If you go to a place that builds commercial fences. Tell them you want to buy a scrap section of Industrial grade galvinized link fence. You DO NOT want anything lighter. Next determin the width drag you want. Six or eight foot fence are very common sizes. You want the "drag" to be almost a 2x3 or 2x4 ratio. I have built two of these and the bigger one is 6x 10 feet and is commercial fence. It drags true and straight and does one bang up job doing dirt on lawn leveling and gravel drives too. The smaller one made out of cheep fence does not track true but it is good for really tight work spaces. At the scrap yard I got hold of two pieces of 2 1/2 galvinized angle when they were modifying the power line towers. This stuff is more than 40 years old and there is not a speck of rust on it. Did a lot of drilling about 3 inches apart and used eye bolts to make little links. Works great. You want one front and back. Used 3/4 black pipe to make a hitch assembly for it.

It will fold up one way or skid all over the place the other way.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
