Title: Anybody With A 10mm Socket Extension & Handle
Post by: Henry on May 30, 2014, 01:54:07 PM

Broke a spring on my John Deere seat.  Got 2 new springs, but my tools are few & far between.  My socket fits into a screwdriver  type handle.  Can't make my vice grips hold tight enough to remove one of the nuts to replace the spring.  Really don't want to pay Harvest Equip a trip out here to do that.  Anybody willing to do this for me at a reasonable rate??

Now I know some of you mechanically inclined might be smiling,  but I don't do plumbing, heating or mechanical work, thus the professional vice grips, hammer& limited wrenches will usually satisfy what I might tackle.

Many thanks to Wayne Sweet for coming over and removing the old spring and installing the new one.  Sally called me around 7:15 and Sally told me Wayne had a 10mm socket and that he could come over tonight if I wanted him to.  Shortly thereafter Wayne appeared, tool chest in hand and within a short time everything was done.  Less I forget to mention it, Sally & Wayne have been extraordinary neighbors giving me rides on many occasions and always willing to help out.  Very much appreciated Wayne & Sally.
