Monday, i plowed a little patch for rye with the 400 and 311 plow. Killed my back so bad I could hardly move. Good night's sleep fixed that, so Tuesday hooked the IH 475 disk to the 2+2 and smoothed out plowed ground, hooked 966 to the 315 roller harrow and packed the field. So, finally today, got the rye planted with the 460 high utility and IH high wheel drill. I drove this 460 about 64 years ago when Dad borrowed it from a neighbor to rake hay with. Tried to buy it for 20+ years, finally successful in 2020.

Hauled a load of beans to town with the 10. Got another load ready to go, behind the 856 this time. Only pic I have is combining.

Cutting bean of plow day field.

cut beans today this was in the clean grain elevator no clue how it passed the screens but no damage 😂 had to pry it out

Just got done rebuilding this 1936 Coleman 220B for a friend from here on the forum. It had belonged to his parents. Rebuilding 4 Abu Garcia reels. 2x 5000's, a 5000C, and a 5500C. 2 are done and #3 is apart. Working on almost 200rds of 22-250 between shifts at work.

very glad I took this with the showbarn in the pic

My wife and I are preparing to move to Minneapolis MN in 10 days. We currently live in north central North Dakota 50 miles from Canada .We hopefully will be able to come back home in two months so maybe a week or two before Christmas. My wife is scheduled for surgery on Oct. 23 at the University of Minnesota adult hospital. She has been dealing with pancreas problems since she has been very young. She had a radical surgery In 1983 to relieve some of the pancreas drainage problems. But the last 5 years and the last year have been excruciating pain and health issues for her. So the doctors in mnpls decided it is time to remove pancreas to try and relieve other issues it is causing. Her expected hospital stay is 10 to 14 days and needs to be local for the next 8 weeks for outpatient follow care. we have been through the surgery with our two sons so know somewhat how it works. Although wife is different as she has had intestines and other stuff rerouted 43 years ago. And her pancreas is affecting her heart causing issues with that. I will need to be her primary care giver for the 6 weeks or so out of hospital. She will be sent out of hospital with drainage tubes, feeding tubes, glucose monitors and other medicines to control issues that pop up. If you guys do have time please say a prayer for her successful surgery and a somewhat normal life after. We are both working our jobs up to next Friday then leaving on Sunday as there are appointments lined up already on Monday the 19th. And we are finishing harvest and dealing with our little cow operation this and next week.She is hoping to go back to work as a dental hygienist Right after new years. Again if you have a chance say a prayer for her, the doctors say they will definitely be writing a peer review paper on her outcome as it is a very uncommon surgery because of the difficulty presented with her earlier surgery performed.

I'd like the 720 plow but don't need the 986 personally. Recently made the Ertl Hydro 70 into a 686 to resemble my real one. It's not a show winner but it suits me ok.

Got this one this morning on the way to my first job of the day and the other with the corn field on the way back from it

After a few bland cloudless mornings, pretty good color today.

Hope folks don't mind some off color pics. We've been shelling here close to two weeks. Be switching to beans today or tomorrow.

No change on my 0.0001 reading mic. Surface polish basically. I think they’re around $65-70 each… Hope they’re not wrecked!

Nice pics. We have a good dealer here for Gleaners. My Uncle always ran Gleaners. He closed out his farming career with an R62. "Silver Seeder" "Beer Can" "Hog Feeder" (because a lot of hog feeders were also galvanized back then) Grandpa bought a used #55? Gleaner after WW2. He described the used JD he bought when he got home from the service as "enough to make me red after that". He didn't have the JD very many years and wouldn't have another JD tractor the rest of his life.

Love that both of them have the head tilt going on. 😁

The world Famous "Delta Dirt" mailed me some cotton seeds one year. I planted them in my yard per his instruction. It was a lot of fun. I picked it at the end of the season and still have a mason jar packed full. I really miss Anson.

😂😂

Usually at least a couple sets of trains on their sides. I will say I used to be a once a year driver but I was probably safer than the regulars

I have been welding cast with my wire feed welder and had very good luck , grind out the crack and off to the side , like the other guys are telling you some of the cast is very poor quality and you can tell when you grind it , if there is very little sparks it poor quality and then your better off brazing it . If it sparks good when you grind it then your good to weld it , preheat it up to 450 degrees , do your weld and get right back on it with the touch and warm it all back to 450 degrees and then let it cool . I have been welding the 400 series manifolds and have had really good luck with them . I have had a bunch of guys ask me who welded my manifold , just me 👍 Danny

I need to get mine lined up for a photo shoot! But mine aren’t near as purdy

Just stopped at the legion for a cold snack, parked in the good taste in trucks section. Borrowed pops’ ‘68 for a few days.

He likes the sister and uncle, plus grandma is there also but getting up in age. We are lucky both next door neighbors would watch him also. One is a married couple both teach at his school with kids either side of his age and the other neighbor lady is actually his godmother. Both have offered any help needed already. He is going to come back and stay in school at home a week after surgery. Like I said very lucky to have friends and neighbors plus some family that is willing to step up. The joke is my brother is unmarried and no kids so it will be just like the movie Uncle Buck.

l usually had one in whatever truck l was driving but seldom ever talked on them except to find out what door or dock to back up to so l could unload. back in the 80's when l was doing CRP work, we had CB's in all 3 tractors to let the boss know if someone had a problem of some kind. Kind of funny though is that from the late 70's when l got my first CB, my handle was twostepn. Then later when l got into computer groups like yahoo and Red Power l just carried over the same handle.

Friend sent me this pic of a New Mexico sunset from last night. l told him he needs to clean his windshield....lol

I haven't seen a set of them in a long time! Never seen them mounted like this....ever! 😂

Winter is sneaking up quick in the rockies

l didn't know it until a few minutes ago (matter of fact never even heard of it) but today is World Cotton Day. So l thought l'd post a AI pic of one of my drawings. Before: After:

Thanks for help, whatever I did by some miracle it is sitll holding as they are using it right now, they are happy so far, as their repair guy it didnt last 1 hour, the sooner he gets done with his corn chopping the sooner he can come back and help milk cows, They have a crew there today I can hear the old silo filler just a knawing away at the bundles,

Buy two old 460's, restore one and use whatever is leftover to make something like this.

I cut the crosses out with an acetylene torch, usually that’s enough for the caps to come easily, but if not blow a hole in them and they’ll come easily.

That's a WAY bigger radio than I have. Someday when I get rich!

We used them in high school. This was late 90's. No cell phones. I have had a few Cobras. Still have one in the Scout. We used them a lot while Off-roading on trail rides. At home semis run 19 and in HS we ran on 22. Trail rides we just pick an unused channel and stay there. I prefer a K40 or K30 antenna. Never could get good reception with fiberglass antennas. Even using an SWR it wouldn't get out very far.

Someone will need to explain to me why it seems no one gets a runaway engine in gear and bogs the engine out with the brakes. If it is running away on oil it really isn't making that much power . . .

Several small town Coop elevators still use them . When you pull under the probe and identify yourself, what commodity, what your last load was, who your hauling for ect…. Channel is posted on the scale house or somewhere noticeable when you arrive.

now were cooking with Kevin

Beans are coming off!!!!!

Didn`t like the red diesel?

Somebody that shouldn’t have thrown the instructions away when they opened the box

For reverse drag racing.

I found a New Holland swather that is mint. Think it’s from the 60’s maybe? That was my early Christmas present to add to the toy collection.

Hauled my 826 over to my friends farm to plant his cover crop of triticale in soybean stubble.

🙏 prayers from Michigan. May God bless her and your family.
