What did you do with your Allis Today?

Mowed around some fields with the 170XT

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.

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!

Struggling with putting camshaft thrust cover back on with all the parts on my D 15 Series II

Used the 7045 to flatten several rolls of woven wire to haul off for scrap

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.

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.

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

Dusted off the D-15 and took it on a tractor ride yesterday! First time it's been out of the shed this year. No flat tires this year! Need to change the oil in it, might do that this morning. Going on another ride this afternoon but taking a Red one on it. It needs a little love too so maybe we change oil in the 15 while changing the fuel filters on the 856. That 8 is getting a pair of new batteries today too!

Hooked on to the 303 with the 170 and baled some grass hay. The thrower smoked a belt so I was the thrower today. The grandkids helped out stacking. It is their first venture in to hay making

My old self propelled mower conditioner was not working well so the grass was cut with the 170 and Woods rotary. That was 2 weeks ago. There was a delay in baling cuz I spent a week in Ontario bowhunting bears

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

Nothing today, still too wet.

Just a little brush hogging at my buddys place this weekend. He wants to do a pumpkin patch here in the spring.
