It is a Chrony Beta Master with the sky-screens removed, LOL.
There's a number of places that could use it.

I discovered a foolproof rain-maker this AM....
Hadn't thought of that! Still no meaningful rain here since late March. Decided to throw caution to the wind this afternoon and took my ATV out in the pasture in search of my 8 week old Shorthair pup. Turned out he was underneath my deck. Sure sweated it riding even with a new spark arrestor.

I hurried to plant six, 75' rows of 84-day sweet corn on May 1st; looked like it might soak the ground before I finished. All totaled, we haven't had an inch of rain since then. I have FOUR plants with ears on them, even with us watering them. 105+ degree days, for weeks on end, eventually kill them above the ground.
The Chrony trick was only good for a half a tenth. Guess I'll have to take the head off my tractor and leave it uncovered, to get an inch of rain.
