Spray Boom Converted To "Swing Out" Mailbox
M and J Fertilizer, Pana, Ill., came up with this nifty "swing out" mailbox that eliminates the need to cross a road ditch to fetch the mail.
It consists of a section of a pickup spray boom that is just long enough to cross the ditch. It mounts on a 2 1/2-in. dia. steel pipe that's anchored in the ground.
The post is fitted with swiveling brackets that allow the boom to swing back and forth. To get the mail, a pin is simply pulled to swing the boom across the ditch.
