Bought a WD out of Nebraska some years back, for the power steering. It didn't run, owner had a drawbar. Hooked his 190 to the WD and pushed it on the trailer like nothing. I thought, building one of those as soon as we get home! And I did, have only used it a handful of times but when you need it.... It's helped a bunch moving the 826 around. We always called it a push pole. Used to push a hay wagon up barn hill to the elevator back in the day 39 minutes ago, rrr4quality said: I stopped by my friends house yesterday and took these pictures of his 200. He has a 656 & a 560 he puts up a lot of small squares with. He has had the big barn filled to the top many times. Nice looking tractor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobfly Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Plowing a little snow. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagan Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 got the 806 out and put the 3point blade on it as we are to get 4 to 8 inches of snow and wind. Oh and tried to get the steering hand pump off the 766 but that darned throttle coupler is being a total pain in the butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobfly Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It was just another 6 inches with 30mph winds that filled in my drift rows and my drive, and where we walk to feed and drive to feed and try to leave the house and walk to the house and try not to get pissed off. Gonna be a good water year! I am just hoping I don't have to put chains on, when I am close to the end of winter. Of course winter is not over until the end of March here. Been a long one. Probably won't see green until the first of May. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a different day but more of the same. Kind of embarrassing to say but I cannot find the part shown in this picture anywhere in the parts book (below the battery tray on the right side).And what is it connected to at each end?

Connects clutch throwout bearing cross shaft to transmission brake. Is on same page as transmission brake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys had to clean out the Herefords barn. Figured she would go through the snow in the field. Good thing they didn't go with less tractor! Snow was much deeper than we thought some places. Got that job done, the Herefords are all bedded up and happy again. That’s a healthy amount of wheel weights , any on the insides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Brought some more global warming material up to the yard with the 826. No picture today to protect the guilty but here is one from the past.... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeachersPet1066 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Used the 884 and brush hog on new property that did not have a crop last year. Amazing how much growth there is in one summer. Still have a lot to do but it was 72 degrees and afterwards the family took the dog for a walk around the fields. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowaboy1965 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Since the yard firmed up yesterday I moved fire wood to the back door and then moved a little snow. Got out the cubby and used it a bit too. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgriffin856 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Not today but yesterday while it was warm and calm out. Stockpile of sawdust is getting low at the heifer barn so I have to try to get a load when I can. It's nice to have two small Amish mills in the neighborhood to haul out of. Sometimes in the summer I can't keep up. Use idk 40-50 loads a year. Tractor and spreader go everyday 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forwhldrv Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Used the 53 SM to move some brush today.this is opening up the edges of the horse pasture. It will make mowing the outside of it a little easier we will burn up these piles next week weather permitting I cut a couple of these hemlocks down last year and pushed them in the woods they leaned into the pasture. My helper had to have her picture taken too 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale560 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Here is one you can’t fathom. Used the 1486 to move a threshing machine. It is a McCormick deeming machine so all IH today. We had to saw it out of a couple trees and the frozen sod. We busted loose but left side steel wheel was stuck in tree stump. We then unbolted original square axle set it aside with one good wheel and strapped a trailer house axle on from a trailer and moved it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
