This Wishek disc I bought it beginning to become a bit of a pain in the ass.
The new center section cylinder showed up yesterday. This one is 4.5 inch so at least the machine will go into the ground straight.
The old cylinder was drilled for 1 inch holes.
The new ones are drilled for 1.5 inch!
Apparently there is a retrofit pin that you can buy. It is 1.5 on one end, is turned to 1 in the middle and then is supplied with a 1.5 ODx1 ID bushing.
I can only assume that it will be 4 days from North Dakota to get them.
So, plan B is to drive to Havre tomorrow morning and buy a foot or two of 1.5 inch stress proof and build my own retrofit pins. FROG SNAX!
My old Atlas with the quarter inch rocker tool post will be earning its keep tomorrow. I just hope I can find my chunk of 1/4 HSS to make a couple tools out of.
On a positive note........the ground is so flipping hard that we have switched to using our other disc instead of the tool bar.
The old Krause is doing a good job of working ahead of the seeder. Slow, but effective. Hired man is headed to Fort Benton for parts in the morning! Nothing too serious.
We are seeding agian after a week long shut down. We just had to scramble to get the pre spraying done and everything worked at least once....mostly twice.
2000 acres of spring wheat to do near the end of May is not a pleasant feeling. Everything has been sprayed that needed sprayed. Everything that needed worked is worked.
My organic ground is a wreck.....just so happens that is where my non functioning Wishek is parked.
Jim, the bottom-stuck was at about 11pm and we hadn’t seen that wet spot. The top-stuck was me getting a little greedy and trying to turn once I’d passed our SxS tracks which were the no-go line.
The tracks are a little past worn on the Cat which doesn’t help.
Anybody have a miracle cure for a respiratory infected cow?
We’ve been injectng her with penicillin for two weeks now and been to the vet twice. She still is short of breath, foaming at the mouth, and sticks her tongue out after walking anywhere.
Vet just says bad infection and were lucky she’s not tits up.
I retired from the Johns Manville asbestos pop tart factory in ‘59, and still never made the connection.—-Slumlord

Nobody’s got a piece of DOM tubing you can make a bushing out of?
