It's really cool that it even exists. They are fairly rare birds.

Rained all weekend here, I made the 856 1000 lbs heavier, for no real specific reason. Mostly just made the original paint look older now I’m thinking

Got two coats of poly on the walls today among other things. Detail work coming up next.

Or that is what I call it. Daughter found a picture on internet and wanted one for her patio. Took a little head scratching to figure dimensions. In the end was not as tough to build as I expected. She wanted it painted orange. As normal, what daughter wants, she gets!

Just took the 986 for a spin around the block. Had to show off the red power demo tribute decals to the neighbors ya know...

Fixed the front headlights on the 5088 and radio. The 5088, round baler, 7140, and discbine got greased and all the fluids were checked and began first cutting.

On the NYDOT med certificate page, in the top right corner, click the menu bar, on the drop down menu go down to language, change it to Hindi, it will go right through.

NY, Schumer, Doctor, DOT, what can possibly go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong?

Or jerking the steering wheel while cranking!

Grabbing the flywheel to spin it or a can of ether each time?

That did not take long

Made some rows built basically row busters just need to figure something to flatten the rows to run the seeder over

Stopped at a friend's place yesterday, he had just finished cleaning corn out of a bin. We walk around talking and looking at different things, like the tires going on his 1660. I look over in the corner of his shed and there sits a magnum 18 Kohler! What are you going to do with that??? He says it's for an 1872 he bought for parts. Well, after some talking the 1872 and engine are heading this way. He had bought it for one spindle and steering arm. I told him it would be easier to just change them out with new ones. He's trying to clean stuff up and agreed to sell. NO pictures as yet. He's going to deliver Sunday it sounds like. Has a good looking 50C deck on it and I just ordered a set of Oregon blades for same. When I get this thing running, probably order another set.

Y'all knew I was going to do it... Tribute Demo Tractor Really need to paint the rest of it lol. Poor ole 986.... I've heard red power branding irons adds 20hp...

Fits like a glove , 5 stars.

I figured it was the pony motor giving problems.

After further reading I guess what killed it was the starting procedure

Yes, would like to buy the complete set up.

It would take a year to clean a path back to it.

Thanks for the help guys - - welded a 3/4” nut onto the plug & it came free so easily that I thought my weld didn’t stick. But it did. Fluids changed & ready to start raking.

Beautiful start to the day.

A couple sunsets this past weekend at out cabin.

My wife snapped this pic a couple nights ago.

Might have worked if they hadn't put the sign up telling the geese he was fake

The last one I had around 3 years ago I didn’t even start the prep until 4 in the afternoon instead of like 8 in the morning. Best of all no Gatorade! I hate that stuff because all it makes me think of is prepping for a colonoscopy !😎

That ain’t gonna end well unless the dual hub is decorative only. Those clamp hubs give trouble enough under ideal conditions. Shimming is an invitation for trouble.

Prepping is certainly the inconvenient part however it has gotten much easier these days. It’s not near as drawn out and involved as it once was.

https://www.cologuard.com Easy peasy. Check with your doctor. This method of testing may work for you. If not, than you may have to resort to colonoscopy.

That’s a very good looking 856!!

Manual brakes -- but not power if the MCV is not making pressure There are a couple of places to check pressure but the line heading to the brake valve is easiest for me kinda depends on what fittings you have handy also

Well, the deck (46") for the 1864 from **** showed up, and 2 idlers and the big double drive pulley have bad bearings. Looks like they are 6203 bearings so I ordered up a few and we'll see how it goes. Also got my project 2182 home over the weekend. Hopefully at some point this summer I'll get to work on one of my own tractors.

Who counted?

Both, according to the hood decal 🤠

I went to Arizona 7 months ago. Had 3 2006 F350s 6.0s lined up. I never booked a return ticket as the one I really wanted I talked to the guy for a month and when we got there it had blown head gaskets and the cab mounts were exploded. Ended up in a bar with my aunt and dad eating lunch and she found me one on Facebook that was exactly what I wanted. 2006 crew cab long box 6.0 lariat with floor shift 4x4. Went and bought it on the spot and drove it 35 hours straight home with me and dad taking shifts. Only issue I’ve had to far is I had to get the title bonded when I tried to transfer it. Other then that I’ve changed all the sensors and tuned it and has been a great pickup. Has 221000 on the clock but if it explodes it’s 12k for a long block with better internals or 3,800 for a inframe kit. Take your time and do some looking there is some deals to be had. I only paid 10500 for this truck and I couldn’t find a cab to fix my other 2006 for less then 5000

With my little problem going on Mayo left a message , time for another one, top and bottom, last one was in dec, looks like s good idea though

Change oil in your final drives. Just doing one how that has less than 700 hours. Nobody has checked / serviced the final drive planets. Bobcat wanted over 6000.00 per side, thought I was going to rebuild them as hydraulic motor is in very good condition. Turns out can't get individual parts for planets, seal kit to go thru motor to get to planet along with planet is close to 4500. Turns out that thru Bosch we was able to get brand new complete final drives for less than Bobcat wanted for the parts.

That engine is a 310 in a 756. Front sheet metal side panels where the number emblem is, are red on 756, white on 706.

The view outside the shop door lay Friday

Walked around the resevoir you can see in the previous pictures this evening 🙂

I live in a village that sits in the bottom of a gorge and have been going on a lot of walks the past couple weeks to clear my head. Lucky enough to see this stunning sunset 😍 (the reservoir in the background)

Up and out for a morning walk before the kids have even opened their little eyes this morning! Peace and quiet..

Indeed, I have... I grew up in Sidcup, which is a part of Kent closer to London - the cliffs are on the Kent coast southeast of where I grew up, they were around an hour from home but we went there a few times growing up... We later moved to the South West of England when I was 10.. quite a culture shock to move from the city to the countryside but its the best thing I think my parents could have done for us, they still have their London accents whereas I sound a little more west country, although it really depends on who I've been spending more time with 😅

Shortest sunset that I have ever seen. The sun was below the horizon for literally three minutes before it rose again! Incidentally it was the first sunset that I had seen in three and a half months there at McMurdo Station…. That was at 01:30 NZDT on February 20th. This past Friday, April 24th, the sun set and will not rise again down there until mid October!

Leaving the farm last night 🧡
