I grew up with hammer mills run by belt. We put a half twist on the belt to make the hammer mill run the correct direction. The hammer mills were stationary so using the old tracts made lining up pretty easy. My earliest memory was when Dad was using the JD 1929 D. He used a split "V" block of wood to hold the tractor back. I was afraid of the "D" because it would "crack" and send sparks out the exhaust pipe on the left side we he slowed the tractor down when he finished grinding. It took ALOT of coaxing to get me to remove the block from the front wheel. Later he used the JD 1946 A to run the Montgomery Wards hammer mill. In 1969 we tore down the old double corn crib (That story is in "The Corn Cribs: Every Corn Belt Farm Had One"). We then built a double corn crib and put a Montgomery Wards "Grain Buster" with a traveling feed table mounted on two 6' channel irons to we could place it in the drive way of the corn crib 3 different positions and scoop the ear corn directly from the driveway or the cribs. We used an old galvanized water tank to grind into. We had to feed the mill a little slow when the "A" was on it, but by this time Dad had purchaced a JD 1951 "G" to run it and we could scoop as fast as we wanted to. It was work, but very good memories. Unfortunately Dad died in the Fall of 1970 and only used the corn crib for one year. So I used it several more years until I put up a used 20' x 35' used Harv. My back aches went away!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
