Your furrow is really straight! Must be doing something right. A lot of plows sitting out here, I run a wire brush on a 4" grinder over them then a flap wheel. That speeds the scouring. Anything that gets that much elbow grease I try really hard to keep inside after that! Made it over to the neighbors with the WD and Drill. He had a bit more to do than I expected! Went through 4 bags of oats and 2 bags of grass. His son was flagging where I seeded and having a hard time keeping up!

Saturday, 4-27 I took the NF 45 on a tractor ride out of Liberty Center Ia. First time that girl has gotten picked. It was the easiest one on short notice. Preformed admirably! Have I ever mentioned to you guys how much I love that tractor? There were only 10 riders. One other Allis, a nicely restored D-19 gas. Two Fords, four Farmalls, a Minnie, and one lone deere. Beautiful country down in Lucas Co. WE drove several miles of 'Minimum maintenance', aka, dirt roads that were marginally dry. At any rate it was a fun day!

Gave the 3pts a workout today on the 170 and 7040 moving things around. We want to expand the garden a bit and these were in the way
Had to brake steer the big one |

I've moved four row heads like that but never a six. Hauled one of those heads about 7 miles to the junkyard.

There are 2 here. One has some pieces missing. This is complete but I wonder if anyone is interested in them.

Saturday, 5-4, changed starters in the NF 45. Old one shot craps the Sunday before. Changed it then to one that was 'on the shelf'. Had another one that was on the shelf too that was dead. Out of curiosity I called Ankeny auto electric to see how much longer they were going to be open. Today and one more was the answer, rats! He asked what I needed? Explained the situation, bring them up, we'll get them done. That changed the course of my day but I happily hauled two starters and an alternator there. Alternator checked good and we talked about the 6-12 volt thing. They set both up for 12 volts. Thought I might as well put a correct one in the tractor, they were taking up space on the bench I needed to do some brake work on a Farmall, easy way to make space! The other will go in the WF 45 as soon as it gets close to the shop. I just started using this shop a couple months ago, really sucks they are retiring. They sold to some younger guys that are moving it to Slater. That will add about 40 miles to the journey. Probably give them a try sometime in the future. The old hindsight thing. Had I found out about these guys a year earlier, they would have gone through every starter and alternator I own!

Took the wd45 out with the 2 bottom disk plow i got from farmer zzz . Plow seemed to work pretty well, need to adjust one of the scrapers. Tractor struggled with traction which surprised me. Both rear tires are brand new and loaded with beet juice. Guess i am going to add some weight to the land wheel

My accountant and I have been clearing an area for a larger garden and we've been dismantling an old mobile home on the property. The 170 moved some small items such as an All Crop drill and a sprayer. After that we hooked up a new to us 190XT to brush mow the area
The 200 was called in to pull some small trees and relocate the MH frame to another spot for cutting up. 190XT back in action with the spring tooth harrow to work over the sweet corn patch. The 170 will pull the JD 494 we got from 200Tom tomorrow hopefully |

Had a mostly Orange weekend. Saturday, dumped some gas in WD Micha and headed back over to the neighbors to reseed his waterways I did back in April. They were looking good, until, the coop sprayed the corn in 25 mph wind. Wow, they smoked them s.o.b's. They used to spray for me but no longer, new guy seems to be doing a good job. After returning home I did some work on the North drive with the 856 and big-ox blade. That was the non-Orange part. It also went for a tractor ride later on. Once I got that hard packed clay scraped off, got CA-2 out and drug the harrow section around. That thing really worked great for that, probably used less fuel than the 45 would have too. Sunday, seeded some grass on the North side of that drive where Dan got the clay for the building pad. Drill is staying on that WD until the building is done and I can reseed the rest of the yard. More harrowing with CA-2. Then loader work with the 6080. Had some stumps ground back in February, dug the chips and dirt out and moved to the burn pile. Well, got one done and two partial scoops out of the other. Filled the hole with black dirt Dan saved me from the pad. Got some seed on it between showers but it just cut loose before I could rake it in. Guess we'll see how that goes!

Hopefully the rain pushed the seed in some for you.
I worked the seed bed for second sweet corn with 190XT and 3pt harrow. Planted it with 170 pulling JD494. Then the 7040 and 1350 FC to get beans done with the 7045 and DA385. I tried (miserable fail) to se the WD45 and SC 3 bottom to turn some sod for the garden expansion. It’s been a long time since I’ve run an outfit like that. Dad had his WD with six cylinder conversion pulling a similar plow but he had it set up and all I did was operate it for a while. This time around I need to learn to set the thing up to work together and a small plot is no way to learn. |
