Not real sure if you guys are bugging me about preventative maintenance or not. No real off season repairs for me, as the larger stuff won't fit in my shop, and I don't lie in the snow to fix things. Shop and I were both occupied with a truck rebuild for three weeks this spring. I also have other work/responsibilities in the winter.
Everything except the wagons was cleaned up, serviced and checked last fall. Tractors that run were gone through this spring, tractors that don't run are waiting for those that do to finance repairs. There was two solid weeks of work just cleaning up and re-lubing the hay equipment that went swimming. All wheel bearings, cleaned and repacked, gearboxes drained flushed and re-filled, cornstalks hay and God knows what all else pulled, washed, blown, and scraped from all the little nooks and crannies where it collected. I still expect some sealed bearings to give up at some point. Fortunately there was no physical damage, even to the wagons that floated away.
The 330 with the broken crank is waiting for money/parts. The 560 swimmer is waiting for time to work on it, have most of the parts. Second Super C is more of an organ donor.
I will admit to not being nineteen years old any more, and I am trying to cut back, (labor, land availability issues as well), but it is kind of catching up to me.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
