    KBA ...unworn original..

    Remember seeing a older farmer on the Marais des Cygnes River bottoms 35 years back, looked more like a 16 or 18 footer and walking the dog with an early 50's G. A few days earlier he was plowing the same field with the same tractor with a 4 bottom plow. Maybe good sandy soil?? Ric.

    found under the work bench

    Leroy; I checked they are right handed ok but not knowing how to measure for sure I layed them on a 2x10 with the shin lined up with the edge then went down the plank until across from the tail edge and measured across the plank at the furtherest part of the cutting edge. Measures just over...

    Vemeer 604j Baler

    Dont know why it was omitted from your manual. Mine shows hydrolic, electric, and netrap. If I have a bale sitting in the chamber, I dont dare run the twine tubes in and out as they will catch on the belts or something and bend them. If its turning ok but if I stop to rethread or something I...

    found under the work bench

    Farmallb: I was raised on a farm 6 mi N/E of Holton and now live 1 mile further east. I've been going to ask you to post pictures of you CC, as dad owned one in the late 40s. I never saw it for I was born in 54 and I think dad traded it for a WD in 51. I've looked at a lot of tractor gatherings...

    found under the work bench

    While cleaning out a shed on an old farm stead, I found, along with some other things, two JD plow shares. I measured them as 14 inches and they have never been in the ground after they were repointed. They have had new points welded on them and they look like new. They have one mounting bolt...

    What Do You Think of This Gooseneck Trailer? (PICS)

    Maybe the angle of the photo but looks like to me the axels are way back there, putting more waight on the truck than should be? I do like the location of the jacks on the front better that the one I worked on friday. His were welded to the front of the bed with no bracing to the frame. He...

    Be safe! Be smart! Be Careful

    Some times we want the children to have fun so badly that we dont think things thru carefully. You have to remember that the portion of the brain that ties consequences to actions is not fully developed until the age of twenty. She may have seen you move the lever but couldnt comprehend the...

    ot basment

    please be carefull. OSHA would shut you down in a wink of an eye if they knew you didnt have shoring on that dirt. I know it is most likely vergin and wont move under normal conditions but. Id spend no time down there with out a ladder within arms reach and that may not be enough if things shift.

    If thats the case how come these landscape shows on TV the wife loves to watch, have exotic plants from Africa and other places. I think maybe thats where we get these unusual weeds now.

    (OT) Think I'm gonna be sick #2...

    Guy I worked with was on a service call. As he was leaving the lady's cat ran under van and was hit. Lady went off on him and ended with "she is a mother with 3 kittens, what am I supposed to do now"? He told her,"I'll drive around the block a few times, send em out one at a time!" Same guy...
