Sure looks good Mader

Today's project, nice yard fence sure looks nice but what a pita to curve... Place is called Big Timber, don't think there is anything that could remotely qualify for "big timber" for 30 miles

This is mine All original 1972. I bought it new. Has 7000 hours and the original TA. Has had a new clutch and injectors cleaned and tires and that is all. Its had many coats of wax over the years. jerry

I just purchased another 656. Has a Speeco front axle. Seriously considering a narrow front under this one. If I remove the cab........ kinda like the cab on this one.

I cut grass this past weekend with the 656 and 80" woods pull type. Compared to my 450 and 560 gassers, it is a much nicer setup. Smoother running (compared to the 4 cylinder), easier getting on/off, better controls. hydraulics, trans, seat, etc. I will say the 656 notices loads more than the 450. The 450 just walks along, not caring about the mower. I put a 660 governor spring on my 560 years ago so that thing winds up to about 2100 rpm, will hit near 20 mph going down the road (when the stupid brakes aren't locking up). I got the original NF with the 656. Been tossing around the idea of reinstalling that. The Schwartz axle has some play in the steering arm splines. Chris B.

300U is a solid tractor . Weak spot is steering box , If you find an extra one snap it up for parts Looks like all you need is a set of flat back IH lights and your complete. Enjoy, Tony

Great looking 300. I have one that I bought, but it was sick when I brought it home. I too added an electronic ignition, new seat, hydraulic hoses for the lift cylinder, and then a camshaft. Mine would run fair for a few days, then like crap. I scratched my head time after time on what the problem was. I lashed the valves, checked the compression, set the timing, but finally tore it down and found the cam gear in pieces. I installed a used cam and it solved all the issues I had. My 300 is my go-to tractor around here, strong and always starts in the hot or cold. It still has it's work clothes on. Yours looks great...
