My Dad could not weld, but he made a few things. One implement was drag made of angle iron, 2 4'x4' sections side by side that was attached under 3pt boom pole with a frame that lifted both pieces side by side. We used it behind our 8n Ford-it was very versatile-you could drag cow patties apart so the grass would not be smothered, and more so- it was great for leveling, and finishing disked ground so you could seed it. His major change/modification was to our Allis Chalmers hay rake. When it was bought it only had 2 wheels. He and my Uncle bought the kit to add 2 extra wheels so it would not drop into ditches and holes. After a short time he moved the extra right front wheel/swivel assembly to the left frame rail, mounted ahead of the area where the windrow was formed. This allowed the rake to not require a stand under the hitch when parked and also still follow contours of the field. Another thing he did was have welded 2 pieces of slotted channel onto our fast hitch drawbar. It could then be attached to some 3pt implements. And another was a I-beam bumper he had made to fit our IH 340u. It was very handy-used to tie a grease gun or a log chain on it with apiece of wire. Probably the best/handiest thing was the fast hitch carry-all. It came 6' wide, 2' deep, and had a 2' high back. He and my Uncle made it 4' deep and added a back 4' high. Being fast hitch it was the most used, most often put on and back off tool we had. I still have it. Mark.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
