Grass slithered down his back as he wrestled with the bolt on the broken U joint connecting the PTO drive to the baler. Another day, another breakdown. Yesterday he’d managed to get most of the one field baled. Today he wasn’t sure he would get as much done. Sweat streamed down his forehead into his eyes. It was hot and he was only half-done baling when the power take-off connecting the tractor to the baler rammed up. He blinked and tugged again, pushing even harder. Finally the wrench moved. But his damp hands slid along the handle of the wrench banging into the shaft of the PTO, scraping the skin off his knuckles. He sucked in a breath, allowed himself a flash of self-pity, then picked up the wrench and got the bolt off, blood mingling with sweat on his hands. He pulled the shaft of the PTO loose, ignoring the throbbing ache in his hands he finished the job. He pulled out the broken U joint and got to his feet.
