    I will post pics when i get back to it. I don't want to fix it, just like to build stuff. Maybe use metal to make another implement that I can use.

    Old non working 3 pt post hole digger/auger.

    That's one good thing about smart phones. I try to take plenty of photos when taking something apart. It's especially good if it's awhile before reassembling it. I also use zip lock bags and Harbor Freight magnetic parts holders. Still, I usually end up losing something or having to redo...

    Decent scratch resistant safety/sunglasses?

    Anyone found decent wearing safety glasses that fit over prescription glasses? I wear safety prescription ones all the time, but sometimes need more protection. I do not want a face shield.

    Iseki vs Shibaura engines on Massey Premium Compact

    My son still uses the Bolens(Iseki) 21 HP tractor that I bought in the mid 70's. No major problems other than replacing the clutch about 20 yrs ago, and replaced water pump bearings once.
