Thanks guys! I've got some socket rails that could work. Only 4 rows to do. Should get this wrapped up today and get on to other things. Probably more questions to come.

Todd is a good guy, didn't know he worked on gauges.

So I'm changing the deck plates on the cornhead. How close should they be? Thought about getting one of the larger stalks and using it for a gauge.

A mechanical lift plow will work better with some sort of tread on the tire for sure. A bar tire would be great. Saw one yesterday that looked like the owner had ground grooves in a tri-rib. He did a good job and looked like it would work fine. Pretty sure I only have one mechanical plow here, currently. If there is a tire on it, It's a 10 on the Kalsemy scale. For those not familiar, that's not good.

I've got some traction booster gauges for my Alley cats I'd like to get repaired, basically just a hydraulic pressure gauge. Think one of these guys could do them?

The chopper would help with soybean residue. Some years it's not much of an issue, others.....

A cement mixer would be ideal. In the past I've used a 100 Cub Cadet and WD 45 once. The 45 and the 185 both have F&H weights on them, the tanks set on them nicely. A couple straps to hold them in place and you're golden.

Mac, I like to tumble gas tanks that are rusty, old nuts and bolts for media with a little diesel fuel. Strap them to the rear wheel of the 185 and go cut cornstalks. Had one I did have to coat, used por 15. Seems to be holding up.

This old thing has been puking oil out of the trans dipstick for a good long while. Talking to Gene on the phone yesterday I mentioned this. He asked if it had a baffle on the stick, it did not! Went and looked at the 1066, it has one. 'Fabricated' a baffle and brazed it on, end of problem.

Darn, would have been a great reason for a road trip!

Happy birthday gentlemen!

It's coming together, slowly. Sheetmetal is on but needs aligned, low priority now. It will likely be in the shop for the winter so I can chip away at it.

The E-bay accumulator got here yesterday and got installed. It works! Now if I can just find another for the 856.

Does that machine happen to have a chopper in it Nate?

Got the combine started today. Andy S., who is on here sometimes, was here picking apples, gave me a tip on what might be wrong with the unloading auger. Makes sense, going to look into that! Also got the muffler for the 200 and the manifold for the 756 gas ready to paint. Ran the weedeater in the morning and mowed with the CA, great day!

That sounds like a lot of work Alan! Had to do it once, derchio did most of the work getting it down. Probably lucky I didn't have to do a couple more!

Yesterday I dressed the 450 with sheetmetal then drug the gravity wagons around with it. Sheetmetal will have to come back off, partially. Going to get a brand new wiring harness! This thread just isn't the same without pictures.

I didn't see this and posted another. Maybe they will be double happy?

@billonthefarm, @brahamfireman, and everyone else celebrating today, hope it's a great day!

Allis featured 220's last year. There were a bunch of them there!

Found the leak under the seat. Apparently I cross threaded the accumulator on the fitting. So, no accumulator until I can fix this one or get a different one. At least it's back in the game! Took it for a drive yesterday, man, it drives nice.

Congratulations, hope all the hard work pays off.

They fit on my 856 just fine.

Hope it's a great day Matt!

Anyone know what the feature tractor is next year? Orange is featuring the 190. Is there a list somewhere?
