Got 'er Done

Hi All,

This is the old tractor that I bought and felt that I had jumped in & bought before I should have given it a real good "think".

Anyway, I was so mad at myself for buying the thing that I (and my bull-headed-ness) vowed to get her back to where she should be. It is now new bumper to bumper.

The wife just asked me how much I had invested in it and I just told her that if it were 1980, I saved $3K less than the asking price when new. :>)

And so it goes,

Allan

Actually, you could say that this is really no more than just an updated, glorified M anyway. lol

In this heavy-soil country and pulling at 8 to 10 inches, they pull a 3 bottom spinner very well. It's only about 62 horse at the drawbar, if I 'member right.

Thanks,

Allan

Great job!! Costs ($$$$) not an issue now!! Enjoy and be proud of it.

Isn't that the darnedest thing? Weird how that works.

For the past few months, every time I walked by the old gal, it seemed like I had to reach for my darned wallet and it was never easy 'cause I knew I was going still deeper in the rears on this project.

Funny, but now I don't care anymore; but I'm still gonna try to buy a 'little smarter' next time.

Thanks for the comeback,

Allan

What type of paint did you use?

I originally bought this thing thinking I'd put the loader over on it. But, the paint is still too green for that & the plans around here have changed a little anyway, so I guess the H has gotta stay under the F-11 for now.

'Sides, that old H yanks me back to the 1950's so fast, it makes my head spin and I like the feeling. :>)

I now want a 966 so bad I can taste it, but the wife has her heart set on a John Deere this time. So, I guess it depends if I run across a good 4020 in the nick of time. Ha

Thanks for the hollar,

Allan
