Featured My newest garbage pick

Found this being thrown away today on the way to my Mom's. Of course I couldn't leave it on the curb. Don't know what I'll do with it as it is completely frozen from rust. Maybe use it as a garden ornament!! Hope you enjoy the pictures and can imagine how it was used many years ago!!

 

Whatever it was, it's garden art now!!

 

Yes - I agree!! It's tilling days are obviously done!

 

It's an antique Roto-tiller?!

 

it looks homemade........

 

Really, Professor? People had to make their own antique Roto-tillers?

 

I'd have snagged it, too. Cool stuff.

 

Looks like it was for furrows. Not necessarily for more than one but for making more than one pass all at once.

 

Politically incorrect humor alert!

See, today, you can just hire Mexicans!

 

Why...do Meheecans have their own roto tillers?

 

For digging tunnels?

 

As El Chapo said (in Spanish, of course)... "If America builds a wall, Mexico builds tunnels!"

 

Ummmmm.....
Am I right then?

 

Is that a Depression-era jury-rig, or even older homebrew? It looks like the sort of thing farmers used to build to get 'er done, before there were any Mexicans available locally to get the job done for them.

 

Jerry rig not jury.
Two very different things indeed.

 

search for antique cultivators, there's lots of them just like yours

 

Can you imagine what it would be like to spend all day breakin' sod with one of those things? Whew!

 

Morale incorrect humor alert! .... It is exact what means.... have their own.....

 

Jerry rig not jury.
Two very different things indeed.

Jury rig, to improvise out of available materials, usually nautical referring to repairs to rigging.

Jerry built, shoddily made with cheap materials, usually applied to speculative building.

Jerry rig - Mast put up by Germans?
