Changed the oil in the 6080. Have a new air filter to go in one of these days, loader has to come off to do that so I keep putting it off. It's not like this thing is out working in dusty conditions but I would like to get it done this year.

Cut the old steering wheel off of my B, with the "wheel of death" and installed a new/used one picked up at a tractor show earlier this summer. Then went for a test drive to be sure it wouldn't come off in my hands! Success!

Mowed some areas with the 170 and Woods 3pt brush cutter. Moved some round bales in for storage with the 7045 and the 200 got to grade a bit of the driveway with a 3pt blade.

Used the fr30 to move an old grain bin out of the way for a barn that we are moving from my old place to the calving corrals. Put the dividers on the front of the 8010 and started mowing the male bays out of the seed canola field.

It all started out simple enough; remove a broken front lug bolt. After every trick in my book, I failed to remove it. I ended up taking it to a machine shop to remove the bolt. In the process, I took the hub apart. The front bearing looked like it was greased sometime in the last 10 years, but the rear looked like it had the original 70 year old grease! Today's task is to clean and grease the bearings. Then put it all back together. Then since I did one side, I might as well do the other side! I am learning that in antique tractors, there are no simple projects!

Since we haven't had much rain in the last 2 months, not much going on our farm besides feeding our cattle. No 2nd cut hay making, my XT has sit idle since the beginning of June as most of the tractors. Hooked the 160 to our Woods brush mower and mowed thistles in our pasture fields along with my older brother Jim running the D15 II and NH sickle mower. Fun to be back on a tractor but sure wish we was making hay.

Had a flat front tire on the 1940 B. Removed the front steer and had it patched. Turns out I had a couple of sharp thorns stuck in it. Good to have it all back together again.

Started my XT for the first time since early June. No hay to mow or bale so I used it to pull a large tree limb to the burn pile. Hooked up my 4 bottom series 70 plow so I can replace the shares. If we don’t get a good rain soon it all will be sitting idle again. Used the D15 to sickle mow some weeds, practically the only thing growing.

Put the "70" series 3X14 plow on Series IV D-17 and plowed garden. Might have a plow day coming up and wanted to know it was ready to go!

Finished a repair on the WD45, which has been needed for over 50 years  . You see, Grandpa dropped a tree on the tractor 50 years ago. It mangles the gas tank which Grandpa hack a patch together for it. I did not realize how bad it was until I took the old tank off! Yes, I think it held gas but I would not have called it safe. So I restored a used tank and it is now on the tractor! On to the next restoration task.

Ahh, mowing the back field is always a pleasure. It had been a while since I’d done a full pass, so it was satisfying to see the tall grass finally cut down. After that, I hooked up the trailer to haul some firewood from the woodshed to the house. The old tractor ran like a champ, as always

Got the NFE 45 out and hooked on the 7' disc, worked up a little piece I had worked over when the dozer was here. Was an old cow-path. Guy that bales the grass hay didn't like it, better now. Then got WD 'Micha' out and drilled some grass seed and oats. If we get rain now, that will be a positive.

Reckon you can figure out what I did  To be honest, my accountant did the raking while I played golf  . She refused to use the WD45 and snap coupler rake but this was an open field for easy work

Plummer, hope the air works in that bailing tractor! Would have been a pretty miserable job if not. It's great the better half is willing to rake.
I took the WF 45 to the power washer to get the mud off the tires from plowing a M-town. Then remembered there might be a plow day this coming weekend. Oh well, at least it's clean for a bit.

Golf was good. Only play once a year with brother and 2 cousins. Damn hot tho. I did a 134 conversion on that 7040 but for some reason have lost power to the compressor. Another fixit project!
