formal introduction to your new best friend, reflection, burp of your earth
@L35
with the loader rails and everything in front of you, it is very tight to get that top bolt without taking off exhaust
you have no room in there, the bolt is stripped, it is just easier on your heart to do it this way
yes you are right though, if you had proper extension and angle adapter etc, you would have been able to get starter off without removing exhaust

reflection: the molten bracket complex that kept snapping in half is no longer snapping in half
the bracket that you pump $50 or more of magic gas turning it into one entity, is magically staying
show me one person that believe that it is staying put? you can't believe it as you type it
you are talking about the rear bracket you melted the rebar/nails into, and you melted it together with the bracket that hold your fender
what you did yesterday and it somehow did not break:
you were LUGGING earth from the high point to the low point with puddles, in LOW gear, bucket all the way,
with insane MIGHT, you robot staying structurally sound, for hour and hour, diesel engine singing, calming down your heart
your suspicion: the rear bracket has less stress on it when your front support (that you melted the wheel spacer into) is intact, and since all the point of your loader connecting to your tractor are intact,
it spread the stress across all the mounting point, causing none of them big stress to break them
lesson: soon as one support break, DO NOT keep running it or you will snap your robot in half
underestimate you not how much might you need for your robot to lug around your realm and how much stress it cause on your steel structures
all your magic trick holding that hold your loader to the tractor, but the only magic trick that broke is your FEL valve
later today:
melt you a long steel rod/bolt/something across where your FEL valve weld keep snapping,
the longer the better, since it will spread the stress
you try to narrate this for the audience, that you cannot just melt 2 entity and expect them to stay intact, NO
where your weld break, you need spread the stress, and connect the 2 entity couple inches away from the breaking point (later you see what you mean with picture)
also you never got a proper formal introduction to your new best friend,
in few hour, you get a narrative that has been brewing in the bowel of your earth, deep inside your earth, coming to the surface, your new best friend , wait til you hear it
