New job for that 1066

Put the loader on it today.

Now we'll test out that tractor.

You make it look so darned easy. Sometimes, I think I'm my own worst enemy. :>)

That outfit sure ought to do the trick.

The bottom trunion(sp) on the steer cylinder was gone.(:~})

Put a new set in it yesterday.

I had no way of testing, but they sure seemed responsive enough.

Sorry 'bout the trunion. I should have spotted that bad boy.

Allan

The hydraulics seem strong so far. We will find out on hay tomorrow.

Lifts the loader right up when empty at low idle.

Was pleasantly surprised when it operates every bit as fast as the 1066. Guess, come to think of it, they use the same silly pump tho. :>)

Allan

Be careful though I changes a metal hose out for a smaller diamater rubber hose on my 686 and the speed decreased with a ever so slight delay. Need to replace it with a bigger diamater hose of a greater pressure rating. Possibly return to pipe for most of the run from the diverter valve to the spools by the seat.

I don't think a guy can get away with anything less than 1/2" lines on these older tractors.

The newer rigs run at a heck of a lot higher pressure so they all seem to use the 3/8" stuff.

Allan

I may put one on this 1066 however.

Bad part is getting into low buildings where I want to store hay.

Gary

Maybe Dave will sell you that one off the little Massey that he just bought. The freight across the pond might be a stinker tho. :>)

Allan

To cold and wet to plant but been doing a little tillage work so when it warms I can just plant.

Thats why I switched the loader to the 1066 so I can use the 1086 on the sprayer.

I finished planting oats yesterday.

Everyone plants to few of oats to own there own drill so I custom drilled oats for 4 differant guys. But only totaled 100 acres all together.

Next week on the corn. Maybe???
