We have the old ones out and I’m guessing that was the “easy part “

It was hard enough getting the bolts out. I’m sure it’s going to be a pain getting them back in.

We still need some parts before we can put new covers in. Will do some work to the rotor while the covers are off

We have been getting a lot done in the shop lately.

We almost have the combines finished. Might be a few little things, but we have both rotor covers installed and everything put back on the rotors. We have the concaves changed for wheat and the grates fixed up and reinstalled.

It’s a poor place to get at but we had just the right man for the job. He’s tall and skinny and has long arms. He actually looked comfortable in there.

Got the front two in here.

Don’t know if you can see the leg and butt of the guy inside on second picture. Blue coveralls just behind the clean grain elevator.

Yesterday one of my cousins called and asked if we had time for a visit. We live about hour away so it’s nice to see them.

They stopped over and we visited till well after dark.

I’m starting to really appreciate how many creative cousins I have. We just always have to be tinkering with something.

Anyway my cousin knows I make wooden bows and such.

He makes stuff from old bolts and nuts. Stuff that comes from the shop.

He gifted me this archer.

I love it.
