I try to get to Edgar at least every couple years. They do have a lot to see in a day though. I'm an hour away and it's always worth the trip, especially the breakfast. Do you know if it's still going to happen this year, with the world spinning the way it is? My cousin was pretty excited to hear Molly B was going to be there this year.

Thanks guys! I hope everyone had a good weekend and took a moment to remember what it's all about.
As far as that "machine," that pretty is my money maker in the winter. Can't complain about this past winter, but the few before that machine could have taken a break.

Welcome. You’re in good (well some are) company. This was the first social media I ever joined as well but that’s well over 15 years ago.

Welcome Mike! Your story is VERY similar to many others stories here . And our wives weren't impressed either. Welcome to the non-impressed wives club

And I forgot the best one. My wife told me I should get a riding lawnmower soon after we bought our house. Well I seen a C with a belly mower on craigslist a few years ago, but didn't bother with it, until my dad found it. He decided "we" needed to look at it. Took a drive and seemed to check out. A week later it followed us home, the first time we visited I asked the owner about any coolant leaks in the basement. "Nope" was his response and the oil wasn't milky, and a lesson learned, check the breather cap before you put something on a trailer and a wrench to crack a drain plug. It sat in the shop for a week and for kicks and grins cracked the drain plug. Only a pint of coolant came out, lol!
So I figured that you can't get an education like this in any school, so decided to overhaul it myself with the help of some neighbors of high mechanical experience. Well life got in the way and the engine is on the stand, cleaned up, half assembled, waiting to be finished.
The wife was NOT impressed by the way! And it may be a little overkill for a lot in town! I did get a rider for in town and some day the C will be handy around the farm.

Well, I've been lurking here for years and usually a new person joins because they need something from you smart folks. Well, I haven't been stumped enough to join before, but have joined because of a classified ad, and trying to help another in allis land out. In the past someone else had the same question that I would Google and get sent this way, hence never needing to join.
Just from what I've noticed, there's plenty of awesome people here, mechanics with years of knowledge, farmers, collectors and just about everyone else in between. Then I've also noticed that there is this one guy from near Blair Nebraska, That has this machine that gets talked about once in a while... he seems like a real nice guy but seems like he could be trouble too lol!
And your probably wonderin what kind of orange I have. Well I have a 1943 C that was my great uncle's. It has a mounted hydraulic lift plow. It sat in the barn for 15 years and decided something needed to be done with it, so a new wiring harness, some steering parts, radiator, tires, and a split to redo the oil pump and now have a handy little tractor. I did leave it 6 volt too. The next one is an 8050 fwd. Some people buy boats or campers, some guy's buy a tractor. We have 100 acres tillable, but rented out. I dabble with a couple acres every year just for fun for our tractor club and help whoever when needed with the 8050. There's a 21 ft 2600 disk, 20 ft D-A field cultivator, and a 6 bottom green plow that goes behind it once in a while. I know you guys are going to want pics, but let me figure things out one step at a time please.
Thanks for having this forum! It's officially the first social media I have joined lol.
