Thought I had seen everything, heard everything, and fixed everything. Guess not. Was working on my corn planter today. Started by cutting and digging out the trees that had grown into it.
I cut them off with a chainsaw first, then picked them apart with a claw hammer and dead blow. There was no room to use an ax and I don't have a wood chisel, but the hammers worked well to break them apart.
I was pleasantly surprised that most of the things I thought were rusted solid came loose with just some gentle persuasion with a pipe wrench, the fertilizer augers, planter units, and depth adjusters. All of those I got to came loose easy. So that is good.
The interesting came when I it the fertilizer openers and found this.
I've fixed a lot of things, and seen a lot of things that had been fixed, but this is a first. I wouldn't have believed you could successfully weld a patch on a disc blade, but that is an old enough repair that the patch is worn through. Guess you learn something every day.
