The next picture here is what the digger looked like when I went to get it, it was all rusty and apart, one wheel was off it. There was enough wood work onto it to explain how this digger was built.



I do have a few pieces of original wood I have kept out in my shop which came in very handy in rdoing the project. When I brought the potato digger home I set it up in the back yard to prototype. I used old two by fours and so forth to see what this thing looked like.
Here is the picture of the prototype.
