    Before auto tie balers

    My Dad remembered an old "block" baler. He said you almost needed a full time carpenter to build blocks if the block inserter was not quick enough. They went to a JD 116W baler and did a lot of custom baling the first few years. They also went to a heavier wire after the first year because a lot...

    John Deere model R tractor shift lever knob

    Years ago the ball on the 3 point hitch on my 4020 broke off. I drilled a hole into a golf ball and hammered it onto the lever and it worked fine. I also did that to a neighbors 4020 and he was happy as well.

    Auction find

    I used one back in 1972 and 1973 in High School. I went to a local junior college part time for 4 years while farming and milking cows starting in 1985. There was a large slide rule hanging above the blackboard in the Physics room. I asked some of my fellow students if they knew what it was...

    New Holland 77 baler in action.....

    The neighbor had one of these. My brother and I helped him bale hay for several years. They made a good solid bale.

    For those who "don't do fractions ".

    Decades ago when I was growing up a neighbor kid purchased a motorcycle that used metric bolts. The previous owner obviously owned no metric wrenches. The neighbor kid said in his slow drawl, " there are two sizes on his motorcycle; vise grip size and hammer and chisel size."

    Square baler loose knot problem

    I once had a dull twine knife that did something similar. It did not completely cut the twine and the few strands left pulled the knot apart when tying leaving a partial loose knot loop.

    odd ball tractors

    When I was growing up a guy with a Wards tractor pulled in the tractor pull at the Stephenson County fair. He always placed well.

    4320 John Deere adding oil

    Years ago after my uncle Floyd (a mechanic of many decades) had the injector pump repaired on my 4320, oil level kept rising. Turned out he had messed up the umbrella seals. He said that never happened before. That would be my guess.

    In praise of LED lighting for older tractors!

    Several decades ago I finished planting a field after milking with my 1946 JD A and a JD 490 corn planter. My brother drove alongside with his car so I could see where I was going. I could have used LEDs that night!

    Things you don't like about Wal Mart.

    We had one of those in our ag shop in high school. It was called a Bradley. Once in a while our teacher would come in with wet pants because somebody had opened the valve a little too much and the water would squirt over the basin resulting in wet pants. So he made a little cover over the valve...
