656 diesel split with a sway back axle. Front end is heavier than the back.

A few pictures of the fireworks at Spillville IA. They don't disappoint.

Boys must feel patriotic this holiday!

I have a chance to at a 5 shank Tebben ripper at a price that I can afford. I don't know what kind of job they do, how rough they leave the surface, and how they handle trash. Anyone with experience good or bad fire away, Thanks.

Combined the test plot today. 18 different numbers. Combine numbers looked good considering the year. We'll see how the compare when they get them compiled.

Saw this tractor sitting and stopped to look at it. Looks to be an original at 5700 hr. Everything seems tight yet. The interior has been replaced, but all the pieces are there.

That rear half is the one that lived at NICC in Calmar IA I believe. If I saw it in person I could tell you for sure. The long lever on the shift valve was an easy way to shift it and show what gear it was in for the whole class at once. We would run it with the test gauges on it in transmission class. It was powered by and 8.3 at the time. The engine adapted was "fab shop" built not like a production tractor. The whole thing came in a box in pieces and was put back together by Instructor Dave Amdahl.
