funny story::
i think my buddy found the hardest ground to plow yesterday, right here in lancaster,pa.
after hearing about this sears 14hp tractor from back in the 60`s that he was looking for,i found one,running and descent. i bought it $25. and set it in his driveway while he was working.
he was tickled pink and of course right away he wanted a plow for his garden,i had one from a david bradley here i gave him and since then he has been streching yankee enginuity for all its worth to make the 3 point hitch assembly and weld-up all he needed to bolt it all together and have it ready for spring.
until now i have not seen what he was up to with it,but i did get a phone call this afternoon from his wife who invited me up to watch a video she had made but did not say of what content.
so i went up and looked at this video and i still have tears in my eyes and pain in the sides. he took this machine and this plow assembly out back to the garden and attempted to ""try it out "". she has real good close-ups of the top link snapping in two just as the lower arm on the right side bent and snapped off where he welded it to the plow frame. the whole dang thing looked like it was hit by a semi before she caught this wonderful look on his face as he finally turned around to look back at his pride and joy.
she was raised on a farm and tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted went ahead, he now knows by first hand exsperience what she meant when she told him the
"THE GROUNDS TOO HARD , ITS BEEN BELOW FREEZING HERE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS"
so unless your ground has done this to your plow,i think my {embarressed} buddy found the hardest ground to plow ! LOL john
