[AT] Drill Problem

[Gene Dotson]

    Richard;
    I have had good luck drilling hardened steel with carbide tipped masonry
drills. Works great on those hardened manifold studs.
    I knew that someday someone would have a problen and I could offer this
solution. Let us all know how it works.
    Cow stanchions definitely come under the guidelines of old agriculture
equipment.

                            Gene

: I need to drill a few more 3/8 holes in my cow stanchions.  I tried using my
normal drills but they quickly became very dull.  I suspect that the stachions
are "hardened" steel.
:
: Does any one know how do do this or what kind of drill bit to use?

: P. S.  If you really need a tractor reference......The stanchions hold the
cows which eat the hay that comes from the field which is plowed with one of my
tractors!
