Necessity is the mother of invention? It is also the mother of "get off your butt and get that project done that you have been dragging your feet on."
My FIL got quite ill in late March. It became obvious he was going to have a real struggle getting his spring field work done and corn in.
I picked up some drag sections for my disc a while ago. They weren't the right ones, they came off a Deere that has a frame straight across the back. My frame follows the gangs. No problem, I have until fall before I need to work up any of my hay ground, I can come up with something by then.
I figured it would be really helpful to jump in to his field work with my equipment, leaving his free for him to do what he could with, or if another family member wanted to help out. The thing was, it would be really nice to have that drag mounted.
About 3 weeks ago I got the metal to build the toolbar. I started mocking it up at 3pm. By 7pm it was welded up, cleaned up and painted. By 9pm the sections were mounted and I was heading for the field to make some adjustments.
Finished the last of the discing on Saturday. The setup worked really well. Now if only I could stay that productive and finish all my other some day projects.. BW

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
