Dug these old girls out of the weeds today for a couple hundred bucks. To my surprise the 520 actually started with some make shift gas line but the 314-8 which reads to be an 02 model is in tough shape with everything seized and locked up sadly it only has 200 hours on it with a like new 42” deck.

Started phase 1 of a 2 piece seat revival in the shade!

I got to watch these hard working men put up my new hangout. Over 100 degrees here today and they showed up at 10am and left at 8:40pm. Back this morning for the roof. Plan on sealing the floor this afternoon when it cools off

Over 100*F in the pole barn today. Good day to clean up and paint some snow plow blades in the cool basement shop.

I lost my wife after 45 years 9 years ago. I know were your at Dan. Will add you to my prayers.

My family has been praying for you and your wife since you first told us about her being sick. We are deeply saddened for your loss. Please reach out to me anytime day or night if you’d like to talk. We are sorry we cannot attend the funeral service today. As I mentioned to you, our doors will always be open for you if you’d like to stay with us to get away for a little while. God bless you my friend, may Rita rest in peace. 🙏❤️

Dan - sorry for your loss. It was 3 years yesterday that my wife passed.... Feel free to PM me if the going gets tough - it will. Bill

Before COLOR TV there were colored strips that could be adhered to the screen to make the sky blue and the grass green when Bonanza was on. Made Hop Sing look a bit funky though.

Thought the collective might enjoy my perforation project... I bought this tractor a couple months ago and turning it into a nice "user"... Won't be a perfect restoration, just a nice addition to my old Toyota 4x4. Rich

Picked this up yesterday. Was only an hour away. Seller said it was sitting for a few years so he had it serviced to get it running. Was asking $800. Got there & cranked w/no start. Ended up getting it for $300! Got it home & after using my small benchtop 20v blower to pressurize fuel tank it started right up! Everything appears to function. This will be new tractor to use with my Bervac. After the heat wave is over I'll go through it addressing maintenance & any possible needed repairs. Paint is faded so hopefully I can get it reconditioned. Have to get manuals printed off & definitely wanna address the "known issues" with this model. Onans are all new to me. 20260702_160202.mp4

If I leave my hitch in and let the tailgate down, the backup camera and alarm beeper freaks out.

desko, a couple hundred bucks for 2 tractors and a loader? SUPER SCORE!!!

Took out the annoying Push button start button and push/pull kill switch..and added all new wires, switches and black plug to fill the huge hole in dash.

I didn’t know 701 day was a thing! I will have to mark the calendar next year. Nice tractors everyone! 701 is my favorite model. This is mine that just bought at the big show. I love the patina on this thing!

Possible the O ring was damaged during installation.... The hose end could be an SAE #6 ORB (O Ring Boss) or SAE#5 ORB #6 threads are 9/16NF #5 are 1/2" NF The orings are Dash #906 or Dash # 905

The 1965 and later 4 speeds have the reworked vented shift rods to help prevent the "sticktion" that results getting stuck in two gears at once.

Dan, I am so very sorry for the loss of your wife. I too lost my beautiful wife of 38 years six years ago. I miss her every day. These are tough times for sure. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. -JD-

@c-series don That’s what I was thinking too. It only ripped out around the holes.

So sorry for your loss Dan.

Look like a weight bracket.

Hauling water out of the creek to water the garden. A pump set up would be nice but I haven’t gotten there yet

Yes sir. They installed it and the sheetmetal this morning. Future meet and greet spot hopefully.

The 20 HP has .030" more lift on the intake lobe and the carburetor has slightly different jetting. The idea that the 20 has more problems, in my opinion, is just Wisdom of the Crowd.

I have already placed it on the calendar for the winter months when I'm stuck inside.

Dan, thank you for sharing your grief with us. I hope it gives you some solace on this very difficult day. You and your wife have been added to my prayers.

Why not, right? Let’s see’m. Actually this is a “sad 702”, but there’s always hope.

Prayers for you and your family, sorry to hear about your loss. Trust the Lord she's in a much better place.

@MainelyWheelhorse How about if you sandwiched that piece with a piece of 1”x1”x1/8” angle iron? Not flat stock, angle iron with give it much greater strength.

Yes

Wow, just wow!!

I plan to be there, but with a smaller display. I’m still recovering from heart surgery.

how do you like the flange you installed on the 42 rd?

I'd start with checking all your grounds and redoing the battery cables. That positive cable looks like it needed replaced 20 years ago.

Yesterday Eloise and Cylvia went camping! Our friend’s pusher “Cylvia” has the 8.3 Cummins that I longed for so badly. Eloise has the 7.2 3126 CAT. Accelerating to highway speeds, or off highway, I felt very light on the throttle. When we arrived to the campground about an hour and a half away, he mentioned how he could not keep up with me on take offs. Once again, the 100 hp lesser engine has impressed me! Happy 250th Independence Day, America!

Last week I replaced both rear axle seals and the brake shaft seal on my 1986 312-8. Next I am going to try to fix my worn out Carter carburetor. the housing where the throttle shaft goes into the carburetor is worn out. I am going to look at making a bushing in the machine shop to repair it as long as it is only the top that is worn out. Tractor runs ok like it is however it is running to lean.

@squonk love the cultivator set. I will play, Here be mine.

These are older photos now. But heres another before and after of a 701

Great, thank you

Cherky... jerky that tastes like chicken (cuz it is)...

Mostly with a USB drive and boredom.

I got tired of trying to find cables that I liked so got all the stuff to make my own. Seem like they are always wrong length, have wrong size ends, etc... I got a hydraulic crimping tool from "horror freight " and never looked back, but Im always trading, buying , working on old WH tractors and stuff so may not be feasible for you to get into making your own.
