My garden tractor started bogging down, running badly, barely pulling itself along, puffing black smoke.
I was anticipating loading it up on the trailer and taking it to the mechanic.
Laying awake thinking about the situation I had a brain f@&t and this morning I got up and started the tractor, then removed the air filter. It ran like new.
I had forgotten to change the filter on the last servicing so it was running on a two year old clogged beyond belief unit.
No more black smoke, power to pull up tree stumps and I am a happy lawn mower, and I did not have to load the thing up and haul it to town.
All it takes is forgetting one simple thing and your day can be ruined.
