Well, this week, I started working down the road at the dairy farm. I had brought my pallet forks down there to get a 3 piont mount made for them to fit on the back of my dads 3720 Deere. I even had a hole drilled in the forks to move trailers around. Originally, the forks were blue and before that, Yellow. So I decided that they should be black. now they look brand new. 
These forks were given to my step mom when she lived in utah to go on her liitle bobcat skidsteer. They didnt fit on it so she put them on the snowmobile trailer for storage. Then, she met my dad and hauled it up here. It sat in the rain for about 5 years until they wanted to scrap them. Now, I get to try them out tomarrow. Today, I was walking around the dairy farm and found my grandpa's old arena rake. I looked at the teeth (railroad spikes) and they were pretty wore out. Then I spotted some new railroad spikes and went to get the Case 1840 skidsteer. I picked the rake up and hauled it over to the shop to put on the new teeth. The rake has a piece of wide steel that is drug behind by chains and one of the chain links welded to it had snapped. I asked Phillip (the welder and my employer/relative) if he could weld it. Tomarrow, it will be welded and I will haul it home. If only I could paint it. Not very many 13 year olds do what I do. I go to school, then go to work. I cant wait for tomarrow! I will try to get pictures soon!
