I got the PTO on the 1850 fixed in time to go on a 3 day tractor ride. Came home and hooked onto the 15' Lundell flail cutter and started mowing weeds in new CRP. I noticed that the key in one of the drive sprockets was working it's way out, so I drove it back in and tightened set screw and went back to mowing. When I quit for the night, I was looking it over and saw that the sprocket was split in the middle. I got it apart Saturday afternoon and when the sprocket came off, the shaft was about 3/4" higher than the shaft it lines up with. I went to Farm & Fleet looking for a weld a sprocket. 1 1/2" bore with a 1/4"keyway and 16 tooth #50 chain. They had 1 hub that was 1 1/2" and 1 16 tooth sprocket but it has 3/8" keyway in it. Since the keyway on the shaft is wallowed out, I thought about working on it with the hand grinder till the 3/8" key fit and go that route, then I tried to put the sprocket on the hub. Hole in sprocket is smaller than the hub. So I will go to Motion Industries tomorrow and see if they can come up with a 16 tooth 1 1/2" sprocket that will work. Still not sure what I'll do about the keyway. My first thought was to V the split with the grinder and weld it back together, but it looks like cast iron, so I don't think that idea is going to work. My wife thinks I'm having fun! Chris

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
