Another milking job today and tomorrow............here is what happened this morning.
Gads......................the milking job went less than stellar this morning. Blew a fuse on the receiver jar pump. 15 amp automotive type ones. Of course we couldn’t find ANYTHING there, so SU came home and found 2. Only 1 of the fuses in the box was blown, so he just replaced the bad one. 9 cows left and it blew the one we put in. So, he puts in the other one he brought along that we didn’t need...........flipped the switch and the pump made a horrid grinding noise and blew out the one he just put in. Grrrrr............I had called the Surge guys and he talked us through the fuse thing, so I had called them back and said it worked. Now I had to call and say “you better come out............I have 9 cows left and 7-5 gallon pails of milk that drained out when everything filled and overflowed into the trap. Meanwhile SU comes back home again (only 3 miles) and robbed the only one we had left.........it was in the old 442...........he put it in and it didn’t blow out this time. So, I was able to finish the 9 cows, suck the 7 pails of milk through and the repair guy was replacing the pump when we left. Mr. Trumpy is NOT going to be impressed with the bill from Surge. LOL That motor h as to be about $600.00. Got home about 10:30..............usually home a little after 9. LOL Oh, well, it should work like a charm tonight. At least I know it wasn’t something I did or didn’t do. And yes, I did take the pipe out of the cooler.
