I have 24 antique tractors myself, most were made before I was born. They all have their limitations, but if they don't perform they way expected I fix them. I have also spent untold hours working on an 800. Dad would put his in the shop in the winter and 3 of us would spend almost a month getting it ready to plant. Openers and frogs and rebuilding the depth setting holes, oiling chains and checking every seal and alignments,brushes, sensors,wire harnesses, even replacing the release wheels a time or 2. Basically went through it and fixed or repaired anything that needed it. When it got to the point it was too much to fix, or couldn't be fixed, it got traded off. We still spend a few weeks working on the Kinze getting it in top shape every winter. Unless farming is a hobby, the planter is too important to take to the field unless everything is in top shape. You may not like what I say but its just my opinion and its free. You started out saying yourself you were going to scrap it. You may just need a different planter.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
