Somebody on here posted about removing the bushings on a wd 45 seat. I was just as ugly for me as it was for him. Need to buy a hydraulic press

Clearing trails thru the pines. Used the D12 and 5ā€™ bush hog to shred branches and bushes after cutting with brush cutting blade on weed eater. Has to be done every few years or the trail will become impassable. Might try to find a herbicide to use this year. About 2 hours on the weed eater is all I want for a day.

I removed two more brake pins from a parts WD. Added those pins to my bin of 20 plus pins. Anyone need brake shoes? I have a shelf full of them. The pins are for sale also.

Pulled the new to me 9 shank disc chisel with the 7040. Was only running about 8" deep cuz the duals are not on and these tires ain't that good. Plus it's kinda wet out there. A little late in the year perhaps but only just got the corn done last weekend. No frost yet

I loaded the WD45 on a rented trailer and took it to Owosso Tractor Parts for and engine refresh (i.e. in frame rebuild). This should be a once in a lifetime rebuild. I should get it back on the 15th. They are also going to do a full tune up and rebuild the carburetor.  It should be running great when I pick it up.

Allis folks,
 Goth the rebuilt seat on the D14 snow plow unit. I realized someone had welded one of seat pivot points. But it was in the slightly wrong position. So cut it off, re positioned and welded it back on. These are somewhat complex seats. This one needs rebuilt and new bushings at most of the joints.
We have a dusting of snow.
Regards,
 Chris and Cheryl

Almost finished putting stuff away. Just one rotobaler in front of the dental office. It appears seals last only 60 years. Sometimes some patients drive me to 10 minutes of"time out"

Got the 720 out yesterday and pushed a little gravel around. First time that girl has been out of the shed in quite awhile! Going to hook the NF 45 on the single harrow section today and smooth things out.

Got the 45 hooked on the No. 4 Sub-Soiler and got it in the dirt! You can really tell the spots that need this treatment!

After logging several hours dragging 3-16's around this fall I decided it was time for a little service of the wide-front 45. Oil bath wasn't bad but it was time. Didn't need a putty knife to get the crap out of the bottom at least. Hit everything with the grease-gun, including throw-out bearing. That's an easy one to forget about!

A buddy of mine has been going to plow-days with me this fall, he's getting better at running the tractor/plow. Have told him how easy that old 45 is to plow with, just drop the front tire in the furrow and go! If he goes with me to another one I may take the Narrow Front just so he can see the difference. It works good too but you do have to pay closer attention!

Pretty sure there will be one or possibly two more plow-days close enough for me to get to yet this fall.

I may drop the plow and put the No. 4 Sub-soiler on and do a bit of ripping. Think soil conditions are about right. Have always pulled it with the NF 45, think it might be interesting to run with the wide? I have a hard time keeping straight lines with the narrow.

I installed the hand crank in my WD45. I dropped a 7/8 impact socket on my forehead in the process. Embarrassed (I was using it to help press the back pin with a C clamp.) Now, what I don't know, and the operating instructions do not address, is which direction to I turn the crank? Clockwise or Counter Clockwise?

Did a little work on the series 3 yesterday. Because of the broken stop-bolt and not being able to spin the wheels in, changed wheels and tires on her. Narrowing it up will go along way toward getting her under a roof this winter. These wheels will spin in one more hole, that should gain another 8". Looks kind of sad with the small rubber on it though.
As you can see in the first picture, removed the pie weights. They even have the correct bolts! Three of them had the cotter pins holding them in place. Never seen any before. What a novel idea to simplify weight installation.

I had shoulder surgery in June.  Starter went out on the 1940 B at the same time.
Very convenient for us both!  But, we've both been rebuilt and I got the starter back
on yesterday and it fired up on the second try.  I took it for several spins on some
local roads and came home and put the Woods mower deck down and mowed up
a lot of leaves.  It's good to be back!

Took D-17-2 for a quick spin, thing runs really nice. Power director doesn't jump out of high or low and has surprisingly good brakes. It was just a matter of getting a sediment bowl on it that doesn't leak. I THINK I'm going to change the rear wheels/tires if time permits. Just to narrow it up for storage purposes.

Used the 190XT to help get 3 large trees down that the power co trimmed 9 months ago. Attached a long cable 20ā€™ up the tree and had Charlie keep tension on the tree as I finished my cut. Worked very well and fell the trees just where I wanted them.

12 yr old grandson has been begging to plow so drug out the old 4 bttm snap coupler. Added 600lb of wheel weights (no fluid) to the 45, widened rt wheel track and stuck a dual on the left. Plow has the good bottoms (387?) w/coverboards and steering tail wheel. Plowed cornstalks and it worked SWEET! Plowing uses too much fuel and time but I rode the fender and got to watch that dirt flip!!! Kinda bitter sweet.

Used my 621 forklift to reach 16' where my roof line starts to put down a new surface on my roof.  The roof line runs to 33' at the peak.  Since I am doing this job solo I wouldn't have been able to do the job without it.  Worth its weight in GOLD!

Today was fender painting day for my WD45. No fancy paint booth, just a canvas shed. Not the best fender on earth, but this is not a show tractor so it is fine. It made it to about 70 today. Not many painting temperature days left this season, so I needed to get this done. I hope to get a lot done on restore this weekend.
