A Word to the wise here , Adding weight is a vary good idea BUT yes you had a wooden frame hold them for NORMAL movement BUT IF you were to hit something you now have four 80 Lb Missiles that will travel at the speed of light thru that wood like they were tooth picks . I plowed snow for 20 years and carried added weight a lot more then just four suitcase weights . I used my I H rear weight set on my pulling weight wheel brackets and set them in the bed with the back hoe on to two 3/4 inch Bolts coming un thru the floor off brackets that were Bolted to the frame After they Shell we say moved once from the back to the ft. adding new fetures to the in bed tool box and ft of the bed and back of the cab when i found a curb while plowing a new apartment complex . Never hurt the plow but that sudden stop at ten MPH sure moved them two racks with eight 150 lb weights setting on them. I was also involved in a head on crash ( not my fault ) and that time i happend to have a 4x8 sheet of 3/16th plate layen on a 3/4 inch piece of plywood setting tight up against the ft. of the bed that i had picked up at the place where i bought my steel from i just had not taken it out yet and that sheet even though it was tight up against the bed WENT THRU the bed and THRU the back of the cab and half way thru the seat . And it did not have any chance of gaining any speed like those weights just setting in that wood box.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
