Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
Bad switch stuck a starter on, operator didn't notice, starter bearings roached out and allowed the gear to get sideways and eat the teeth on a ring gear up. Got to split a 986 to fix that.

Had to lift (not remove just lift some) the cab on a 6420 to fix a POS worm drive hose clamp Deere uses, that style strips out way to easy. I'd spent about an hour fishing a socket in there to tighten it up, if I'd have quit 1/4 turn sooner it would have been good.

Stuff is never fun to work on, but in all reality, you try stuffing all the neccessary equipment into a compact package, and manufacture it cost effectively. No easy task.
