Yes I made the attachement for the post hole digger. I will post a photo soon. I did not have to modify the original hole digger at all, in fact a friend is using it this winter with his three point tractor to put in some fence posts. I am looking for a three point finish mower like a woods RM-59 (60 inch) or RM-306 (72 inch) to make or buy the adapter to use with my 140. Anyway, back to the garden. After I get the green cover crop in and soil built up. Lets talk about using the planter. As I said it is an old one point Cole duplex. I have way to many plates for it, both right and left handed. Just wondering if raised beds or like a truck farmer would do for planting. I might like to plant peas, string beans, butter beans each with one long row. I might be able to handle this without much in the way of instruction, just want to compare notes with others to use a tractor where before I used hand tools. As to cultivation, I have never mounted the cultivators on the 140. I know that I have several sweeps and may have to get some new ones and sharpent the older ones. How sharp is enough? What depth do you set them at? Using the fertiliser spreader- I have the mid mount spreader that sets in fron of the driver. I have never mounted the chain drive under the left wheel, how do you do this? How do you determine what rate the fertlizer is coming out at? Can you put a "Y" in the system to side dress two side at the time, or should you only dress one side?
I am planning to build a plastic much layer, I may also build some sort of planter to plant through the plastic. Any opinions on using black mulch.
Anyone ever used a rear mount mower like I am looking for? thanks in advance mark

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
