Antique wonder

Over the July 4th holiday, while most normal people were off celebrating, my parents joined us for several days of work. Aren't we a fun bunch.

The goal: To put the new-to-us antique cultivator on our antique tractor.

My grandfather bought this Super M tractor the year my dad was born.

Without a manual or even photos from the internet, it took most of the long weekend to piece together what part of the cultivator went where.

During the course of the weekend we discovered the tractor needed more repairs. Naturally. So the guys removed the cultivator and towed the tractor to Duck's--our trusted tractor repairman's shop.

Once the tractor is repaired and cultivator reassembled, this spidery contraption should make short work of future weeds in the chili peppers.
