Model number and serial numbers will located inside the control panel door. I would say it is a Farm Fan AB 120. Looks very similar to the model I run with

I remember when dad had a Gleaner F and he upgraded to the 1440, what a difference! After that, we ran a 1644 on our acreage. And starting this fall we will run a lower hour 2344 that I purchased this summer. Hard to beat the axial flow.

Looking to buy cattle for this winter. Usually get 150-160 head. These kind of prices can make person nervous really quick. But they keep saying the demand for beef will remain strong, so who knows?!!

I have an old one here yet, I may experiment with that before I try to fix the new one. Thanks for the info.

I was afraid this could be the problem. Thanks

Our Farmall H tends to do this when I have it running. The voltage meter seems to show a 10 volt discharge when running, 20 volts if you turn the lights on. The only way it will ever show a charge is if you tap the black regulator box behind the choke lever. Sometimes it will continue to charge, but most times not. That black box is fairly new, so I wouldn't think it is bad already. Not sure why it is that way. Does the battery need to be run down before it would show a +charge? Or do i have an issue somewhere else? I am unfortunately not that familiar with how these older tractors are to recharge themselves. Any help or advice is appreciated

The steady steer is something I am looking into for my planting tractors. Thinking I could use the same monitor for both types of work

I purchased a 2344 this summer that has the old black box yield monitor. No mapping capabilities. I would like to upgrade this system to something more modern and relevant. Was going to upgrade to the AFS 600 or 700, but was informed that will not be an option. The reason any components needed for this are discontinued and no longer available. It was suggested to look into Ag leader. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thank you

This is the raven screen I have, I am not sure if they are autosteer compatible. It is a Raven Cruizer series from way back when.

As I sit on the front porch listening to the Reds and sipping my Busch "latte"; I have been thinking about putting auto steer in my planting tractors. I use a McCormick MTX 135 on my corn planter and a 7120 on my bean planter. What brand do I start to look at? I would like to get one system that I could move from one tractor to the other (very rarely that both tractors are planting at the same time). Was thinking one system could save me money. I already have a very basic Raven guidance without autosteer in each of these tractors. Thank you for any input

Not sure why, but" mullets" seem to be the thing right now. My son in the red shirt, thinks he is gonna grow one, but mom is winning that argument right now.

Most of the combine windrows take up the whole width. Was one of the few thin spots where I took the pic.

Was able to "convince my son, a couple of nephews, and few of their friends to help get this chore done tonight. Those kids didn't do to bad for a bunch of "town boys"

Should be baling straw, not being parked at the service center. Got two loads into baling and noticed "the hardest to get to" bearing on the kicker is now gone. Since I have a busy day at work tomorrow, that should give them time to fix it.

The spike closing wheels I currently have are due for replacement. I am wanting to install the yetter twister closing wheels on my soybean planter. A local dealer is having a "sale" on these. What are advantages/disadvantages of the poly versus cast or vice versa. Thanks for any opinions.

Going into summer things get cleaned up and a quick wax if time permits. At least the 5140 and 290 are done, had good help.

Just finishing up sidedressing.

Totally agree on the size thing. For the acreage I run, I can't justify buying a bigger machine. Long time waiting to find this one.

Well it showed up today. Out with the old, in with the somewhat newer

Good to know, thanks

Or after I thought about it, because of all the glass!!

Now you got me to ask, is this something to watch out for?
