urea tank was froze solid 1000 rpm was the limit. Sent Dad out to feed the cows with it, unsure if it would make it back to the yard and went to borrow the neighbours tractor to feed the first and second calvers, calves and bulls. Fortunately by the time Dad was done feeding the cows that tractor had rectified its problems and as it sits everything is fed and those that were expecting water got it. Been a long damn day, but the good news is tomorrow is supposed to be much warmer, somewhere around -20 so I'm looking forward to that for sure.
