Sledgehammer Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 And just to be clear, I make zero money from U-Toob. I simply put them there so they can be shared. I have not found another way to link a video where others can see it. I like seeing the machinery work and I know a lot of you do also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you can get paid for posting stuff that people want to see more power to you. It takes a lot of time and effort to put all this stuff together.

It was an enjoyable show. Got to meet up with old friends and meet a couple new ones. Always nice to meet another member in person. Never ran across several others I knew were there somewhere. For those of you on the fence about making a trip to the HCOP, you won’t find anything else like it that I know of anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 I did pick up a really low hour Dresser 412B scraper at the show. Since I was pulling a trailer home anyhow 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Plow Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Sledge, what a coincidence, I scored a low hour Cub Cadet 127 with blade today at HCOP.....had to squeeze it on the trailer, but she made it home and in the collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 @Mr. Plow We did actually find a couple interesting things that were a little more serious. My buddy that was with me had been looking for a set of dual hubs for 2-3/4” axles and I saw a set of hubs on a random wagon away from the venders. We went back and checked. A nice set of M&W dual hubs for 2-3/4”! Price was good also so they followed him home. Even had part of the original sticker left inside them that said Super M, 400, and some things we couldn’t read. I found an odd manual I had never seen. Marked (6-80) so it should be for 86 series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jass1660 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The 660 that was repowered with a 361 was really struggling plowing, the poor Deere behind him had to stop several times so as not to hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw him today where I was. Saw several guys having trouble. The 8630 was fairly sad looking and not just because it’s a JD. It just had too much plow behind it. When you have 8 nearly new tires spinning and clawing like mad it’s not good. We figured he might not have weighed enough for that 12 btm today.

The craziness started about 10:30 today. Before that it wasn’t overcrowded really. We headed for the truck after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray54 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Thank you for the video and pictures. Special thanks for the crawler pictures. The Cat D6 and AC HD9 are some of my favorites. Spent a lot of time on both. Getting a long time since the 2 tractor hocked in tandem for one driver would of been worked in the field for real. But a F460 and M(?) hocked together? Would that be close to matching ground speeds in different gears to not tearing at least tires up? I always thought to matching tractors, 😵 but what do I know. A lot of talented people with time and money. And they bring them out for all to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dads706 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 That M with the cab reminds me of one an area guy had back in the 50's. All the cabs back in those days were made with whatever was handy. Some were pretty well built units while others kept you out of the weather but nothing more. That one looks pretty nice for it's day. Ahhhh the days gone by.
