Monday, i plowed a little patch for rye with the 400 and 311 plow. Killed my back so bad I could hardly move. Good night's sleep fixed that, so Tuesday hooked the IH 475 disk to the 2+2 and smoothed out plowed ground, hooked 966 to the 315  roller harrow and packed the field.  So, finally today, got the rye planted with the 460 high utility and IH high wheel drill. I drove this 460 about 64 years ago when Dad borrowed it from a neighbor to rake hay with. Tried to buy it for 20+ years, finally successful in 2020.

  I wish that I could find a truck like that.  What was the year manufactured?

We chopped corn today.  Just like we've done about everyday for awhile now.

Winding down fast though.  Magnums gave us another good year of service.

Bought a 560 at a sale.  Wasn't advertised, didn't know it was there till I got there.   Amish guy had it but threw a rod out the side.  No idea what I'll do with it but I at least wanted the tires and the narrow front post.

I messed with the parts 400s today. Getting ready to remove the narrow front and noticed the pedestal had an odd casting mark:

Don't guess I've ever seen that on one before... have y'all?

Brought home a Craigslist find. 1955 Farmall 200 and a couple sets of tires.

It was a project that wasn’t going to get done so the guy let it go. Motor is stuck but I have a good block from a 230.  It used to have a single front and something is wrong with the steering on it.  The guy put the twin narrow front on the trailer along with another bolster.  Really the only thing missing is the starter. I should have one in the parts bin. The tin is too nice to part this out. I would like the fast hitch to go on my Super C.

I also went to an auction close to where I picked up the tractor.  Got some odds and ends. Looked at a Massey inline square baler but was out of my price range.

Ive got my fence row binder into beans today. We are trying to stuff some acres through it before I take it over to my own Itty bitty stand of sad beans to make sure everything works well. It seems to do pretty decent with the setting close to what we had for corn but we were having issues with it getting balled up at the feederhouse. We think adding some flighting extensions to try and push the crop closer to the opening along with getting the rock dam off should help it. The reel was also way to far out and being that this old geezer doesn't have provisions for hydro fore and aft we had to hook it up to a tractor to get it pulled back. By then it was far to late to do anything, so we will try again tomorrow.

 

Also, the bobcat did not like trying to pick a 4 row head off the trailer...

Fueled and did maintenance so we are ready for Monday.  Ran the chisel over the sweet corn patch at the local elevator and ran the 666 and single shank ripper over some compacted end rows.

I have a narrow front somewhere, either on an h or m gas, that has that same casting mark. I'm also not sure what it means or is though.

It's definitely odd... my H and 300 don't have it.
