Planted a small area down in the bottom with Tifton 9 Bahia grass.

Did most of the disc harrow work several weeks ago, but overnight temperature was still too cool to plant.

We've also had a lot of rain in the last few weeks and this area was too wet to work.

Spent about an hour on Tuesday picking up sticks and roots to get the area clean.

Came back on Wednesday with "Sam" one of our 1951 MTs and the Brillion 8ft Sure-Stand Seeder to cultipack and prepare the seed bed.

This morning "1011" one of our 1953 Model 70s was used to power the Howse spreader.

Added one 40 pound bag of Tifton 9 Bahia grass seed plus a left over 25 pound bag of Cheyenne Bermuda grass seed.

After spreading all the seed, came back with "Sam" and the cultipacker.

Using the cultpacker after seeding creates better seed-to-soil contact.

Now we pray for rain.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: 1964 JD 2010 Dsl - Part 2 - by Jim Nielsen. Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
