Working on cleaning the other seed hopper and the spring clip on the lid was broken. I got a piece of spring steel from a strap that was on a pallet and used it. Luckily the other side was still intact so I had a pattern to go by.

Got the press wheels back from powdercoat. They burned them, blasted them, primed them & painted them Cat yellow. Put a little WD-40 on the rubber and slid it back on.

I'm ready to plant corn now, just can't fertilize with it.........yet. I set it as far out as I could get it so I can cultivate with the Cub when I do plant with it. It only goes out to 42" centers, the Cub is set on 44". Close enough.

This planter had a piece of plastic on one of the skids, the other side was gone but the bolts were there. It was worn out! I got to looking around the shop and found some 5/16" UHMW and ask the boss about it, he said cut what you need. Got the sharpie and the skil saw and drill and countersink and wha-la!

Hopper repair has begun. Boss man gave me a piece of steel that's been laying around for a while. I got both ends done so far.

Made some brass inserts for the gears and got them all back on, forgot to take pictures during the process. Got the hopper lid painted as well.
