Necessity is the mother of invention? It is also the mother of "get off your butt and get that project done that you have been dragging your feet on."
My FIL got quite ill in late March. It became obvious he was going to have a real struggle getting his spring field work done and corn in.
I picked up some drag sections for my disc a while ago. They weren't the right ones, they came off a Deere that has a frame straight across the back. My frame follows the gangs. No problem, I have until fall before I need to work up any of my hay ground, I can come up with something by then.
I figured it would be really helpful to jump in to his field work with my equipment, leaving his free for him to do what he could with, or if another family member wanted to help out. The thing was, it would be really nice to have that drag mounted.
About 3 weeks ago I got the metal to build the toolbar. I started mocking it up at 3pm. By 7pm it was welded up, cleaned up and painted. By 9pm the sections were mounted and I was heading for the field to make some adjustments.
Finished the last of the discing on Saturday. The setup worked really well. Now if only I could stay that productive and finish all my other some day projects.. BW

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
