Also, the blower looks to be smaller than your real one.

Nice try but that is OBVIOUSLY AI, as we all know your mullet is nowhere near that impressive IRL!

You know your collection of IH construction equipment won't be really complete until you have one, right...?

One time when I called Rowse to order parts, they told me they would buy used heads when they ran across them, told me I could call them if I ever ran across any I wanted to sell.

Any IH balanced head mower. I have 3, use them for hay, very reliable. IH also made them for New Idea and Ford. So if you find a later model Ford or a New Idea, it may be an IH. Learn to recognize the IH head design and you'll be able to identify it's twins. IH balanced heads are the best sickle mowers, in my opinion. New Holland 450 and 451 second. John Deere 350 a distant 3rd...

Wow, I am super jealous! That mower... I think I have a manual for the mower. Is it a 7'? Is it hydraulic driven? The head looks to be a standard IH balanced head. Best of luck getting it going! Start with the simple stuff... As complete as that tractor looks, I predict either a major problem will be apparent with just a little investigation...or it will run again with just a little effort. And if you decide you don't want the mower...well...

2155, 2355, 2555, 2755 all were well thought of around here. There was a good local JD dealer in those days, which helped. Most farms that had one...still have it. Newer tractors came and went, but the 55 series stayed around. Kinda like certain red tractors...856, 966, 1066, 1206 tend to stick around.

That the one you busted the window out of that morning you locked your keys in at the gas station?

Well, here I am back. Switched to a different browser and all seems fine...

What is your DIY method for the euro's, if you wish to share? (Not that I'm likely to kill anything worth messing with!)

Very cool. Should be fun! BUT make sure she keeps a CLOSE eye on coolant level... That engine likes to slowly consume coolant... Not a huge deal if you keep it topped off, but its pretty common for those to get low on coolant and blow the head gasket and warp the head, because the owner wasn't paying attention. Ford added a low coolant sensor as a bandaid. But its better to learn to check the coolant often.

Nice! I had one of those it was fun AND economical. Is that one a 1.0 or 1.6? Is it a manual ("standard" to you)?

Hi all. What the title says: The forums haven't been working for the last few weeks on my Android phone web browser. It is the standard android browser that looks like the planet Saturn. When I try to pull up the forums, I get a "403-Forbidden" message. I have tried the usual "clear the cache/clear the cookies" multiple times to no effect. HELP! My smartphone is of no purpose to me anymore, might as well go back to a flip phone! @FARMALL51? EDIT- Didn't mean to put this on the Projects board. Sorry. I'm just not used to navigating the site on a PC, I guess!

Saw one on a 80s Ford truck a couple months ago: It's a hybrid - It burns gas AND oil!

We had them one time in a load of baled straw, from western KY, maybe? Somebody told us they were "turkey mites." I don't know if that's correct, but they were bad news until that straw was gone!
