Many many years ago on a JD feild chopper the PTO shaft would whip just a little bit. My dad was working part time at a place that had all kinds of teflon blocks used as bearings. He was allowed to take two pieces and the machinist line boared them and drilled mounting holes across. Even taped a zirk fitting in. Took the two halfs and bolted everything up on the center of the tounge shield bracket. Gave it a shot of grease and it lasted for years.

For the guys in my area, you wouldn't beleave how many mills were up and down the Delaware river 150 years ago.

They would get flooded, washed away, burnt, blow up, and they would just rebuild them. Fun researching.

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
