Stop in for a cup of coffee

You know you may not be far off from that. Though I'm not part of the millennials, course that depends on who's standards you use. Some say post 1991, others it's 1984- 2000, others have it starting as far back as 1978.


I'm assuming you mean farm equipment. I started driving tractors at the age of 6, before that, I started hooking wagons up at the age of 3. Was on the hay wagons baking hay the following year.
I was rolling bales when I was 3 and 4 get them in a line so the tractor driver didn't have to drive everywhere
 
Just been using the regular flat ended ones. Actually need a new one using the dam thing so much.
 
Good morning guys. Did I hear tool talk? A pin punch has a straight shaft and a roll pin punch has a button on the end to center itself in the roll pin.

I was actually restricted a lot growing up from certain activities due to my uncle having just been killed.
 
I will say this, physical work is even starting to disappear from farming. Automatic hay balers and stackers are becoming affordable. Same with de-tasselers and even tomato pickers now. Soon there won't be any jobs for high school kids or illegals in the ag industry.
 

I sold a lot to the Ag techs. Farm equipment is full of roll pins. I even sold roll pin punches that go in a air chisel. Those really work well!

I have to take a pic of the bushing driver I had the guy down the street make seriously slick for distributors, be back in a few have to start the heat out there also.
 
Manual Detasseling seed corn is mostly done by migrant workers. We have A huge Pioneer Seed Corn plant just south of here. Whty is not done by machine is still done by hand but a lot of the kids don't want to work that hard. They buss migrant workers in and house them in an old church in town.

Home made and handy!

Same. They used to bus them in to do the tomatoes and green beans but that's all but stopped
 
So i also scored on an aluminum radiator, universal with a passenger side inlet. Problem is I think it's too large for the dart or the polara. May make me an engine test stand
 
Here's a video of a Oxbo de-tassler. Small rubber tires spin against each other to grab and pull the tassel out. There's sensors that keep the wheels at the correct height. I sold tools at that shop. Cool machines.

That's cool, never thought about that.
 
I also want him to make me something with a narrow shaft and a disk? on the end to drive them out, has to be crescent shaped, been using a long punch but can see sometime damaging a housing, prob on someone's rare *** one. Tried a inside bearing puller just to awkward to use. He is making me a burinishing bar also that I can just use cutting compound on to align the new ones, hardly ever do it but a must when you change out the bushings in them.
 
When I was up at the farm Junkyard Ken showed me around the new office, sob guess what he has a 10' bed lath back in there, can you say driveshaft!!!!!!
