Absent Minded Farmer

That looks like it's built a little better than the WUT, but I don't think that "four strong people" are going to lift the Haflinger. The WUT would be more believable. Mike

Great save!! The CC 1200 was the first mower I purchased as a youngster. Put a 18 HP Kohler in it to light up the tires. It did ok. Got weights & filled the tires to pull the front off the ground. Could actually get a few minutes of hang time, with me leaning back in the seat. The hydro on the 1650 made that a lot easier. Mike

@Ian Beale Don't forget this fancy Erector set from IH. The WUT! It's almost a side by side.... I guess?? Mike

Well, the guards are standard fare for most mowers. It is notable that they are marked IH. The M on the sections tells me they are probably for a combine. They cross to a 826766C1 or C2. The rivets are most likely for mower sections. The longer ones are for use down by the head to attach it to the back with the sections sandwiched in between. Plow bolts is plow bolts. Probably for the shares. I can check the books tomorrow. Mike

Been crate digging again. My YT channel is not a music channel, so I'm relying on someone else's wax. So here, have some rare NoCal country swamp funk. It's a shame these cats didn't go any further. Should our Red Power upside down brother-from-another-mother check in from his large rock in the Pacific.... it sounds like the Dead & may not be for you.... however it is a bit on the chill side. So.... listen at your own risk. Mike

I own one. Those tractors are heavy for what they are, but those aren't pulling a 5 shank. Maybe in some Illinois potting soil or old river bottom. The 444/2444/3444 are about 48 - 50 HP. You would want about 15 HP per shank to get the job done comfortably. Maybe 20 per if you have clay, tight ground &/or are using twisted shovels. I tend to concur with Alan's idea. Mike

Is that a bucket nipple on the PTO? Not a bad idea. Mike

Forgot to add, that's a Saginaw 3PH, if it helps you any. They're quite heavy duty. Think the Cornhusker hitch is the only one heavier. Mike

Considering the size of collections & their contents, that price is still chump change to some. Then again.... they have that money because they don't spend like a chump. Well.... most. Mike

That diesel TEF would be cool to have. Not sure any were imported here during production? Mike

Looks great, but I'm surprised it's not offered in 1/87. Mike

There isn't on my H that I know of either. If it does, it doesn't work. Mike

As long as it took the H4 mag, you're good. Mike

Did it have the side unload feature? That might have been a 1034 or 1038. Mike

Apparently.... Mike

My 1010 will go as fast as you're comfortable with, until you reach the point where you're outrunning the second table. Then you end up with two bales wedged under it & the show comes to a stop. The other issue at high speed is, the bale will keep bouncing forward off the pickup until you hit the next one & it pushes it into the chain. Both situations are not recommended. Mike

Your claim was about the pictured dog & runs into generality about adopted dogs? Yes? So.... The short of it: When I got Loki & he went through the vet, he asked if I wanted the dog fixed, I said no. Brought him back to WI, registered him locally & haven't herd much about castration since the first year I had him here. Mike

You may have my portion, if you are so inclined. Mike

BULLLLLLLSHIRT! I could easily get $5000+ for my dog, who is a rescue & exceptionally photogenic. I've had several offers to stud him out & all say the same. You don't find a pit like that every day. Especially with his nuts. Mike

Even if you were monitized, you don't get revenue from direct posting on here or any site. Good vid! Will be listening to it tomorrow again, when I can turn it up. Mike

Sounds a bit like it was cross-threaded, if that's possible with those. Pull it apart & let us know what else is going on. Mike

Blue nose pitbulls are hypoallergenic. My dog has been around a few people that are allergic & there have been no problems. Not even with the hypochondriac. They do require a TON of exercise, attention & so if you are old.... that may not be the breed for you. Also, they really do best if your family is fairly tight, as they are a pack animal. Mike

That don't make a lick of sense, but whatever floods your boat. Mike

That Plymouth in your pic is in great shape! My favorite paint scheme, too. I was surprised to see the Panzers there. Are they uncommon in your area, too? Mike

Your pic didn't pop up the first time. That roller looks home made & pretty well cobbled. Mike
