About 10 years ago, my son came home from college in the fall and wanted to help. I had him disking cornstalks and a disk blade broke off. I knew which part of the field he was in when it happened, so I looked for it and never found it. Fast forward 5 or 6 years, I was combining beans in that part of the field, and the old 750 started making a awful banging noise. I checked everything over and couldn't see anything broke on the outside. Took the cover off to look into the cylinder, and there was the broken disk blade laying on the concave getting hit by the cylinder bars. I have found chains and harness rings with the field cultivator. Working for a neighbor when I was a kid, plowing a field and saw a piece of log chain dragging on a plow bottom, he had lost it the year before. Cultivating corn for the same fellow, I found a watch that I had lost the fall before plowing. The band had broken, so I would put it in the small watch pocket in my jeans, must have worked it's way out or else I checked the time and didn't get it pushed back in far enough. It didn't work anymore. When I was telling him about finding the watch, he said that back in the 50's an Air Force plane had crashed in that field and for years after, he would find small pieces of the plane in the dirt.
