Been doing a lot of pondering on how to fab up the hyd dump on the new wood hauler. Started out with using one or two old SA cylingers off an old loader that I had. then my focus turned to an old 4x36" DA cylinder that was on the first wood splitter that I built. Dad ran it for years until the I beam rails wore out and the wedge came of and bent the cylinder rod. I salvaged the old DA cylinder that had sat in the woodshed of the saphouse for probably 20yrs and finally got it pulled it apart with my trackhoe and straightened the cyl. rod. My good friend Jon-MN and I have been discussing posabilities and he gave me some sugestions so That I can get 6' of lift from the 3' cylinder. Original plan was a deadman on trailer toung and pully on clevis of cylinder rod, and then attachment point to bottom of dump body, connected with a cable. The problem was that the hyd hose ports were pointing forward and the cable would be interfearing with the fitting and hoses. I ended up deciding to use #50 roller chain instead of cable and fastened the deadman bracket to the top of the cyl. so the pipeing and hoses are free from the chain, plus it will take half as much chain. After fabing the deadman bracket to conform to the outside of the cylinder, it will be welded to the top of the cyl. I remenbered that I had some HD bearings stashed away so I dug them out and built a "toggle bracket with 2 of the bearings for the chain to feed over the rod clevis as the cyl extends. With this design the bottom of the body will be raised 6' when the cyl is fully extended, rather than just 3' if the cyl. was directly connected to the body. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
