I see what you're saying. It is 1K acres, but the fields are small, 50 acres +or-, so turnaround space is important. And the tractor doesn't fit in various places he needs to go and so on. In the US, it probably wouldn't seem excessive, But the hired hand's tractor makes a good deal more sense.

So, like I said it's at my mother house and my sister said there were no holes, but now she's not so sure, so I suspect you are all right that it's a whopper spigot for a barrel of something. If she can find it again (packing up to sell the house) she will send me a photo of the other end, and...

Thanks.

We are enjoying it. The tractor is a bit silly, but it's all Clarkson.

I would have thought there would be a hole in one end of the other for it to be a spigot.

I don't have the thing at my house - my mother is selling her house and my sister found this in the basement. I don't think it's part of a yoke or harness because it appears to have only been attached at one end. The center parts turns.

The double fluorescent light fixture in my garage has a failure. Both tubes light, but only at half (or less) brightness. Does that mean the ballast is bad, or does it mean one or both bulbs are bad? I guess I could replace both bulbs, but I rather not if the ballast is bad anyway. Cliff
