THIS Couldda Been Ugly

[MPH 12]

Had my rock grader blade this pm trying to harvest a good rock crop outta my Memorial day project start. Kept grading them into a couple spring drain holes in the yard, got a little close here.

Glad the old Dodge has a push button starter

here's a few shots of what I was doing

done deal

here's the rake

moral of the day 'be careful when playing'

that coulda been REALLY bad...

Ewww.... I'll bet that caused a pucker for a little while.... How did you get off the tractor without causing it to roll on over -- did you bail off into the stream?

Glad you're ok. Seat cover looks ok too. Any finger prints in the steering wheel? [:0]

Marty, You lead an exciting life but try to be a little more careful. Would hate to lose you in a sink hole. Where did you get the grader blade with with all the rake teeth on it?

[D-17_Dave 12]

I can't see what kept it from going on over!! Glad you weren't hurt other than your pride maybe. Roy, it looks like big nails on a grader blade.

Only thing I can see kept it from going over is one of them angles. I got off to the uphill side hangging onto it, not sure why, hadda let go to get the truck anyway. The grader blade I made outta an old chunk of wornout blade from the state hiway dept and welded 52 [think it was] snap tie ends I scrounged from work a couple years ago. You break 'em off after the forms are stripped. There too soft and too close together but it sortta works, better then one with a haqndle on it.

Glad you are ok.The rake looks like it does a good job.You might want to have toilet paper ready so if that happens again you are prepared.

It looks like the blade/rake saved you from going into the crater.

YIKES!! Nothing like an andrenalin rush to make you feel alive. Looks like it will take a while to fill that hole though.....

Nothing like a good old heart stopper, To get it going really good again. Glad you were not hurt, but we all need these reminder to all be more careful.
