    A few weeks ago I posted a video of a guy I know blowing snow on his farm with a big John Deere. Yesterday I went past his farm and he had the doors of what was the family’s potato barn open. So I stopped in to say hi and snapped a few pictures. Two of these Farmalls were bought brand new by his family. Obviously they have been restored! They have been farming in this area for over 350 years. Yes 350 years. While we were talking, his uncle stopped by and was telling us about farming potatoes in their heyday. About filling the barn to the rafters with potatoes year after year and the amount of men, machinery and time it took. It was very interesting, I felt like I could have listened to him all day. I could actually see it in his eyes how proud he was of his family farm.

    Morning, Came across this on marketplace.. seller about 50 miles round trip.. asking $10.00. Said he’s sat on seat and it’s not rusted through but will need 2 new 4.80/4.00-8 tires. Had idea of once I get my 856 driving running again. Would it be a safe or good idea to fix this up, paint it to match 856 and have someone ride on it behind possibly with a tongue extension between the tractor hitch and sulky?

    There were a variety of cast iron or stee3l lugs that could be bolted to the steel wheels for traction. Here I am at about three years old on out family Farmall with my Dad.

    March 21, 1952, 20,000 people attempt to attend the first-ever rock & roll concert when Alan Freed presents "The Moondog Coronation Ball" at the old 12,000-seat Cleveland Arena; performers include Paul Williams and the Hucklebuckers, Tiny Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders, The Dominoes, and Varetta Dillard.

    I feel like snow season is over for me…so the 867 hauled the summer tires/wheels to the garage and the winter ones back to the basement.

    The Farmall F-14 came out in the late 1930s. It was more common to see steel wheels than rubber tires. For today's parades and shows, it's also common to cover the steel rims with a smoother surface, like the "slicks", to keep the steel rims from damaging road surfaces. If that F-14 would be used in the field, it wouldn't have those "slicks" coverting the steel rims, as it would robbed the tractor of any traction.

    Haven't done much yet today, but we took the kids, (daughter, son, and son's "She's not my girlfriend") skating last night, for the second Friday in a row. Something tells me we don't have long before that title gets shortened a bit.

    I just finished up putting on longer front spindles on the 1257 and greased everything up, along with tie rod adjustment. There was nothing wrong with the original ones, but the longer ones help a bit with the stance since there’s big tires on the back and also helps with clearance.

    To fix the oil drain pipes, I run a tap in till it begins to cut new threads, then I use a new pipe nipple so the threads aren't worn. I use red threadlocker after cleaning the thread thoroughly.

    I bought this from Mike a.k.a. Sparky a few years ago. This came from the big show in 23 or 24. Maybe Mike can chime in. I believe around there. I was going to sell this one until I took it out of the shed and could not believe how it started right up after sitting out there for six months. I’ve been tweaking it a little bit for the last couple days. The last thing I needed for it was a coil so I bought an Excel coil #8140. I got this info from squawk. He used to be electrician so I figured he knows what he’s talking about. This is a nice little tractor.Great for going around in the shows. So hopefully I did better on this video than the last. Let me know what you’re thinking. I’m a big boy I can take it. I look up in the manual section and this engine is an A prefix so that being it is a 65 engine in a 66 frame. Again enjoy the vid.

    Saw that polar vortex was kicking at you guys again. Luckily I don't think it'll reach us this time. We've already seen 90 degrees several days here in the last 3 weeks. Also had a swing to 20 in the same 12 hour period. Pretty normal spring for us I guess.

    We're planning on having the excavator back in the next few weeks. Several different projects. Some clearing of trees to the right of the house. Also more opening up the forest and felling some specific trees. A larger area beyond & behind the barn & shed. Fell several trees around the current frog pond. Recut the stream up and downstream from the pond. Flatten out a large area behind the barn.

    Decks stay on the 160 and 875 all year long except for the Steam Pageant. Plow will come off of the 857 when yard clean up starts in April, and the plow on the 953 will come off in May

    3'' to 6'' here tomorrow. Here we go again. The last 3'' we got I didn't even plow it. Got out the 5000 lb tractor and made consecutive passes until it was all packed down. The next day the sun took care of it.

    When searching the manuals the file results will come up with the last modified at the top of the list which means nothing to anybody. It is just like the forums - last post is first. On the right side you will see a box "Sort by". Click on that and select "Title". Now the whole section will be in chronological order that makes sense.

    Got heads off and decarboned heads and combustion chambers/pistons. I found it a lot easier to work on by removing 3 of the motor mount bolts and turning motor for access to rear cylinder. Good thing I did because oil drain pipe is loose and I’m going to have to take apart and seal/ tighten it up. Between oil drain and loose oil filter it was pretty oily down there. Top of engine was good and dry . The old valve cover gaskets were stuck pretty good to block. I did start to adjust valves but my feeler gauge was at home so had to quit for for the day. Haven’t even got started on carb and intake manifold but exhaust should be good for another 30yrs after good coat of paint. Quick question, do any of y’all use any kind of sealer on valve cover gasket’s.

    Removed the snow blade and chains from my C141. Didn’t use it one time this winter. Installed the mower deck, then mulched some leaves that blew in over the winter.

    A lot depends on the condition of the automatic, and of course the engine. If it is a low hours machine with honest history, it may be worth it. High hours with a sketchy past, maybe best to walk away.....

    Any 4/4.8-8 tires. Wheelbarrow tires you want to keep the cost down. Be sure to tube them.

    Shortly after this spring fling plowed day in 3 weeks from today (I’m not ready!), we’ll be flying to meet our family in Colorado, and our new RV. April 14 is the cut off for the local Auction House, and April 21 is the sale date of the coach. We will get a check in 2 weeks from sale date, to forward on to Julie and David in Colorado. Before we see the Turd off, Colleen is getting Alcoas and brand new Toyos! Since the condition of wheels and tires does not seem to change sale value, we are swapping tires betwix the bus and the RV. Colleen will be rolling pretty! Once the ground thaws enough to move the bus around front, that is… It was 32 degrees morning with frost on the ground, but it’s still not hard enough to crawl away from the garden.

    Rolled into the Delaware Beach house yesterday amid heavy rain and warnings oy 75MPH winds. Lucky the winds peaked out at 45MPH but the temp dropped to 28* this morning. I made the girls (Mrs. K and her two sisters) a deer hunters breakfast this morning. Venison scrapple, sausage, and puddin with home fries and eggs. Then took a walk on my crowed beach to walk off a few cal. t'wis a short walk at 28* and 45mph wind. 98.6* in the tub warmed the old bones up.
