Let me guess. Sprite for propulsion gas, prune juice to liquefy and butter to grease the ways. Think I'll look for another bathroom.

Old(er) Mennonite religious order. Strictness is all over the board. Some require farm implements with wheels to be on steel as well. In general denial of some modern technology is to lead to religious purity.

I think I saw this place on "Clarkson's Farm" when they visited it in the Netherlands. The show is interesting as is "This Farming Life." All I can say is that I would not want to be a farmer in the UK. The government, even at the lowest level, seems to want to put every farmer out of business there. Stuck in their own arrogant ways it appears to me. Of course, I guess that's just how government pretty much is anywhere....🙄😉

A couple of quarts oil is still a lot less than a $50+ paper air filter.

Well, I found something odd yesterday. Again, thank you FarmerFixEmUp for the diagram- it was very helpful. Checked all the wires yesterday from starter up- good. Nothing by-passed. Checked switch again for function using ohms setting on meter- OL closed and resistance and tone when switch depressed. Procured a cold snack and stared at it a while. Decided to hook a jumper wire from the battery to the key switch input of the clutch switch- 12.79V, checked the output side to starter- 12.79V with the switch not depressed. Switch on the way.

What is this rain you speak of?😁

You have to advocate for yourself to your doctor. My oncologist was/is very responsive if I call them, but if I don’t call, I don’t hear much out of them between appointments. Before my mother in law died, I begged her to just call her doctor. She could not admit her situation and saying it out loud made it real. She spent the last part of her life in constant pain because of it. We went to the same hospital and my experience was totally different than hers because she refused to advocate for herself.

I would guess that the main reason they went away is the maintenance. It can be a dirty, messy job and you have to dispose of the oil. Pleated paper is cleaner and quicker to change or clean.

It's not me that has the Super C. No idea who it is either as they weren't a member of our club. ['m 86 this September and hope to get all the ducks lined up before my expiration date comes up. Going to haul some things to a consignment auction in Sept. so all the bigger stuff will be gone. I'm at peace with my situation and God and I are okay. It only took 66 yrs. to find out that it wasn't about me but about God and me working together following his plan and not mine!

There's nothing wrong with an oil bath air filter. I always heard that they were actually more efficient than the paper element type. They certainly do seem to catch a lot of dirt. Just be sure to keep the oil topped up and every few years take the metal part out and clean it in a bucket of diesel fuel.

Heads up! Pun intended. Tonight is the peak night for the annual summertime Perseids meteor shower. The shower should pick up in intensity after midnight, with the most frequent sighting of meteors predicted to come between 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM. The Moonshine light will not be a factor this year. Happy viewing. In other night sky news- Winter is coming. I was outside early this morning around 4:30 AM CST, and noticed that the Winter time constellations Orion the Hunter, and Taurus the Bull are already rising in the pre-dawn sky in the east. Along with the Pleiades star cluster, aka the Seven Sisters. Come winter these three well known night sky objects will be high in our winter night time sky, but, they are already making their appearance in the eastern pre-dawn sky. Where has the summer gone? …..hope for clear skies tonight for the meteor shower.

Still not fixed yet. Either it's not a priority or it's a much more complicated issue than originally thought. Do other types of pictures work?

They can also sell paper elements. Honestly, both are very tolerant of neglect.

Delicate hammer and anvil work will fix it. Straightened many a cover on the side of the drawbar. For replacements the one on your 66 will work.

...I started with this prostate business about 35 yrs gone....Went thru various treatment scenario's...some cost a lot of dollars....some seemed to do little to help ,but eventually settled into a 'system'' which calmed everything down to the degree that although the PSA remains around 10 to 12...I am still above the grass, and without pain or seemingly ,any terminal issues !! One of the most basic things that helped was consuming a lot of clean water...instead of tea/coffee/sweet coffee/soft drink etc etc...also , I never saw any merit in drinking alcohol................ Re the dreaded constipation....I exchanged the ''macho'' breakfasts of Bacon eggs hash browns etc to fruit and nuts yogurt etc, and that immediately sorted those issues...put them behind me...as it were.... That form of diet caused me to become an object of some amusement , by my ''dirt crew'' work Mates....and following a sudden heavy snow storm whilst working up in the hills with all roading machinery, we had to get out via loaded 6x4 trucks (Macks ) because the combination of snow and mud and a river crossing made it impossible for the small 4x4 utes ....thus the trucks were going to be very crowded....so because of my lunch box was full of fruit and nuts and other 'woke' food...one bloke said ''don't worry about Mike....he can flap up into the trees and roost there for the night...'' You had to be there... Mike (Best of luck, @augercreek with your health..... )

Used to be a lot of vegetables grown here so I can easily see the Hydro 86 sold new here for work. IH Hydro's were very popular for planting, transplanting, cultivating, and harvesting. If I had to guess the 656 Hydro and 1066 Hydro were the top sellers. High crops were less common but around nonetheless. Mostly IH, JD, Ford, and few Olivers.

A local guy here had a hi-crop 4440, could have been a 4240. He was a collector. Nothing like that would have been sold new here. He had a hard time selling it. I’m sure it was fairly rare, but it did not sell for near as much as a regular 4440 would have brought. It was so cheap I thought about it, but I couldn’t think of anything we could have used it for other than looking at it.

That's insane! You need a vehicle made from corrosion resistant materials like plastic, stainless or something other than steel. Wood would last longer...

In the town I live in we had 155 or so fire hydrants. Town is about 1.5 mile square. I painted every one of them doing my stint in the big house.

