Yep , i use to do custom combing . I was shelling corn for one guy and i got in one of them as i call them cork screw hills where they seam to twist . I was just getting the field open as i had the head lands open and was making a center path . The combine was a Massey 300 and on the narrow side . I was about half way down the field with the cab on the down hill side and and almost full bin when she just stopped moving forward and sat there . Now what did i break a drive belt ??if something happen in the transmission the final drives , did the drive shaft fall out ??? I stepped on the left brake pedal and nothing happened , then i stepped on the right and she learched forward and leaned a little more to the down hill side and with that i never shifted into rev so fast and turned the back end down hill and run over a bunch of corn getting down to the flat . To get that field done it was a one way operation with the cab on the up hill side and the unload auger out and filled with corn as a balance pole and me standing out on the platform ready to jump . A bit nerve racking to say the least . Next fun filled deal was building a drilling rig location on the side of a steep hill with a 750 John Deere Dozer that is hydastatic drive and have it suck air in the drive system and one min. you moving forward and in half a blink of and eye your full travel rev and you never moved the control lever and it decides to make a quick turn also . . That big caution decal up on the dash telling you to always ware the seat belt was NOT LYING to you . Think of a 22 ton SKID STEER and how they react to fast control movement .

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
