and live in the past for a minute. I have had sooo much fun (yes, sarchasm) this past summer & fall, I forgot to post pictures from the show in Richfield, Wi. & my usual pics of what I'm usually up to.
In short, second cutting was beautiful, third cutting was a hair puller. My third cutting was made a month ago, well after the cut-off date. I ended up cutting hay for a neighbor at the same time. Only had one tractor running at the time & that lasted half-way through haying. The head gasket pooped out on my way home from a second raking. So the merging & baling was powered by my uncle & his Deere "A". The hay that was made was a bit on the damp side, but nothing like the wringing-wet mess we anticipated. All who were involved were quite pleased with the outcome. I thank God we had the long, warm Indian Summer we had!
The tractor show was g-r-e-a-t! I felt awful that I couldn't get the ailing chopper there. Everyone was relieved that the chopper fell apart in the driveway & not on the way to the show. Looking back, I can agree. At the time, I was in a bit of shock. Completely bewildered at how fast the machines "condition" failed so fast. Every other grease fitting I visited wouldn't take ANY grease. The variable drive belt squeals in the first half of it's range. The kingpin, on the rear axle, may never come out & the rollers fell out of the wheel bearings. Etc, etc... So, it stayed home & I went to the show. I focused the camera on a majority of the Gehl stuff that was at the show. They do have a Gehl SP83 Chop-All at the show. That was donated from Gehl's own museum, last fall. This winter, I must learn all I can about our local forage equipment manufacturer. I'll post more Gehl pictures, in the impliments area of the board, this evening after grocery shopping.

P.S. I added a pic of the chipmunk alarm (old-school Metal alarm?) on the chopper & some shoulder work being performed on our road. The township still uses a Hydro 86 that I can remember when it was new. I was happy to see it was still around. They also parked in my hay inverter at the corner of the field. No arguement here, I got a little extra nap in while waiting for them to finish their lunch. My appreciation goes out to them for letting us take the pictures & a job well done!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
