Nice find, Brian!! Wish I could have found one of those before I bought my Westendorf quick attach brackets. But they work good, just not original.

If it’s an 800 or newer, and it’s less than 8 rows now, all you have to do is add seed tubes to the manifold.

How does it make up the difference on seed population?

18,700 is what the ad says

They look good in the pictures. That sale is a little over an hour from me. Not sure if @bigarn knows them or not. He’s closer.

Did you get a chance to try the 8-tracks?

If I remember to do it, I’ll look at the buyers guides tonight. Try to figure out what years they were built.

Todd, maybe you could make him happy by forge welding the SMV bracket back on!!

Happy Birthday 🎈🎉🎊🎁🎂🍾🎆🇺🇸

That doesn’t sound like fun at all!!

We like pictures!!!

Been there, done that!! We even dumped a little diesel on a slug in the rotor and lit it up. It smoldered for about 15-20 minutes and we tried it again and it finally came out. Dad was past sailor language that night!!! We had worked on that plug for about 4 hours, he’d had enough, either the plug was coming out or the combine was going to burn.

I have a 658 New Holland, never shut it off to dump a bale. It seems to get rid of the loose hay behind the rollers

Congratulations Tony, that baler looks absolutely gorgeous!!!

There’s several IH 85 series listed on tractorhouse, at any given time, that are located in NA.

Illinois state troopers, for some reason, don’t like a tractor pulling a trailer with air brakes. But that may have been just a local issue here. A local farm was pulling a lowboy with an 8640, hauling a dozer or trackhoe. I think that one of the local contractors was throwing a fit about it and the cops finally had to say something. He had an air tank setup for the brakes, but that was the excuse that they used. His setup wasn’t DOT approved, I guess.

Glad you were able to get it, and get it running again!! As others have said good luck and keep the pictures coming!!

Making great progress!! Looks great ??

Safe travels Tony!! Enjoyed catching up with you at Red Power.

Pictures of the bucket would help. Is it rusted through or just bent up? Sometimes cheaper to buy a new bucket.

There is also J P Tractor Salvage in Fredricktown, Mo.

Air cleaner issue?? Sounds like it could be lacking air intake.
