sandhiller Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 With all the rain we've had the driveway was getting some pretty deep ruts in it. I took the 966 with dozer blade and 3pt Gnuse bucket and hauled in sand and bladed it back to passable. Widened it out some too.. Really need a load of rock to shore it up. Yarded bales with the 656H Until i noticed hyd oil coming out from under the battery and it wouldn't go in forward very well, but was able to back it home. Because I don't know the actual name, I will call it a signal line for forward, had cracked a fitting I didn't have to go far for a replacement line as I just happen to have a salvage 656H. (framed in the grapple) The line I salvaged looked way more better than the one with the cracked flare fitting I replaced And I was able to be back up and running with no cost but some time. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After completing a inframe overhaul...the mower is the hardest way ive got to work it. Glad to see you have the 656 back up and running, Mader! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 Got the 856 up to the show grounds. Stopped the local tire shop to see about getting that flat fixed. Hole in the sidewall, junk tire. He had a new one, got out of there for $166, didn't think that was too bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will never hear me complain about rain But.... There is a lot of hay ground under water It rains almost every night. We have a historical ave of about 18" of precipitation a year. We are blowing that out of the water this year (pardon the pun) Pastures sure look good though🤠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stronger800 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I got upset with the phone company or the cable company, I’m not sure which one over their placement of this wire. Had I been having a bad day, I would’ve relocated that to a terminated coil on the ground for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Mowed with the 1086 round noon. Baled with the 886 starting at 5pm. I was almost done and the baler quit. It was dark but it appears the upper belt drive roller shaft broke... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT Matt Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Mowed the local airport the last two mornings. It was bone dry so I only mowed early. It takes 5 passes around the runway and taxiway to cut far enough back for them. Takes about an hour a pass with the Cub and belly mower. It doesn’t look like much to mow but yellow clover grows along the edge for the first three passes, usually about 4 feet tall. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optional “long” rear axles are very uncommon in this part of the world. Hardly ever seen on 66’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
