To me it looks like a star bit drill, or rock drill, you use with sledge, I have a much used one from my grandfather's time on the railroad.
Here's more info if interested

The star drill passed through some odd and humorous intermediate stages on its way to becoming the electric rotary hammer.

Well....that's interesting, but.....I guess I'll stick with my roto hammer.

 

[Sawdust Man]

Hitch cylinder?
Any idea what it's compatible with?

There was an International 966 tractor on the place.

Whatever you want to use it for I would suppose. Nice galvanized plumbing farmer fitting for the elbow. Single acting cylinder so possibly three point where gravity drops the implement. If hose long enough possibly for semi mount plow.

Dad sent pictures yesterday of rain they got. Wind strong enough I guess it snapped a utility pole about a mile from them. Power off from somewhere around 7 to 10 last night.
Guy on route has all kinds of cars, '63 Continental convertible today.
Took longer today to get home than normal, called 911 after watching someone into the ditch in Diamond, then drove out and was weaving all over the road. Followed and gave directions until stopped by police. They called later and asked what I wanted to do and I just told them I was worried about driver causing a wreck. Far as I could tell no damage to anything, just a menace on the road.
Hitting Lowe's early in the AM for electrical supplies. 200 amp panel for inside shop and few other tidbits to wrap up so stuff. Then call to Liberty(Empire) for meter and extra cost every month.

Morning all. 67° and I hear thunder coming in. Lets hope for some moisture to hit the ground. One week until vacation and have been hit up for fishing trips for the last three weeks. You still have first choice @Workshop if you can clear a day. I just want someone else to clean the fish for a change.

One thing I won’t miss when I retire is being on call.

Looks to be a nice day so far.

Morning Tony.

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

As much as I’d like to go, I’ve got too many irons in the fire for the foreseeable future.

Those things happen, I understand. When cooler weather hits there will be less boats on the water and perhaps we can hit a weekend. Need to wake up Matt some morning and drag him along for the ride like I did last year.

I hear thunder..
That’s a good sign.
Radar says Tony finally gets some water, just not sure how much.
The ponds around here need about 4” in 2 hours to recover.

Getting a little right now. Need to get off my butt and hit Carthage Lowe's.

Good morning.

63/81 & maybe Matt and Tony will share some of their rain?

Heading to another auction today.....


Had a bunch of trailer tires swapped out yesterday.

Just a one way cylinder, used in bar mowers, dump box wagons, two point hitches, batwing mowers & other stuff that needs some extra grunt raising but gravity can take care of the lower process. Probably worth $75 -$125 around here.

You need a tire machine.

I am headed out to an auction as well to look at a barge box wagon for firewood. It has a running gear that says John Deere on it so it will likely go for more than I want to cough up.

We got some rain overnight as well.

Auctions are addictive.

@Sawdust Man

What are barge box wagons going for down in neck of the woods ?
