In a river bottom and the guy who owns it isn’t the best with his equipment.

This one is a few miles from me. Our local ER has a pretty nice shot of it hanging on a wall in one of the hallways.

We have a 986 and a hydro 186. I absolutely love the 86 series. Lots of guys grumble about the cab but I like them! And they’re easy to work on. The 986 is the planter, discbine, and grain cart tractor. And in the winter it hauls the daily milkhouse wash water. The hydro 186 is on the tmr mixer 99% of the time. But I do like it on the discbine! And if we have hay to bale it gets to that. I’d like to get a few more 86 series tractors in the future.

I have type 1. I was going to get my cdl before the laws changed for how to acquire your cdl. I was only required to get a 1 year med card. I wasn’t able to get my cdl due to other health issues that happened at the time.

I ordered that and got it yesterday afternoon. Now just waiting for the radiator to get done.

Thank you. I was wondering if it would have to be burned out. I’ll see if my local parts supplier has some👍🏻😎

Hello, our 986 has a coolant leak on the line that goes to the filter from the oil cooler. It was almost a gallon a week this past winter it. Now that it’s summer it’s slowed. I see on the parts blow up there is a rubber sleeve in the nut. I feel like I read on here in the past that a person could put some Teflon tape in there to seal it up. Or am I better off getting a new sleeve from the dealer?

Herbrucks? If so I’m only a couple miles from them.

@ComancheStarFarmsI don’t want to step on @acem’s toes. But I had the grille out on our 186 tonight. Here’s some pictures. Is your cooler upside down? Excuse the oily mess. The front main seal is leaking. It’s been replaced 3 times by our mechanic. Hope this helps

Prayers going out to everyone who has damage from these storms. Seems like this spring in Michigan has been exceptionally bad.

My dad’s got a story about one of those. Had one on our 5400 jd chopper. Helping a neighbor open up a field of corn. He was heading down a hill. Hit a bump and it popped open and away the wagon went. Past him going 40mph and hit a tree. Smashed the front of that beautiful h and s front and rear load wagon. My uncle bought that wagon used. But it hardly had ten loads in it he figured and that happened. Dad was so mad that hitch went to the scrap.

Our Hough 65c has a DT407

Lucky he’s alive. Timpson isn’t too far from me. One of his old mechanics would do some moonlight work for us. He told us that most of the trucks he has have been wrecks that he buys and completely redoes. That truck will probably get redone.
