 Topic: Another 185
Posted: 23 Dec 2023 at 3:23pm |
Ready for raking 2024 hay. Her stall mate, another identical 185 is also done and ready to rake the next hay crop. Each tractor has its own double rollabar rake set up with NH 256’s and 258’s. All front and rear weights taken off, not needed.

 I miss the 185 we had here. Handiest tractor of all with a 500 loader on it. No where near as nice as yours but loved it anyway

All weights taken off does that include nothing in the tires? looks good. I sometimes wish I had an extra 190 or 200 with no weights or fluid for light work.

It sure would be fun to see all your tractors lined up. These two look beautiful together.

Racing striped “Crop Hustler.” For its era & still today, the One-Eighty/185s were/still are awesome tractors.
Congrats Dana. You get to enjoy many hours of genuine AC 301 diesel talk. Those are wonderful sounding engine!

Nice looking tractor. Wish I had the patience to learn to remove dents & paint, couple of mine need it. I'm a spray can only painter & not real good with them.