I am still using an IH 3300B skid loader Thought those '4000 series had a manual bypass on the pump so one could roll the machine on a trailer We had a furniture factory that had 2 of the 4140 (hmm or was it 4150) used one to load a boiler they used to make steam for the kiln and heat the factory -- been several years since I have seen those machines

Steel also limits going down the highway so that you are not trying to farm all you can see from the closest high hill in effort to keep as many farming as is possible. Neal

Steel wheels would make a great brushing tractor. No flats from thorns.

A fellow wants to buy the belt pulley attachment for his 300 utility that bolts to the back of the PTO. Any thoughts on a fair price to ask for one in usable condition? Thanks, Bill

If in pain, double the dose of Milk of Magnesium and wash down with a big glass of water. The more water you can drink, the better. Get cleaned out and then maintain hopefully with Miralax and a lot of water.

I thank you all for your prayers and well wish's' I haven't had to take any pain killers for five days now thanks be to God and all of your prayers! May God bless you all.

He never had to fix a flat on a tractor

Fire hydrant s in Cody. Don't know how far apart. Scattered around. Rural, we have four 6x6 tenders, 1500 to 2000 gallon capacity. One 3000 gallon semi/straight truck All trucks are draft capable. River , creeks, stock tanks. Can load themselves if needed Those with center pivot irrigation. If the well is easily accessible, will have a valve and 2" line so we can kick the well on and bottom fill any of our trucks. Water is King

Had a few fails on reman units -- I air test each one while the TA housing is still off the tractor -- had a couple of saw horses that I sit the housing on when installing the unit -- done TA repair in the floor and hanging from a chain hoist , but the saw horse was the best Also a 30" long pipe with a coupler on the end , turned down to fit into the rear bearing -- doubled as a slide hammer for the lower shaft and alignment tool for the gears -- used that pipe to guide the unit into and out of the housing -- just long enough to clear the housing and keep everything together -- made it a one man job

I'm also a big fan of hot peppers to the point of excruciating pain on the front side.

Why don’t you join up and show them how it’s done.

If you had any GM product 40 to 60 years ago, you could replace your worn out engine with an easily attainable and affordable brand new GM engine and have it fit. That was better than any system on the market today. I remember John Deere basically having the same repower deals at one time. Car companies just sell trash because it’s going to be in the scrap yard in 10-15 years anyway. They don’t care if you can fix it.

" A Model A only lasts 15,000 miles". "But I can overhaul the engine for the cost of changing plugs in a 5.4". Over the years we get more power and more longevity but its never free.

after getting out of hospital and eating normal food i had same issue equal parts prune juice and sprite two spoonfuls of melted butter mixed in. stay close to bathroom

The newer tractors are rated way different than the older ones - they make things that look like big garden tractors and rate them at 100hp.... just be aware if buying new! Those TV are a mess to work on - unless it is something simple, sell it and let somebody else work on it. Keep the 986. Good old girl. If you get energized - pull the turbo & manifold off the parts 1486 and stick on it! Don't assume anything about your health. My Dads dad died at 50 - heart attack. Dad spent his last 20 years being kept alive by stints (~25!) - died at 80 from plugged arteries. My Mom's dad had one of the first pacemakers and died at 72. I figured I'd die at 60. I'm 58. Last year had a valve get bad enough that I ended up with open hearts surgery - they fixed the valve and told me its a permanent repair - AND my arteries show no clogging at all! I'll take it! So now I gotta figure I may have another 20, and gotta start planning for a retirement!

Also I work for a rural water district. We serve about 10 small towns population 500 or less. The very smallest we do the curb stops and hydrants. The other towns is just bulk water fill into their reservoirs. All the towns are forced to realize they have no fire protection reserves anymore. The simple fact is the size of line and pressure is impractical to provide fire protection. The amount of water they have in their towers or reservoir is the amount of fire protection water they have. Most have about 20,000 gals of water but that’s not much on a big structure fire.

Exactly. No way would I ever think of removing that. i have two (newer old fords) with the dry filters and four, older old fords, with the oil bath. Infinitely more hours than you’re talking….oil is good. less plumbing and connectors too

I think an oil bath air cleaner might be superior to wondering if you bought a good quality paper filter in this day and age

So , get a look at those two switches -- likely one has been jumpered

In bad conditions, an oil bath air cleaner would need to be serviced after every long day. We have tractors that we farmed with that have oil bath and have never been overhauled. Some have pre-cleaners and if working in dirt they will catch a lot. They didn’t have easy lives, but had very good maintenance. I wouldn’t worry about yours.

Took the fuel line off and blew back through to the tank something must be in the fuel tank seems to run fine now. Thanks

Concur that it has survived 46 years. It has maybe 2000 hours on it in those 50 years. I bought it last winter. I high suspect it was used to plow snow on an asphalt driveway and that's about it. Not the dustiest environment. Not that I'm putting it in the worst environment, but at the same time I'm just asking if a dry element filter would be a better option for air filtering. Even a 1980 diesel engine has a lot tighter tolerances than a 1950s Farmall. I believe oil bath filters really went out of style in the 60's and 70's. I'm assuming there was a reason why, even if it was just ease of maintenance or the need to keep a filter small enough to fit under a hood (dry filter element is more efficient with space). Neither will work well if not maintained.

Had a 1570 in the shop one time that had an internally collapsed fuel line between the filters and injection pump. It would idle fine but put a load on it when you tried to move and it acted like it was out of fuel.

I don't have anything with one anymore but I was always amazed at how much they caught in the oil even at short clean-out intervals. Certainly cheap to maintain.

It’s survived 50 years with an oil bath cleaner and there many other tractors even older still chugging along with the oil bath filters. I don’t see any reason to change it, just be sure to follow the maintenance procedures and clean it out properly when required.

The site is working on the issue, keep checking back.

Beans and oatmeal are good.

Lots of black smoke means not enough air. Air filter is new? Have you verified all intake pieces are clear?
