I remember in the 70s and average wheat crop was 18-20 bpa.

Shelling or Combining....which is it with you.......
lotsaIHCs replied to dads706's topic in General Chat
Here if you are using a combine, you are combining. Picking if you are using a corn picker to pick ears. Carbonated soft drink is pop and the noon meal is dinner, evening meal is supper. For some reason the noon meal is lunch at work or away from home. -
Looks like the op wasn't too interested in any help...his one and only visit was to post his question. So it goes...

TravelallParts.com shows drums. The website says they are the last ones they'll ever have. Price was something over $1100. Each.

My LeMans came from Medina Ohio. I don't know how long it spent there. I bought it in ND in 1988 or 89. It was still pretty nice at that time, although I could tell it came from a salt state. I sold it to a friend's stepsister in 1996 and she destroyed it. I tried to find it later on but my friend either didn't know or wouldn't say where it was. He just told me "you wouldn't want to see what she did to it".

I've been seeing a lot of love for the 1978 and newer square GM cars lately. Anything from Caprice to Cutlass to Malibu and all of the various related makes and models. I know I wish I still had my 78 LeMans and 82 Cutlass. An uncle had a 78 Impala 2 door that was really sharp. My 78 LeMans was surprisingly quick and nimble with the stock 305 Chevy (thank goodness it didn't have the 301 Pontiac engine!) with no modifications other than dual exhaust and fairly quiet turbo mufflers. Shipping weight for the car was 3011 pounds, lighter than a Camaro of the same year.

Location? I have an IH 3/4 ton 4X4, I think about a 65. Not sure, missing the grill and never really looked into it. I won't part it out but I'd consider selling the whole pickup.

When grandpa farmed with the M that I now own he pulled 3-14 with 1 set of weights and no fluid. Very black ND soil, not clay, and rolling hills, nothing steep. I have pulled 4-14 with the same tractor breaking for a shelterbelt. Didn't dig very deep though. Disked several times after plowing, plow again, repeat, digging deeper.

My wife used to say I looked like Ron Howard. Now she says I'm beginning to look like Colin Mochrie with a white beard. I started losing my hair in high school and it turned white by the time I was 45 or 50.

About a $150 fine and 2 points on you license? Your insurance company might notice that! Maybe not. Speeders always worried me when our kids were home and driving on our 2 lane highway. But then they may have been the ones speeding!

Sounds like🐖🧼🫧🧽 to me. I did a quick web search and nothing came up using my key words. What the fuel level would have to do with a leaking cooler line is beyond my comprehension. Fuel pumps run cooler when submerged in fuel, which would make keeping the fuel level above a quarter tank a good practice, but I haven't found a TSB related to it. TSBs are public information. If they know of a service bulletin they should be able to produce it and show you where it applies to his failed transmission. Or more accurately their service failure.

That's the impression I got. It almost sounded like he was fishing for someone to say that it was worth every penny he was asking. Or that someone on the forum couldn't live without it. All anyone here can do is give an opinion or relay what they see in their area. If it's not what he wants to hear so be it.

The funny thing is that the 4 door sedan sold before the 2 door hardtop. He bought it sight unseen, just saw pictures. He sent a cashier's check that included the payment for shipping. It had something to do with a movie car of which a lot of people are making clones. The guy who bought the 2 door didn't care a lot about the body,he was more concerned that the frame wasn't rotted out.

Uh-oh...our newest car, my wife's, is 10 years old with 230,000 miles on it. Highest mileage is 23 years old with 300,000 miles. My daily driver is 19 years old with 167,000 miles and my pickup is 27 years old with 207,000 miles. One had an engine replaced under warranty at about 105,000, which is my newest one. The others still have their originals.

When my dad ran the city water department part of his yearly maintenance was to flush the hydrants. Besides making sure they all worked, it also flushed the water mains out. The people in town didn't like it much since it made the water cloudy until everything made it through the pipes. But at least he knew everything was working and a lot of rust was flushed from the water mains. He was also fire chief at that time.

I'd say about 12 miles. Unless there is a hydrant in the tiny town about 7 miles away. I don't think they have a municipal water supply. I've been there hundreds of times since I was a little kid but I can't honestly say I've ever noticed whether there are hydrants there. There are no businesses in town so I never go there except to drive through for a look every couple of years.

One of those "better ideas".💡

Around here it's the hired hands from South Africa. Absolutely menacing on the roads. They have a semi so they're going to drive however they want. Passing up a blind hill in a no passing zone, turning onto the 2 lane highway with traffic coming toward them and just basically driving recklessly. Real truck drivers are no problem but these guys drive like nuts!

Those cars are bringing good money these days. I sold 2 67 Impalas, one 2 door and one 4 door recently, basically parts cars with no titles. I'm in central ND. One went to Rapid City SD and the other near Montana. I got paid pretty well for them, plus one paid my son and his friend a few hundred bucks to haul it to the ND/MT border. The other guy drove from Rapid City and hauled his back.

I have a pair of 10.00-16 4 ribs sitting in front of my shop waiting for me to get the ambition to mount them...I'd like to find a spare wheel for the tractor so I can keep the one good tire that's on it now mounted up and ready in case I need it someday when it's 20 below. Seems that a lot of 1066s came with 11L-15 fronts. Mine has 10.00-16, whether original or installed later on.

1936 was a wild weather year. North Dakota recorded its highest ever temperature the same year on July 6th at 121°F. in Steele ND, a bit southeast of me. That year also saw our coldest at -60°F. on February 15th in Parshall ND, about 120 miles northwest of me.

I had the same thing a few years ago. I talked to the state ag dept. They said the beekeepers are responsible for keeping water available so the bees don't end up in people's yards. The beekeepers had to bring out a water tank and place it near the hives. We never had a problem after that.

My brother-in-law goes to Mexico from South Dakota for his dental work. He also buys drugs there that aren't approved in the USA for an illness one of his sons has.
