 Topic: 2010 year in review...pics or posts
Posted: 12 Dec 2010 at 5:05pm |
As 2010 is winding down, I thought it would be cool to start a thread containing this year in review. Post anything, tractors, trucks, shops, anything cool that you want to. Maybe a project you worked on and completed, or didn't. Post anything you want that happened in 2010, good or bad!
Here is mine, this WD that we are currently working on. A corn picker will be attached to this sometime in the near future. Hope that this gets things kicked off.....

I was in my one and only tractor show this summer, won't bother doing that again. While I had the loader off I had my cylinders rebuilt, cost me $800, hope I never do that again.

2010 for me was the year of high dollars stuck in my rear end...of my One-Ninety project that is. It started out as a third gear fix, which led to fourth gear, new collar, better shape second gear, ring gear and pinion, and a different rear end housing due to the pinion shaft bearing had spun at one time and somebody just put it back together that way and left it for the next guy...me. I had thoughts of just parting it out but there wasn't anything good to part out really. It is back together now and drives and shifts great. 2011 will be the year of the motor and new paint. I've stuck alot of money into it but it will be most likely the only tractor I ever own and this model is exactly what I wanted.

2010 Was a good year for AC around my place.
Bought the 620 with snow blower, wheel weights, and chains in April
Got this 59 D14 rebuilt and running, and won best original at the local show in the summer
Found out my 6080 puts out a bit more than the 83 hp it is rated at. Dynoed at a little over 100 hp in the summer
Finally, I bought the D15 II
Almost too much fun for one year!

Our son seems to have a knack for using a spray gun. He is hoping to fix up a tractor for his next project. We have our eye on a WD45 with widefront for him. I hope we can make that work out. We are proud of his talents and are hoping to encourage him more.

Fun idea for a post, Don. Lots of great stuff going on! After 40-plus years of sitting on flat tires in a corner of the barn, my wife and I unearthed the old kit-built trailer her grandfather used to take camping. To my surprise, the tires (Ward's Riversides) inflated are still holding air. Haven't got a clue when it was built. A Model T friend says the axle is from the front end of a 1918 Model T. I'm hoping to rig a ball hitch on the D-14 to use it on chores around the property. The trailer drawbar is a foot higher than the tractor's but we'll come up with something.

Dad finally started showing his tractor along with mine. He bought a gooseneck to haul his JD A and my D14 around (in the meantime, Mom had a cow). I really enjoyed spending time with Dad at the shows and meeting new people.
I joined The Butler Co. Antique Engine and Tractor Club located in Morgantown, KY. I've really enjoyed their friendship and look forward to having shows and rides with them next year!
Made a trip to Wisconsin this fall and picked up a John Deere H for Dad. He basically funded my D14 rebuild so I owe it to him to help on the JD.

This was taken when I got Lena out of the woods in May 1999.  This was early this summer and she has since had a new water pump,radiator added,and gas tank. Air cleaner is almost ready and the steering wheel is going to Minn-Kota.  And she runs great and was driven around the outside of the shop(not mine). I need to get the fenders fixed up and do the wiring for E start and there are a few other odds and ends to finish up. I started on it in the spring of 2000 and had every nut and bolt out of her. I had the engine assembled minus the pan, head, and front cover before my accident so I hired a guy to figure out where I left off.

Mine is a continuous project. When I find time after work, once the kids are taken care of, and into the wee hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings..... Getting there, couple of little things to take care of and then I can put all my new goodies on.

It was a pretty good year. Took a road trip to Indiana and brought home an AC #2 plow. Took tractors to three shows. We got the old 72 combine out for the first time. Bought a 90 for next year, and plowed a few acres so the boys could see how to do it. Got the flatbed on my pickup and painted the trailer. Brought home another IH #8 plow (free and only about a mile from home) Had a road trip up to MI to pick up a snap coupler disk (Thanks Don Snow)

I got to attend the Orange Power of the past along with Bob Henry from Northern Illinois for the 1st time this year. It was very enertaining to see! We watched Dale & his son preparing to do a Wasp Hat Dance after disturbing there home in the baler. Also Bertman starting his pulling capabilities. Bob & I got our exercise covering the show both days and decided that we could use a relaxing cart for transportation for next year!

Redline, a cow and a calf and some fencing will solve that problem, but you won't get to play on the Orange as much. Or you could rake it and bale it and sell to some Horse collector. Charlie

The 220 isn't bertman, its Jeff Fultz (jeffinil). That was a fun beginning to a very long day! LOL!
