Working in the shop just before dinner and I screwed up. Needed a couple of thick bushing stock with a 1 in. hole but did not have any-had 7/8th so I put my 1 in. drill bit in my drill press to make my own. Used my big jaw vise grips to hold it on a piece of 2x4--Oiled it up and was working good but quicker the you could say oh shi-the vise grip was jerked out on my hand and came around and caught my ol coat and pulled me against the drill press real hard.

Got tore up pretty good--The Wife says she is not going to fix it this time

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
