[AT] Quick note about cultivating issue, a thank you

I wanted to thank those on both the farmall and ATIS lists for their help on
my Farmall 100 cultivating issue. We did solve it with reference to the
comments I got. The fix was ridiculously simple and I feel a little
embarassed for not IMMEDIATELY seeing the reason for the problem. The four
bolts that hold the mounting square shaft to the bolster had loosened over
the nearly 60 years and with all of our use the shaft had slipped rightward.
But in our defence, the square shaft also had worn in an odd pattern on the
end and was deceptively "damaged" as a result.
     I now have a much better understanding of how IH did things and feel I
can in the future solve these problems on my own. Thanks to all who offered
assistance and info.
     I still need to get two Farmall 100s rebuilt including possibly a new
block, sigh. The issue is TIME!
           Grant
