I do the same thing with silver paint on my right hydraulic hoses. Works great. I also put a trailer jack on my pull-type bushhog and a heavy wood cart I built for my son. Thinking about putting one on my big disc as well. Big R stores around here and Tractor Supply carry them. Another thing I have done is to put blinker lights on my sickle mower and bushhog when I use them to mow roadsides. I just use an outdoor junction box which I mount on the mower and a big taillight from BR or TS and put a regular car turn signal blinker in line between the power source and the light and put that in the junction box. Then I wire the tractor with a permanent plug in type connector and off we go. I know I could buy a portable blinker light but am so bullheaded that I want to make my own. I also put an extension rod on the hydraulic control on my Super M and also made an eccentric crank to put the PTO in gear which I can reach from the seat without having to reach behind me and pull the lever up as the old tractors were set up with. I also put my starter button and ignition switch on the headlignt bar and installed truck rear view mirrors on each side of the same bar. It isn't pure Farmall but it works for me. Another thing I discovered is that carburetor cleaner softens old paint, then I either blow it off with the air compressor gun or just scrape it off with a putty knife. Carburetor also takes paint off your hands when nothing else will and also takes Sharpie ink off immediately. I use a Sharpie to mark cut lines and drilling holes because I can see them better, then use carburetor cleaner which takes the ink off instantly.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
