I know that feeling well.  My tiller's gearcase is on a table in the back 
yard, needing split to see if I can re-design the detent to holds it in 
whatever gear it in as its stuck in full fwd.  Its a common problem with 
that gearcase design, so common even new ones that use that gearcase, 
sitting on the front sidewalk at Lowes for sale at about a kilobuck, are 
also frozen.  9 d*mned years in the field, a well known problem, and its 
still not fixed.

Then because the skirt of the probe on my DSO201 didn't come with a cover 
for when the snap on hook is removed, it touched grounded stuff while 
attached to the floating control circuits neutral, and blew both the 
control interface and the controller itself.  I've rounded up 90% of the 
semiconductors, but so far haven't managed to swap enough chips to fix 
either one.  I don't think the power scr's are hurt, and its likely the 
problem in the interface is a bad 74LS240, which is made out of unobtainium 
at digikey, so the 74HCT240 will have to be used.  The motor controller 
uses a pair of LM324's, which somehow didn't get ordered.  I have another 
of those MC60 controllers (fleabay purchase) on a ups truck someplace, 
headed my way.  But it hasn't fallen on onto my front deck, yet...

Amazingly the MOC3052 used for the scr triggering isolation, is a moisture 
sensitive device!

I may need the lathe that isn't working to be able to fix the tiller.

Yeah, the ranch has its priorities too this time of the year.

Cheers, Gene
