You guys know about this Case Centennial Plow I am restoring for Plow Day, and for my collection. When I tore into the plow last fall, one of the wheels have very bad rust holes in ONLY the rim, I asked you guys what to do, and the general consensuses was just swap the center over to a better rim, so I found out the a blank Farmall H front rim was a PERFECT match, and bought one used, in very good condition...
I then took the original wheel, still with the rim on the center, and the new rim to a buddy of my dad's who is a machinist/welder. He had helped me before and said that it would be a piece of cake to swap the center, GREAT!! That was November 3rd...
FINALLY got it back last Tuesday, and Painted it on Wednesday. Let all of the paint set up for a few days, and this morning I mounted the tire on it, along with the other two rims/tires. I bolted all of the tires onto the plow, and then I went to get the floor jack to take the jack-stands out and set the plow on the ground, second I did, the center blows out of the rim, tire/rim go flying, plow tips over and crashes into the concrete floor, one of the handles hit me right in the head and knocked me out cold.... Not to mention very badly scratching my beautiful plow when it hit the ground, (yes, it was VERY nice looking)
Soooo, after a few kid words... :/ I righted the plow, jacked it up, unbolted just the center and put them in my dad's car for him to take tomorrow.
Sooo, after having my wheel for 6 months, and owing my dad a few "favors" he charged me $30 and did such a half a$$ job on it, that it couldn't even support the weight of the d@mn plow!!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
