Exactly what it is! My brother likes to look at auction sites. He ended up “winning it”, then he didn’t know what to do! Decided to ship it to me instead of paying extra to get it up to Fairbanks. I would have never bought it but it is nice to have.

Pretty much keeps the sun out.

Thanks for the info. The snow did it in this winter. I considered just using one of the tarps I have to cover that section for now but want to check into a direct replacement.

Anyone have any experience with sourcing a replacement cover. The original one didn’t last very long!

I’ve posted these pictures on here long ago. Still my go to work boot. I have a few pair to send in and get refurbished but haven’t taken the time.

Could this be an issue with one of the safety features cutting off the fuel? Could check power at the solenoid when the issue occurs.

Enjoyed the sunshine today spreading manure.

Lots to think about, thanks guys!

Still not too far from you, I’m just two miles north of M46 on Hurdscorner Road.

I love old barns! Lots of them left around Michigan. If I had more time and was a better photographer I’d travel around and document them. Here are some pictures from a local barn, The Octagon Barn, a fall festival is held at the property each year and has grown into quite the event. Here are a few pictures from the barn I’ve been working on. I used white ash that I drug out of the woods and milled on my homemade bandsaw mill. It’s been a few years ago though. I still need to get it painted.

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately cell phone coverage outside of the barn isn’t very good, one bar. Inside the barn I have to set the phone in the window for any reception. We have fiber optic running to our house but don’t want to pay another monthly bill for the farm. Might have to clear a path below the tree canopy.

Looking for ideas to get internet across the road to the farm. From the blue spot to the red dropped pin is .1 mile. Point to point wifi was suggested to me yesterday and there are a lot of systems out there. My biggest concern are the trees in front of the house, large white pines. Anybody using a point to point system or have other ideas?

For a quick kill I’d use brake cleaner.

To repair either of those roofs I would cut out the inner roof, if there is an inner roof, and push them out with a porta-power. I would use boards to soften the pressure and even start hammering down the high spots as I’m jacking out the low spots. Once the majority of the dent is out I’d use a straight edge and start hammering up the low spots. Hammering directly on the dolly will stretch the metal so hold the dolly off to the side of the low spot. Lots of time involved in repairing stuff like that, you could easily have sixty hours into that yellow roof.

I have a 605K that has air bags for tension on the belts. I have to have them at least at 100psi to keep the belts going. There is also adjustment on the back roller to tighten up the belts on mine. Sometimes I open the gate and get things moving good before I start baling. Good luck, hope to use mine this weekend.

Not good!

I’m pretty sure I sent my RD pump to Spencer Diesel, it’s been awhile though. I like having the original pump on it still.

I agree! I don’t post much but enjoy reading while drinking my first cup of coffee. I actually take pictures to post on here but never get around to it. God bless!

It depends on how picky you are. I don’t like panel painting any metallic color even with the vehicle at the shop. When I pull up the factory paint code there may be four or more variations available. I’ve seen thirty different variations/formulas for some. I start looking at chips and actual spray outs if I have any. If not I shoot it with a camera to come up with the closest match possible, but I would still be blending at least the door. Insurance work I’d blend the hood also. Again depends on how picky you are and how long you plan on keeping the car.

Beautiful hayfield! Stinks about the pulley!

Used the 756 to spread out a few loads of gravel where we took down a house this spring.

Raked with the 756 and baled with the 1066, half way done!

Sunset on my way to get more off road diesel tonight.

Finished cutting the hay field yesterday. Bushing on the cutter bar went out on the haybine once and it was slow going, low one!

I had a couple calves get out yesterday. I figured they were sneaking around the end of the hot wire in the swamp. The fence runs through the swamp but it’s hard to maintain it. I electrified another 100’ in. See if you can tell from the picture what 10’ section is knee deep water!
