Subject: RE: what have you repurposed?



I used the frame of a rotting camping trailer to make a 16' flat bed trailer. I used 2x6 and 2x8 foundation grade treated and kiln dried lumber for the new floor and it hasn't shrunk in 20 years.

I converted a Cyclo 400 into a side dresser, driving a JD 7000 liquid fertilizer squeeze pump with the drum drive and took off the seed bin and mounted a liquid tank there. The first time I used it it applied 32% with a 0,75% error in application rate, much smaller than the spreader I had borrowed from the elevator a year of two before that was off about 20%.

I took a sickle mower section and bolted it to the bar on an old hand hoe to make a sharp and precise hoe for weeding beans. It still works in the garden.

I have made an adapter to allow drilling large holes with my 1/2" drive air impact wrench. No torque kick like using an ordinary electric drill.
