Crisis Over

Okay,

I've worked myself right out of a job.

IH sent the wrong light; sent one for a cab model, but we used some old fashioned Nebraskan engineering and got 'er done. All 7 lights work when and how they are supposed to.

This was the absolute last thing I had to repair on this old tractor. Next..... .. :>)

Here's what the old sow looked like just after we unloaded it & after we threw the new tires on.

Then immediately following, I found both clutches were bad, bad rear end bearings and PTO bearings, axle seals shot, bad T/A, slave hydraulic pump shot, seat joists & seat gone, frozen drawbar, missing center link and retainer, & both lift arms were frozen solid with Iowa rust.

And many more items too numerous to mention.

I'm ashamed to tell you what I have in this old thing; but I kinda like it now.

Thanks

Yeah, the hurt is over now, but my wallet is dog-eared from pulling it out of my pocket all the time and my elbow has a permanent 90 degree kink.

I'm really ashamed of myself for spending so much on it, but I love these old red things and I'm happy now.

I had the darndest time with the old thing a smokin' blue when it was cold. After I worked the snot out of it for a few days, it cleared right up....it must have been setting for a long time or somptin'.

Trouble is, now it seems like I'm always washing it; whats' up with that deal, anyway?

Hi Pard,

Oh sorry. I've got pictures of this thing splattered over four countys. Figured everyone was gettin' a little sick of looking at it. :>)

That platic thing is just an old habit from the hands of an old man. That seat will last a year longer over it's lifetime if you leave the plastic on to begin with.

Yes, the tires are loaded; 1013 lbs each side. When I get her down in the flat country, they will probably have to be emptied, but up here in the hills I don't wanna have her laying over on her side. :>)
