Here's a pic of the soil ripper put back together. It's iron sulfide black now. Might leave it that way. Can't really paint until spring/summer.
Both links are shortened for transport. Can lengthen them for leveling it for use. One link is the top link on the drawbar. The other goes back to a dual set of bars attached to the 2" bar of the ripper. Works pretty good. Designed it myself. Cost $75 worth of materials. My friend who gave me the ripper (used to use it on his 1951 JD M, that he still has) works in a machine shop and did the metal bending and welding on the top part of the drawbar design.
