I'm not there so I can only answer your questions based on the information given. If you want to reuse the rims you have, the best bet would be to get the same size tires. i.e. 16.9 - 28 based on what you have listed here. Thats 16.9 inches wide on a 28 inch diameter rim that is likely 14 or 15 inches wide. Tractor data is good for some general information but it is not perfect and has flaws, plus that tractor is nearly 50 years old so the centers, rims and tires could all be different from what came from factory/.

7.50 is rough width. -16 means its on a 16" diameter rim. These are front tires. 16.9-28. Rear tires. 16.9" wide (roughly) and 28 inch diameter rim. The "On 15" rim", is the width of the rear rims. So your rims could be 15" wide x 28" diameter, but those tires will fit on 14" wide rims also.

I went back and took a look. You are correct and the 656 was sitting in the open shed. I missed it the first time thru. Pete has a nice set of working tractors.

I didn't see his 656 in the shed, but being a hydro I don't know if he would have taken that rear end apart as far as it was.

They usually offer about $0.30 on the dollar for what its worth.... and floating bog isn't worth much.

It runs in streaks for me. Some weeks i don't get any. Other weeks I get 2 to 4 form letters in the mail, usually postmarked from Florida, and up to 6 texts. They always say 40 acres, but never state which 40 they would want to buy. Several are land locked and there is at least 1 40 that you can walk across, but I wouldn't stand in 1 place for 2 long (i.e. all floating bog). Wetland credit scam would make sense.

What’s the reason for the variable oil squirters? Are they trying to save parasitic losses or are they concerned about too much cooling at lower engine output? The race for hp and torque seems to come at the cost of added complexity and lower reliability.

Ah ha - I missed that connection. Then yes, exactly like that.

Look at the address in the location. I'd say its an AI or Spambot. Screenshot of the building listed.

A 392 with what 200 to 250 hp stock. Now same truck with 600 hp stock and 1400 lb ft of torque. I will say the brake are better now.

GM - 8.3L Duramax Ford - Rumors of 8.0L Powerstroke Ram - again rumors of 7.2L Cummins? I like displacement as much as the next guy, but this seems a little extreme. I could see it limited to 450/550 and 4500/5500 platforms. But a 3/4 ton with 600 HP and 1400 lb feet of torque just seems like a recipe for disaster. Most DL are limited to 26,000 combined weight, but the trucks have the HP and torque for a truck rated for 40k+.

I ordered it with that installed also.

Now that pictures are back up and working, I thought I would post about an IronBull canopy that I installed on my Ford 4600 this summer. I am really impressed with the quality of the brackets and canopy. Plenty of steel. The hardest part was getting it lifted up. It would take 2 strong men and someone else to put bolts in. I ended up slinging it from the skid steer forks. its not a cab but shade is better than being in the sun.

I was waiting if anyone else commented on this, since I have zero first hand knowledge. I will say that the YouTube channel Farmcraft101 just redid his injectors on a fuel pincher for the exact same reason (fuel in the oil). He also changed the fuel pump, reset the governor, and set the output on the injectors. He was able to source the tools, but discussed what would be needed to work on it without the specific tools. it looked like a PITA to me, but could see how it would be worth it vs trying to repower a truck with a different engine.
