Wifey talked me into getting a 3 point post hole digger. You know how that goes, she was just begging me to get one....lol, yeah right. Anyway, I snuck one into the barn while she was off doing girly stuff. You know how that goes too..."Yeah dear, I've had that for a good long while." Rub a little dirt on it and she will never know the difference. Well, I put it together and decided to give it a shot! Went to a secluded area on the other side of the front field where the garden is and lowered it down and it bites right on in. I raised and lowered it as some have written for instructions to help the newbies at this. Well, it started getting pretty deep and the 12" auger was going to town and then it happened! It grabbed a hold of something and went all the way in! I mean to the dang gear box! :shock: I undid the pto shaft and then kept pulling upward with the lift handle to get it loose and it would not budge. The old '52 8N just did not have enough upward lift to budge it. I finally went and got the post hole diggers...the old kind that use to build "character" as your father would say... and dug way down until I had enough of a side hole to release it. Of course you know who got home about that time and she says..."What is that?" Oh crap! Busted! :? "Uh, I found it on the side of the road?" Nah, I used that one last time. Uhm, "I borrowed it", "yeah, that's right, I borrowed it"! "From who", she says. Uhhhmmmm, oh hell, just tell her the truth already. :oops:
Any way, there is a right steep learning curve on these things. If it hadn't got so dang deep, I could have used a pipe to unscrew it, but it had sank all the way to the hilt. Whatever it grabbed would not let go.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
