My Old 6' Disk
This disk had been setting in a field for over twenty years. Guy said "I put her in that field twenty + years ago, I don't know if it even turns anymore, it's yours for the taking, come down and get it, I'll help you load it."
Well, I drove that 150 miles down state to get it. I figured a tank of gas and some new bearings would be a small price to pay. As it turns out, it only cost me a tank of gas and a tube of grease. When I got her home, cleaned off the zerks and poured the grease to her. A little water ran out and then some 20 year old grease. Put her to work the same day. SWEEEEEEEET! is the way she cuts up the ground....

I would have to say I'm pretty blessed.
I bought a Greenline posthole digger for $50. The auger was bent (straightend on my cousins hydraulic press) and it needed a new yoke. ($10 and a few minutes work.) Punched about twenty postholes so far, going to really get going as soon as I finish up the field work.
Bought that Dearborn Plow for $125. Put another $150 in new moldboards and shin plates. Any in fair shape were going for $400+. Now I have one in NEW condition for which I paid $275.....
Bought an old 4' IMCO brush mower for $325. Probably paid a little more than I should have, but she's a beauty.
Yeah, I'm pretty blessed, and very thankful for the blessings.
