the old rusty ones took forever. Some I was able to loosen right off, but others were very stubborn, and a big handful of them I had to get the drill and drill out the smooth tops. Didn't realize it needed that many. Actually could use another 4.
Sounds really involved rebuilding those machines. I am not at all familiar with them, but I know rust. Do you have air tools? Or even an electric grinder to take off old fasteners that you know can't be saved. Again, I don't know exactly what you're dealing with, but the grinder--and torch--are my friends when getting through nuts and bolts that aren't going to come off the way they're supposed to. If you go that route, I'd wear a mask because that grinder material can be made of nasty stuff.
Hosing off the ponies sounds like fun, been a heat wave here the radio people like to hype. It's actually been really hot--temps near 100 last week. Humid, too. My kind of weather. Whole house AC is broken since about two years ago. Repair guys came and stopped short of actually fixing it, so I've been doing without. It's not too bad. This evening I took a salvage yard door that was taking up space in my shop and finally put it on my truck. Not really a pressing issue, but it was just sitting around, and now I can take the truck door and toss it out, and free up the space the replacement was using. Took a few minutes to figure out how to wrangle the door single-handedly. It's one of those mini half-doors the Ford pickups have. Not real heavy but bulky to deal with. For the rake, it must look great with new teeth--please post pics when you have it all together. Jumping around topic-wise, but that's about how it's been going lately.
TF--thanks, I'll follow up with email. Do you know how to make email "Open" on this site? I know I've emailed ppl before but I forget how all that worked. Was thinking of stopping in and seeing Josh and Ira, but I've never discussed buying anything from them. I just like looking at their stuff. Oh--I looked at that Jet Star made by MM. I think it's worth the money he's asking. Good project, needs lots of work--and, yes a branch fell on it so that's why it's a bit crumpled up top. What I figured when I saw the photos. Guy is big into tractors, has too many, bought this one few years back to save from the scrap pile, and the way it sits is how he bought it. Looks pretty complete with remotes on the back and two hydraulic lines going forward--maybe for a loader? If I can help, let me know, but you can probably make a deal with him and let it sit until you're ready to pick up. It's way out back in the woods, about 200 acre farm with crops and cattle. It's not bothering anyone.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
