Dad and i were working on planting a field in rye just to keep it from eroding and my brother and myself are gonna try something different with the pumkins next year.
Dad worked it 2x w/ the springtooth on the 285, but it was still pretty chunky from plowing. I worked it one more time with the field cultivator and drag combo behind the 1855. Almost done and I notice both tires on the cultivator were flat. Called dad to bring out the air compresser but then I noticed that one of the tires ad the valve stem almost ripped off. Aired up the other one, but that one is shot too.
Not too disapointed because they were both old cruddy car tires. Bad part is they are bigger 14" tires, so we may have to either cough up some money for implement tires (not really worth it) or go to some 15" rims with a lower profile tire on it to clear the frame if we can't find a pair of tires that we like.
On top of that, dad ran over a nail with the 165 so the front tire on that went flat when he brought out the air compresser to me. Pumped it up and got it home and changed the tire.
While drilling the rye with the 285 and Vanbrunt drill, I noticed 2 of the openers were hanging funny. Looked and sure enough the pin that holds them was gone. Called dad again to bring me out a bolt to put in it's place. Also noticed before dad brought the rest of the seed out that the 285 was almsot out of fuel, so another call to dad to have him bring me 5 gallons just to get done...

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
