I outbid a scrapper for this a while back
First thing I've done with it. It's the only thing I have that would lift this lathe. |

Did a little stalk chopping with the 185, with a D-17 gas tank strapped to the wheel. Shot some video, will post a link when I get it uploaded. Just need to get the media and diesel fuel out and wash it up. Should be ready to go back on after that.

That's always a good feeling! I am a proponent of good tires on tractors, or anything else for that matter.

Harrowed the driveway with CA-2. That seems to be it's main job and it's perfect for it. Got the 720 running and brought it to the house in preparation for winter. Not sure exactly where it will sleep this winter just yet. Trying to get things organized before that frozen stuff flies.

Got D-17-2 running, (barely) and moved it to a different building. I think the real problem is rust in the sediment bowl neck. I'll chase that another day.

Cleaned up and repainted the brackets for the heat houser since that will be going back on soon. The jam bolt holes on the lower brackets were worn out so I drilled to the next size, tapped the threads and gave them new hardware. Got as close to the original green as I could.

In the garden yesterday, ran the No. 4 sub-soiler with the NFE 45. Plowed the first furrow with the WFE 45. Then the experimentation began. Plowed a few passes with the D-15 and 62 plow. It's really a 63 that has been cut down. At any rate, it didn't work too bad. Then the curiosity bug bit me, put the 52 on to see if it would go in the ground. Well, not the best. Did eventually get it to plow, just not well. Ground was like concrete, looks nasty today. Decided to just finish with the 45. So I used two tractors and three plows to do about 1/4 acre. 6080 was on loader duty as always.

Sold a little Allis 912 garden tractor so I moved around some stuff in the "keep" pile. This loader sure has been handy. |

Yesterday, drove one of my Red girls, (856), to a local plow day. My buddy Dan pulled the WFE 45 up on the trailer. I plowed with the 8 for awhile and Dan the 45. After lunch I showed him how to run the 856 and semi-mount Oliver plow. He picked it up pretty quickly and I took a few rounds on the 45. Good news on this front, my coulter work seems to have helped and the 73 did as good a job as any of the small rigs. Ground was insanely hard! Some of the bigger semi-mounts were even floating up out of the ground at times.

I got the 7580 back in the field. I bought this tractor last spring. It wasn't running at the time, and was advertised as a parts tractor. The front PTO shaft bearing had gone out and exploded the driveshaft. I did a lot of work over the summer, and just barely got it back in the field. Hopefully going to get a few more things done before next year, like sandblast and paint the rims, install some fenders and get some wiring fixed. Maybe add three point if it works out.

Not my tractor but I picked a load of ear corn with a WD and mounted picker yesterday at a friends place. Always a good time over at Dan's. Today, going to get my WD out and clean the seed out of the drill. Left it in there thinking I'd seed around the new buildings this fall..... Well, it's so dry weeds won't even grow!

Neighbor thought he was going to be 50 bales short for his sheep so rotobaled a couple of acres for him. Why does the baler always work the best the last time you use it? Made 80 bales in little over an hour. Corn still too wet to pick so try and get caught up on the day job

Nothing today, still too wet.
But I'm up to over 1100. 335 6' hay bales 815 6' straw bales Still may have to roll up straw on another 130 acres of barley. Won't know for a few days. all this was done with my 7060. If I could widen my tread, it would be the PERFECT baling tractor for me.

Tripped over mine mostly yesterday. That time of year, getting things ready for harvest. Was going to pull some wagons around with the NF 45 but got bogged down working on the grain truck. Maybe today will be the day? Did take the D-15 for a short ride. Checked some corn, one field is about 20%. If it stays dry, might combine some next weekend.

Yeah, I warned them about shorts but they insisted they were fine. They did concede I was right
This is a shooter but he immediately layed down over the bait leaving me no shot. The blind was 30yds to the left. This is a sow that brought 3 cubs to the bait site. We don't shoot bears with cubs. Blind was set up on the ground 30yds out at both bait stations Edited by plummerscarin - 14 Sep 2024 at 11:03pm |

Don't leave us hanging did you get a bear, didnt happen if there's no pictures. At least we know you made it back unharmed since you posted. Good picture of the helpers all smiling too, hope they enjoyed it, they will look back at today with fond memories in years to come and bet next time they wear jeans.
