TriStripe1086

Was bush hogging a week ago and was attempting to back up, which I had done successfully several times just a bit earlier. Put the shifter in reverse and eased out on the clutch but noticed I didn't feel any engagement as I let the clutch partially out. I moved shift lever to park and then back to reverse and I eased the clutch completely out this time, but tractor didn't move. I shifted to park and eased the clutch out but tractor tried to move forward, and I could hear some gear grinding. Also, I can't get shifter to move left across center neutral position to go to high or low. I haven't looked under the cab floor plate yet. Is this a linkage problem or internal to the transmission? Of note, this is a factory T/A delete tractor. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Here in north central North Carolina, stripping was also known as when we removed the cured leaves from the tobacco sticks. The sticks with cured tobacco would have been removed from the curing barn and taken to the pack house, or some referred to it as the strip house. It was a building that would resemble a hay barn and that's where the stripping would take place.

1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, white with blue vinyl top, 350 2bbl with the breather flipped. It was a good car that was tough because I just drove it without doing regular maintenance.

Had a receiver hitch pin go through my tire on a 2002 Chevrolet duramax 2500 with less than 10,000 miles. Had to get a new Firestone Transforce 10 ply to match the other three.

I'm in north central North Carolina. The prediction by local weather is 0.5 to 1.0 inch of freezing rain. There's a map that shows we're in the high probability of losing power, and it is supposed to be around 32° for the high into mid next week. I'm preparing as best I can.

Just found out about this. I know the guy that has all this stuff. The signs came from S & H Implement Company in Oxford, NC that was active from 1955 to 1975. Thought I would post this in case anyone is interested. One of the signs was above the parts counter. https://www.rogersauction.com/auctions/detail/bw145678

Good one yellowrosefarm. I loved the Country Gentlemen!

What Eason said. Also Doug Clayton Garage in Hurdle Mills, NC.

Love a tomato sandwich with a good tomato from the garden and Duke's mayonnaise!

I'm an IH guy all the way, but I do have a John Deere 430 diesel with 60" deck that I bought used in 2002. I still use it today, but not nearly as much since I also have a Bad Boy Maverick zero turn with 60" deck. I bought that in 2018 from TSC. I've only had to replace the battery once. It has electric deck lift and has been a rock solid unit.

I always considered the narrow front as having two tires and the tricycle front as having one tire. The wide front is obvious.

In my neck of the woods (north central NC) tobacco was pronounced bye-kuh. It was the flue-cured variety.

This is the one I see misused a lot. Ensure - to make certain of something. Insure - to take insurance out against something.

When I was a volunteer fireman (before I retired) and vice president of the board of directors, we bought a new 1997 Kenworth T-300 with 1000 gallon tank and 1250 GPM pump. Our next newest truck prior to that was a 1975 Ford F750 with 1200 gallon tank and 250 GPM pump, along with a 1965 Ford Cabover with 500 gallon tank and 750 GPM pump.

I asked an old IH mechanic about what to use in my 1086 and he said quite frankly to use 303 as that was all he ever used with no problems. I have used 303 and VP Racing J20A but have since switched to TSC premium hydraulic fluid.

In north central NC we would call it a drink but pronounce it "drank". Lance crackers were called round nabs (Lance name is Toasty) and square nabs (Lance name is Toast Chee) due to the shape of each. We would go to the store and get a "drank" and a pack of nabs.

I joined in May of 2014. I had purchased a 1086 less than a year before and I wanted to learn as much as I could about the 86 series.

I didn't care for the all-white wheels either. He aIso misstated the horsepower at 146 which is 131 according to the Nebraska test. I would like to have seen him tackle the air conditioning. It would have been entertaining and informative. I do very much like watching his shows though.

Did anyone see Roadworthy Rescues on Wednesday February 5th? Derek Bieri refurbished a 1978 International 1086.

I was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. I did shed tears after he died, but it wasn't until the next morning because I was still in shock. That Sunday night was a sleepless night and when I got up the next morning, I turned the TV on and his death was all over the news. That's when the realization actually hit me.

I saw Bobby Allison win both the 300 on Saturday and the World 600 on Sunday on Memorial Weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway back in 1984.
