What did you do with your Allis Today?

Finally got it to start after suffering through -30 F wind chill for two days.

The undiluted jug of antifreeze I had sitting beside it for top offs was the consistency of a half thawed slushy on Sunday. So it gets a pass for not starting in the subsubzero temps.

Went to back it out of the garage, the 8 year old 6v battery finally had enough.

Spent several hours discing on my old D 15 yesterday. A good day! Favorite son may post a couple pics.

Spent part of the morning plowing about a foot of Shameless "pretty" out of the farmyard and driveway!! The WD fired up right away this morning at -20C after siting idle most of the winter. Guess the "pretty" just arrived late! Angry

This is a 'what I did for' my Orange tractors type post. Bugged out of the auction after the tractors sold and headed South to look at an 880 Oliver. It's Okay, no power steering and a little high on the price. It is a diesel. They also have a 1650 gas, really kind of liked it, drives nice. Hydra-power works great. There again, little high on the price, and it's a gas. Oliver is the feature at our local show this summer and I'd like to have something to park on the hill. 1755 diesel about top of the list. Have a nice 4-14 565 semi-mount to hook to one.

After talking with these nice people and since I was less than 20 miles away, called up Luke R. We had talked about a pair of wheel weights the last time I visited him and Dale. Stopped in Osky and picked up a solenoid for D 17-1, and a piece of pizza, then continued on. Was kind of a quick visit with the guys, Luke showed me some treasure he picked up at the swap meet. Really need to get back down there.

Now if I can just get that D-17 to cooperate, will use it to mount the weights on the 6080, hopefully. Should add, broke down and took the starter to a shop, it now has a clean bill of health and is residing comfortably in the tractor.

Favorite son posted a couple pictures for me .
Today I removed the broken center piece. I'll shop for a new disc soon , Thanks.

No idea what brand that spring-tooth is but see your accountant making a cameo in the picture.

I disced the garden with the NF 45 and did a bunch of loader work with the 6080. The dirt in the garden is REALLY mellow! Was going over the spools on the disc. Even planted some radishes and turnips.

Yesterday I put the new 20" disc on and used My D 15 to disc up our roads/firebreaks. Thanks

Got the #17 loader mounted today, moved some dirt around the yard. Works awsome. Talk about a trip down memory lane. We had a #17 loader just like this on this tractor when I was growing up.

I hope to make the NF 45 here more useful as well now that I have it running again. One item is returning the snap coupler hitch to the New Idea rake and use it as I did growing up

Took the bale spear off the 180 and put the bucket on. Brought up 14 buckets full of compost and put on the garden. Hadn't done this for two years and it needed it.

Graded my driveway with the blade. Fixed the entrances where the county dug nice ruts when they did the road, and added a better drainage pitch and smoothed the rest of the run. It was a blast.

7040 and 4 bottom plow. Turned over an acre of sod.

Go easy on me. This plow has not been used in 10 years and sits outside. The grease washed away so the sod didn't slide as well as it should and didn't shine up much but its done. With no guidance I adjusted as seemed appropriate.
