Saw this at buggies and blues

Have to agree with searcy, grabbed it to pound a stake for the wife and missed right away. Cussed and looked at the hammer 🔨 and wondered what the heck is this for

What’s the purpose of this kind of hammer 🔨 hard to beat on anything with tapers ends

Always enjoyed him. Saw him live a couple of times. I have his first book . I think it’s called Get in the pickup. Referencing his cattle dog . I think another early one , Roper ,Rider and a heck of a windmill man. I could see myself in many of the subjects he wrote about.

That is a really nice older tractor. Good luck with it

Yes , it is a 856. The front end is a factory adjustable one . I’ve only saw one other although some on here have said there more common than u think. It’s a good tractor

Got the crop in the other day . The ground was really powdery after disking. Hard to get footing with a full drill, need to get bigger tires. Finally used the 52. It did a good job but has quite a little blow by

Yeah I buy my tractors like I trade stock , buy hi sell low. I didn’t even bring a trailer. I had to go back

By Flasher ND , 50 miles south of Bismarck

I’ve been to a lot of sales in these parts. Not sure I’ve ever saw a 50 series tractor a 1486 and a cub lowboy much less all three on the same sale. Pretty rare tractors for these parts

I went to bid on the 5288, I was willing to go about 12. I still think it was a good buy for someone. The weights were worth $800 and new tires. , another $2000 ? I bid up to $5000 on a rough looking but good running 4010. It went for 51 or 5200. I think the guy that bought the 154 paid to much and his wife was definitely pissed. She was kinda cute standing in the rain all day.

Watched these sell on Sunday. The 1486 went for about $8100, the 52 for $14500 , and the 154 for $3000. They also had a FWA 8940 with 1900 hrs and Miller loader for $50 or 51000. They said the 52 had about $12000 stuck in the rear end a few years ago. Tractor had about 9000 hours. I thought it was a very tractor,

Your correct the later ones had different seals , I got some 1 time from Cat. Seems like a agco had bought the line up

Not much to tell. Pull the lever back and it goes up. Push it ahead and it goes down. 🙁 sorry couldn’t resist. I think the breakout force is either 3500 or 4200 hundred pounds . You have a heck of a good outfit.

Better than factory???

Another star herald photo,

You done good , nice pictures

I like to read the star herald, they always have a farm and ranch section on Sundays. Thought u guys might like this

Dumb question but could u have bad gas ? My truck seems to get water in the back coil on the drivers side , it runs pretty crappy until I clean it out . Also a 04 v10

If you don’t need the wide stance I would slide the axle in. Always felt there stronger that way

Saw this in a yard , hope there red guys

Who are the guys, a band I assume
