I had a good harvest season with no breakdowns on my JD 6620 combine and all was going very well until I stared plowing. First I plowed about 20 acres of sod without any problems and then I started to plow down corn stalks on a combined field. Plowed the first 15 acres without any problems and started on the next field when trouble began. The corn stalks began plugging the plow every few feet even though it had not plugged on the first field.
I looked the plow over and found that one of the shares had been bent and one of them had a broken point. Must have hooked a rock on my last pass on the previous field. So what to do?
No problem, I had a plow already mounted on another tractor so I just used that one. Again no plugging and I had nearly finished plowing, in fact I was making my last pass, when, bang, one of the front wheels suddenly fell of the tractor and I was done.
We had been having trouble with that wheel in the past and it had been repaired before and it showed no sign of distress but apparently the replacement studs had become fatigued and simply snapped when making a sharp turn.
My point, enjoy the good times when everything works as it should but be aware that sooner or later things are going to take a turn for the worse. I am going to fix the tractor right this time, looks like a new hub, and hope for a return of my good luck. Happy farming

Today's Featured Article - 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
