Did nothing with mine,drove 12hrs to look at lots of others.😳

Pulled the loader off the 786. Put it on in 85 or was it 86 ? With a telahandler and a loader-backhoe, a 3rd loader was not need. It was just bouncing around enjoying a ride. The tractor looks naked now. Servicing was easer too.

The offset M is harvesting sugar beets in the thumb of Michigan. An axel extension was clamped on the end of the main to make it longer .

Tad of information: the JD GP has potato wheels. JD acquired Chamberlain for thier dealer network. Deer was selling them engines in late model tractors.

Didn’t make flat rate I take it ?

Back to the 1456 resto. TA time. I’ve lost count on how many I did over the years . I did do the first one on this tractor when it was new under warranty. Then several years later before the 80’s farm crash and auction. The one that’s in it now slips and I know it makes no. 3 . After all it went through 3 other owners before it came back home.. This number 4 will be its last. It’s back on the farm it came to when new.

Locating the back part of the shop floor😳

Moved all the .4100 parts from warm shop to cold storage today. Hot water washing at 10 f in the wind is out for a week or more. Moved the newer manitou tel a handler in warm shop for some maintenance. Finished the day in warm pkup running some errands. Reading the forums by the wood stove . My wife says don’t get used to this evening practice. I could get lazy?

Moved the parts 4100 into the shop this afternoon. After the wheels and fuel tank went south and the engine went west. It's time to finish stripping for parts to go way far west.

Hauled home a damned old disc today. I H . With a red ,(impersonating tractor), pkup truck.

Does getting a hat with the IH logo count? 8 hr. round trip into Ohio to pick up a replacement telle-handler today. Salesman had several to choose, I chose wisely .😉

Fired up the trusty 786 and moved the field cult. and bar roller to machinery row. Then the yard art back from the road. Unloaded a 18.4 x38 from the pk up. Back in shed, again.

Speaking of shops, started cleaning mine yesterday. Last years maned flight upset the yearly process . Remaining fall tillage might be it for the year , so inside it is. Found the welding table and the floor under it . Added several inches to the scrap barrel. Not sure which side I move to next, south side and under the stairs that go to the loft office. Or the north side that has parts storage that has spilled out of the racks and cubby holes all over the floor . Coin toss I guess. Either side it might take till Christmas!

Ditto We now have about an in. of snow here in central Mi. Still lots of corn out.
