    M pedestal

    That wedge changed the angle of the front wheels so as to make the "wobble" in road gear less of a problem. I have one on my "H" that dad installed years ago, it can still wobble so I think it is pretty useless. The science behind it is like a wobbling rear wheel on a shopping cart; if you...

    OT One more thing to worry about.

    Some of the ideas on this topic border on the silly. I agree with Pappy about the 2-key system...let me explain: The bank where I have accounts and a SDB was bought out by BMO, and now the bank is going out of business and the building has been sold. The bank sent out a letter informing us...

    Fast hitch/side hill hitch value

    I live in some hills in Wisconsin. Side Hill hitches were commo back when plows were used. I was raised on Iowa flat land and when I moved here I saw those Side Hill hitches for the first time. I have one mounted on my H Farmall, just for people to ask about it at shows (Flat landers never...

    Plowing picture

    Gene, I was born in Grundy Co., IA, and I agree that if you plowed that wonderful Iowa soil too deep, you would not get a moldboard to scour. My father bought a '52 G in about 1957. That tractor broke down so much I told dad that lemon even breaks down at night in the machine shed! It had good...

    Any of you with reverse mortgage or have experience?

    When it comes to family financial and legal matters, I always take the advice of tractor lovers. And when my tractor acts up, my lawyer is my source of knowledge to make it run better. LA in WI

    JD 7000 planter

    Air planters have lots of air passing over/thru plastic parts....which can cause static electricity on a low humidity day, which can cause kernels to stick to plastic parts and cause skips. So marketers of graphite added talc. Graphite is for lubing, talc is for stopping static electricity...

    gas!

    I sur wish I was "benefiting from the sale and usage" of ethanol. I own nary a penny of stock related to ethanol production. I am a retired old coot and I use ethanol...use it in H Farmall, 30 Cockshutt, 3 JD mowers, etc. "Everyone hates the stuff"???? Everyone? Really? Hates? Who...

    I got a skunk that comes

    Skunks dig little one inch "divots" in my yard, looking for grubs. I just leave the divots alone as they do no real harm to the turf and they deteriorate in a couple weeks. Skunks are excellent "mousers" so that is a big benefit to have them around. They are also a very good looking animal...

    Crazy things I hear

    Back in the 1950s and 1960s in Iowa, there were a lot hen pheasants nesting in hay fields. The hen would only get off her eggs at the last second as we mowed and a lot of hens flew away with legs cut off. Every farmer I knew rigged up a pipe with chains dragging in the hay in front of the...
