peer agreement (net): -1storage rack Explanation: There's probably a better word than storage, but that's what comes immediately to mind. The farmer wants a place behind the machine where he can place things. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-07 19:55:18 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A Bock is a frame or structure.

jack-up block, jack Explanation: Bock: Usually a block or structure that serves to support something. I don't really see what this something is in your question. It would fit for a trailing farm machine.

3 hrs confidence:
cut-off or disconnect lug Explanation: Hi Julie! Your context is of course not very helpful. We are dealing with either a place to put things when not in use or an item that turns the equipment off. Can "Bock" be a lug? Yes, according to DeVriess. Can "Abstell" derive from "abstellen" meaning to turn off? Yes, according to DeVriess. Take your best shot, kiddo. |
