[AT] drill bits

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

About the bigger hammer, I had a mental lapse and got one last week while 
working on my corn planter. It required some ingenuity and a welder after 
about 5 good whacks. I had the same problem on 2 other units, smoke wrench 
worked much nicer! Just exactly how old do you have to be to know better and 
NOT do it anyway?

And sometimes the answer is just get a bigger hammer or grab a smoke
wrench...
Repair and production are as you have pointed out are two entirely
different worlds.
