Default Re: The Ace Mechanic Again

Well Ace, at least you drove home. I have a 29 CCPU that i have been working on for 18 months. Finally got it running, front brakes (no back ones yet) and decided to give it a short test drive. Went 1 mile in one direction, turned around to come home and 1/3 mile from home the truck dies. Dead. Starter is fine, battery is fine, fuel is fine but no start. Like an idiot I have no tools. I walk home (son's actually since that is where I keep the car) and get him to help tow it home.. How to tow it? His car has no hitch and is new. Nope. Mine ha
s a failing transmission. Nope. He suggests his John Deere "Tractor" - an L100 riding lawn mower to be exact. Well, you do what you gotta do. Do you know how embarrassing it is to be towed at 3 mph by your son who is taking selfies of himself driving the lawn mower towing the 29 CCPU? I will never live this down.
