Jason and the Old Timers

[JChuska]

There was a video where Jason was discussing the 3/4” system and at some point he said something like, “The Old Timers were right.”

Well, here’s indirect proof of this. I drove by a half buried 3 point hitch from an old Ford 8N series tractor and thought, that thing looks like the fireball table.

Put it on the table, fit like a glove. Talking 100% dead on, every hole is compatible. Pretty cool. I guess the old timers were right, 3/4 x 2 FTW.

Yes it’s the Standard! Wood workers have been using the layout for a century. You can see why I’m confused why table manufacturers developed different hole sizes and spaces.

That’s a pretty convincing fit test. An 8N hitch landing dead-on across the table holes is a better demonstration of the 3/4-inch pattern than another spec sheet.
