Sometimes you can draw the moisture out of an assembly like that by putting the object in a sealed tin with common white rice for a couple of days. The rice is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture, and will eventually clear it up. I've used this trick on old mechanical watches (anybody remember those? anybody still wearing one that you have to wind up )?

I've done that with kitty litter.. etc.

I found a part of an old broken plow with my bush hog one day. It made quite a racket as it punched a 1/2 inch hole in the side of my Landpride bushhog and then bounced aroound inside the deck for a few seconds!

Seriously, I also like to hunt with metal detectors and read a couple forums on that sometimes. You guys would be surprised at what a lot of the relic hunters find in plowed fields. Most common thing of course is old coins, but they find lots of military artifacts from fields that were used as camps during the civil/revolutionary wars.

[QUOTE=woodlandfarms; Oh and last week I killed the phone line for the whole road. Amazing how far those metal phone boxes will fly and all those tiny tiny wires they have inside...

I can't even guess how many of those I fixed when I did telephone repair. What was bad was when a PVC pedestal was hogged. They were hard to find because all that was left were little plastic chips.

Worst thing I have ever found was a drill head from a well drilling company. Hit it with my 6' mower and somehow or another it managed to snatch the stump jumper out of the gearbox.

1*How much did the phone company sock you for that?
2*Who paid for that ?

 

[woodlandfarms]

I admitted it and they went... "Well, that was stupid". And i said "Well, it was buried in blackberries" and that was the end of that. I guess I pay for it in my high phone rates.

The phone co. has one of those metal phone boxes on the elect. pole in my front yard.
I've often wondered what would happen if i ever misjudged and got to close and knocked it off the pole with the tractor while mowing around it.
Guess you found out for me

I have been told, but not be a reliable source, that they will not hit you for messing up there boxes. They might nail you for digging up there phone lines, and they will for sure nail you for Fibre. Gas, water and electric will bill you as well.
