  1. editing out the last statement is somewhat unfair IMHO
  2. I like a good snow storm until the aftermath . can be very interesting
  3. My friend's wife made that little sign for me
  4. My wiper arm is 14" long if that makes a difference with the blade I don't know
  5. this is interesting link Takin’ It From the Streets: Snow Removal Through the Years | TIME.com
  6. yeah , got me to thinking so I Goggled it manual labor and wagon loads of snow and a common machine was the snow roller LOL among others
  7. I put the 3 pc seat from A&I on my 656 and threw out the old one. My old round baler was manual tie and the center section of the seat its bent like a horseshoe from me leaning back to tie bales Don't buy an A&I seat!
  8. Both of my Grandpas passed before I was born. My parents kept in touch with an older couple that were my maternal Grandparents friends, Their farm had a driveway more than a half mile long with fencerows, trees and west winds making it impossible to clear . They could be snowed in all winter. Seems to me he would drive through a field with a tractor to get supplies if their son brought them.
  9. My ICB cab is missing the wiper blade. part number 163195r1 . Apparently used on a Scout as well. Looks like it is mounted with a #6 machine bolt in the center. I looked in the auto store and the short wipers appeared to be for rear wipers and not suitable. Anyone know a number for Trico or Napa!
  10. Sicard invented the snowblower 100 years ago . Snowplows were in use before that but I think before those days horse and cutter and roads deep in snow . Most people were on the farm back then so travel wasn't necessary like these days Even in my life time the roads didn't get cleared down to pavement and salt applied. My brother is/was a hay burner lover. He would hook up a nag and we could go up and down the road for days at a time
  11. I got spoiled with Gleaners and just how nice they are to work on. Then I went to the Dream Green Team. - Dale mentioned taking a wheel off to get at one side,🙃 taking the seat out to change a belt 🙃, laid out in what appears to be with after thoughts..... good machines and they stayed in the field in service longer than the others, despite the engine up front I thought the cabs weren't terribly noisy At a glance a Massey looks hard to work on as well, too many obstacles to get at what you are fixing. None of this makes them a poor machine just what a guy gets used to
  12. any idea where or who made that baler. I like knowing these things
  13. He wants to ride on tractors with me
  14. A pic in real time .me and my buddy are waiting for wife while she gets groceries... His chin on my knee
  15. I had his cleaned at an insane price tag They were just as bad in a few weeks after changing his food to what the vet suggested for clean teeth and another insane price per bag He is extremely attached to me and the whole ordeal was much to hard on him
  16. more moving parts on conventional so they are more complicated- all brands. Gleaners were laid out very nice and simple but built a little light. Deeres were very reliable. Some Masseys I have seen were a nightmare
  17. found another on Norfolk but more on the tourist aspect. I hope you enjoy it
  18. wow man. I said I am probably not a better farmer than you
  19. I have had a stress filled week with my buddy. The vet suggested CET Chews to keep his teeth clean. Sunday the wife gave him one and I commented it disappeared quickly. 2am he is whining( never does this in the night) so I take him outside, Liquid yellow poop with blood in it. He stopped poopng and vet was too busy to see him. Thursday I called him and said if he doesn't get in I am done with them..he got in. He had a fever and they gave him antibiotics and canned food. Not until this morning did he poop regular Those treats are digestible but they are hard and brittle without moisturizing from chewing. I do not recommend them if you think you need them . My guy will never get them again. It has been terrible worrying about my little buddy
  20. they actually pull 2 bottoms well.
  21. probably not ! Idle it back and drop cultivator , speed up
  22. I personally have never seen a 1 furrow plow on a N tractor
  23. I cultivated corn with a Farmall H and tobacco with a MF 165 and never stopped until break time
  24. why do I/we need to know your education? regardless you are always up for a debate and I can appreciative where you are coming from whether I agree with you or not and you are never rude. Supper was good because I make it Fridays to give a night off for my wife
