Now, how's this the shaft to and theft coupler snapped right in half major force. Here's the joint that cracked in half that's two inches across.

A

Here's how the new joint is going to much stiffer construction, not relying on the shaft itself, with actual support first mark out the hole for the bushing here, just mark the location, I just use a spiritualist catch I'm cutting out holes for the gussets here. These are the gussets. The supporting structure for the shot.

Here's how the couplers, coming together the shaft slides inside into the bushing here's the joint, are ready for welding here. This is how it will attach to the tractor. This is the rotating pivot for turning left and right. Here's, the tractor generator welding equipment and well.

A

Halfway through get a new spool of welding wire.

A

Okay, here's the joint on the tractor as installed right here and the shaft for rotation will go through it. So this is the tractor.

A

You.

Okay, now this is the result of the tooth bucket. You see that the bucket pretty much goes right into the ground. It was a few passes, but I'm digging right in there and the teeth are working extremely well.

A

We dug about five tons. Then it started raining. Try to cover the side with plastic.

A

Now, here's an anomaly: it's nearing November and this apple tree has flowers I.

A

Just came up to life, I mean I was hibernating.

A

I mean this is like Guinness Book of World, Records I. Don't know this might be well, let's just say it's extremely exciting because it breaks all rules and it shows how there's exceptions to everything which is total inspiration.
