I saw my mil yesterday and she saw someone that was pretty sure that the steam engine was in there to run some tools. She has a few others to ask yet but unfortunately most from the last generation has passed to the other side by now. It was two generations ago that used this equipment ( from myself and my wife's perspective)
Would make sense to have a remote engine for an application like a farm. Only other option would have been a line shaft like what the factories of the time used but that setup wouldnt be very feasible on a farm.

I read this article today and it reminded me of your post. Do you know this guy or live nearby?

Do you have to add soil back to your fields every so often? Seems like after harvesting the plants a depression would form where your rows used to be. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your operation.

guys got to be careful around those manure pumps, just last Friday in central wis , I understand a guy was sitting in tractor must of been agitating the way it sounds and something happened the ambulance guy said it looked like a part of the pipe broke loose and was a projectile going forward, hit the operator and he died, ambulance guy knows nothing about farm equipment but tried to describe the best he could, not the first time I heard stuff went flying into the cab, guy was 20 years old.
My friend works for a custom manure application company. He shared some pictures a month or so ago of a similar incident. Evidently on the agitators/pumps when a valve gets closed there is a spike in pressure and a clamp on cap on the end of a pipe can blow off.

Thanks, bitty. Yes, that was the name of the company. Walker Mufflers were common here. Don't know who owns them now..
Tenneco, still under Walker exhaust name.

One thing I've noticed about Case tractors is they grow on you. I bought a 1030 a couple of years ago as a short term tractor and was going to sell or trade towards a 1066 or similar. Well the Case is still here its a little clumsy but its dependable and cheap to operate.

You could cook over coal but the dust would be rough. Some tin foil would be in order for sure. I would wrap it several times. As for an Opossum on the dinner table......not me. I've seen way too many crawling out of the south end of a north facing creature of you get my drift. The infectious bite and needle teeth are another reason I would say no.
Charcoal is burnt wood. Coal is an actual rock. You will get much more heat out of coal and certain types of coal are much cleaner burning sulfur wise. Blacksmithing coal is sourced only two places in the US and is very clean and pure. Mine originated in Pennsylvania.
I thought the best coal (used for steel making) came from the powder river mines in Montana?

Another thing to check is to make sure there is no air intrusion into the fuel system. Make sure air is bled from injection pump and lines and if any part of the system is under suction ie from from fuel tank to injector pump.

Is everything timed properly? Did you do the overhaul?

No I plan to sell it. I wish I could though. Mechanically it's a sound tractor it's just not as cosmetically as nice. But I only have so many extra dollars for toy tractors!
One of these days I would like to add a 9 or 1086 to my collection but first is getting my 856 done.

Are you going to keep the project 986 that your nicer 9 replaced?

I have a good relationship with a local motor shop that I know can weld and turn shafts, and I think if the wear is small enough they can do hard chrome or send it out for hard chrome. I just didn't know about the weld heating the axle and changing the hardness / strength at a critical point.
Chroming or thermal spray welding would have significantly less heat affected(virtually none) area than mig welding and turning in a lathe.

If you can read the tag on the trans the first set of numbers is the rated torque for the trans.
