Wow, that's impressive... Thanks for your continued service and for sharing these.

Nor is it green and white, or blue... :) We used to run Olivers, then it was Massey-Harris/Fergusson, then it was John Deere (had a cousin who owened the local dealership), then it was Ford/New Holland (other cousin owned this delearship and made better deals...). Now, we just keep...

Well, given those kinds of numbers compared to what you had dry, I'd say that most likely the problem with is worn rings, badly scored or out of round cylinders, or an all of the above combination. I had a engine that was run for a while without an air cleaner (before I purchased it) that had...

Just thought that I would bump this up to the top again... I see that it has been submitted to MVMagazine (it's on the on-line version of the calendar now, thanks).

Hmmm, I'm getting ready to swap in a rebuilt magneto from Bill Watson this weekend on my 274A5. I'll try to take some photos although I don't think that I'll try to compete in the stream shooting competition... I've also got to mount the new tires... Update: I had to call Bill while working...

Not a Bighorn or a Bison... Actually either a LCF or a HCF Dodge (Bighorn's came later, are larger, have more integrated fenders, and had a MUCH smaller production run...). LCF (or C series) was introduced in 1960 and ran until 1975. For info, see: http://www.olddodges.com/index1.htm and click...

Michelin designed the 1100r16 XL/XZL to fit a 6.50H rim. The wider tire is not designed by them to fit a rim this narrow. I suspect that you can squeze it on although you might have to fight it (it comes down to sidewall stiffness for the most part), but if something happens, you will be in...

I paid $300 for one a couple years ago that had a funky adapter in place of the lunette ring that converted it to a ball hitch (unbolted it, sold it to a guy in California, installed correct lunette ring...) and a bit of rust on the front panel. Still need to fix the rust and install a new...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Massey isn't really British anymore... :( They've been hit by consolidation like a whole lotta other companies... To quote from thier homepage: "In 1995, Massey Ferguson was purchased by the US-based AGCO Corporation." Massey Ferguson had been formed in 1953...

Re: grease Ahhh, Agri-Supply... One of my favorite places (main store location/warehouse is six miles from the house...). I spend way too much money there... :) I second the motion about the air (or the battery operated) grease guns. It takes a good afternoon for me to do all the...

It is going to work for a living. It will keep the stock size tires, but they may change from bias NDT to radial XL... I'm not going to say but the real question isn't how much I paid GL for it, but how much I will have in it before it starts earning it's keep...

I really wish you had some photos of that tow from the GL lot... Must have been some sight! The stream of rusty snot out of the pipe when she cranked up was a photo we all wish we had. :) I've got a tag trailer for it. Now, I just need to get the XM708 dump fixed up so that the big one...

There was also a discussion once about using a Facet 24volt pump of the correct size plumbed into the fuel line between the tank and the first filter if you did not mind having the truck "non-original". It was a less expensive option for a new pump, but it did require some reworking of the...

Ahhhh.... NICE! It's been years since we've gotten anything new on the farm... I'm envious. What are you growing?

One more of the rear end... The tires aren't as nice as they look. Several have deep cuts in the tred (down to the inner casing...).

Let's try the obvious spot that needs a little work (diesel doo blowing back into cab=bad). Red stuff on batteries is rus that blew out of the exhaust (must have pumped a gallon or so of rusty water overboard when she cranked up...)

Let's see if I can get a couple photos of the M817 sitting in the driveway to post. Photos taken durring the trip to Ohio to get the truck will have to wait on the film to be developed, but I found the digital camera yesterday (sitting under the Mule where I had been taking photos of some work I...

Worse case (ie, if you don't feel up to driving it with a chase car and none of the guys in Southern Maryland or NoVA can help you) is that I can drive up to the farm in Syria in my M35A2C for the Fourth, and we can ride over and snag your truck on July 5 or 6 (assuming that you can get on Meade...

I'm not on you direct route between VA and GA (I'm in Raleigh), but post up your route and schedule through NC when you figure it out and we'll see if we can get together for a meal or a drink or a wave as you go by... :)

So I was watching Hell's Kitchen this week and the challenge was for the two teams to feed breakfast to a bunch of Active Duty Navy and Army personell. Loosing team had to peal and scrape onions and potatoes for one of the mess halls... Thing is, they delivered the onions and potatoes to the...
