[AT] drill bits

[Greg Hass]

As to what we call different things in different parts of the country. 
Here in Michigan we have disks and we have harrows, not the same thing; 
just as we have dinner and supper, not lunch and dinner, although that 
is more of a country-city thing. We used to have a pastor who grew up in 
Minnesota and he was wondering what it was that we were always calling a 
harrow as in Minnesota they were called disk harrows. I took him to an 
auction sale and showed him a harrow- a SPRING tooth harrow. I explained 
that here we had two distinct machines; the disk and the harrow whereas 
they had one machine, the disk harrow.
        Another difference was that in Minnesota, used rear axles for 
Farmall M's and Super M's were very hard to get. Turns out their most 
people at the time he grew up had 2 row mounted corn pickers and to 
mount them the rear tires had to be moved to the end of the axle. That 
plus the fact that the pickers were very heavy and add muddy conditions 
and broken rear axes were very common.
