Ductape repairs

March 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Where would we be without ductape. In farming they say you only need two things to make a repair – WD40 and ductape.  If it doesn’t move and should, use the spray, and if it moves and it shouldn’t, use the tape.

This is a John Deere 9860 combine, built in 2006 and owned by Fiasco Farms of Melita, Man. Victor Clark, son of Fiasco owner Alan Clark, was combining sunflowers in October when his air filter warning light came on. Victor turned off the threshing unit but left the engine running while he went to see what was wrong. He was just starting down the ladder when he saw smoke. He got the fire extinguisher and discharged it on the fire. From  Editor Whetters Blog
