The lawn tractor’s front left tire got a hole. Here I am fixing it with a tire plug.

 I got a call to fix an old garage door opener.  Something had gotten caught in the door, causing the pulley and bushing on the driveshaft to slide out of place and tearing the belt.  I removed the pulley, put the bushing back in place.  Then reattached the pulley in its proper place and installed a new belt.
