Re: New project 1975 Ford 5000

well it's been a few weeks and been busy,

It is time to get some potatoes in the ground, all these years I have used a hoe..or is it Ho' to dig rows...that sucks so I built this "row-er" or what ever it is called

I purchased 2 row crop sweeper things from Agri supply, main purpose was to use them on my hiller etc to break up the dirt that was compacted by my tires, I thought as a went looking for ho's the other morning...that sounds bad hugh :laughing: how to do this with my tractor?

I saw them laying on the trailer and said "if I could hold them behind tractor and pull them..." out came cutoff wheels, grinder and welder

I needed an adjustable clamps so I welded this up and used pennies for a .06 gap..

Cool fabrication. As for the 2 dollar pin, sometimes it's more fun to make the cheap stuff than to stop and go buy it.

Then it's no longer a 2 dollar pin if you have to drive that far. ;-)
