Pto Control Levar Fix
Chad Travis, Drasco, Ark.: "The bird beak design on my hand-forged staple puller works great for removing deeply embedded staples from trees and posts. The tool has good balance and feel, and there's a piece of strap metal welded on top to hammer on.
  "The pto control lever on my Deere 5000 series tractor broke off in my hand one day when I was using it, so I decided to replace it with one that I made out of 3/4-in. dia. solid cold-rolled rod. I heated the tubing and made a double bend handle at the top. The handle extends much farther off the operator's platform than the factory one, so now I don't have to reach as far to engage or disengage the pto. And, there's enough room underneath the handle for my chainsaw."
