Put new Pioneer couples on the 656.  Started it with fresh gas first time since December.

Anyone know the difference between the 8 ball and 12 ball couplers?

I'm going to guess the 12 ball last longer then the 8 ball. Has more surface holding on the male tip. I've seen some tips that develop wear at the balls , mainly on the JD adapter to pioneer tip

  Not a lot of head room in that shed for that tractor.  

Yes a bit tight!  I think it is just under 8', and have to dodge the light bulbs that run down the center, but hey its dry.  The new garage will be 9' doors with over 10' walls.

Hauled a few loads of firewood in today after church with the 400. I have the chains off currently, was only slightly muddy, must be some frost down there in the woods. When George was almost there with it he said it sparked bad under the sediment bowl..... A chainsaw file bounced up from the toolbox and arced to the starter solenoid. File is burned at three places and junk now . Glad it wasn't any worse.....

Left it parked. I am sick of plowing snow. Storm today, up to 5". Tomorrow off, and then a big one fri-sun. Think I'll wait till I have to.

I installed front wheel weights on my 434 and may install rear ones after supper if I have help. IMG_20230308_125629.thumb.jpg.bc74807e59b9925cbfc4f23224c332d9.jpg

Just another day in Minnesota. 1993A24D-3A84-4B07-B182-9B11AEC8E49F.thumb.jpeg.f5d14ed2e912213c4dfa58774c1c5452.jpeg

I feel ya! I'm in central NoDak and didn't make it to work today. Our driveway was bad enough last night already that I got stuck at the end, a quarter mile from home. Took a bit if doing, but made it out and bucked 3+foot tall snow drifts all the way to the yard. Gonna have a lot of snow to move with the Hydro 70 tomorrow!

Nice! My attempts at plowing with a GT did not look like that.

Plowing an established garden isn't so bad.   That sod however was a pain.   Wished I could of went a little deeper.

My attempts were in some real mellow dirt in the garden, no trash even! Couldn't get the stupid plow to go in the ground. I gave up and went and got the 45!

I've stolen sweet corn out of that garden and it does look pretty mellow! Force field over the soil the day you were trying to plow it Mike? 😃

That little 782 is set up to plow. 100lbs of weights on each tire plus filled with washer fluid.   Front weights help too.

Might have been! The 45 didn't have any trouble though. Of course, that 73 plow probably weighs more than the 1650/plow with me on it!

I got mad at my tractor this week.  Took it Sunday to the house for my daughter to drive for FFA week...

Checked all the fluids since it has been sitting for a while....found oil in the radiator.   So for most of the week I have been flushing the radiator out, finding an oil cooler and replacing all necessary parts.....

What a mess!  Good thing was the I never had the chocolate milkshake  mix to clean out.

Grandma is babysitting today.

Somehow Cason convinced her up into the 986 to go look for "Da" 😊

 Neat! Nice 15! At this moment I am in Stockbridge for the night. It’s nice to go out of the hotel for a smoke and it is 60 degrees! 

I bet you are enjoying the temps
