Love it. As far as I am concerned there is no better tractor for grinding feed than an old tricycle machine. I use my Farmall M. That's all it does so I never have to hook up the grinder. You never sheer pins because the pto can be feathered easy. I think bearings and things in the grinder last much longer because the smaller tractor "gives" with the load instead of forcing the grinder through it. I can get that grinder backed into any little spot with that zero turn tractor (mine has power steering). The only time it isn't quite enough tractor is when I throw in an alfalfa bale and the flakes are thick - it makes her bark pretty good. Of course, if I had double the horses on it I would jam it full and then be hard on the grinder so I guess it's a good thing.
I'd like to get a new grinder with scales but I have an alternator on the old M so I guess it would still work. I'm not sure what the live pumps on the old Farmall are rated but I'm doubting it could power a hydraulic unloading auger. That's ok - my grinder is in fine shape.
I can honestly say I haven't seen an Oliver in these parts since I was a little boy and that was only one tractor. I don't know of any dealer that sold them anywhere near us. Even now I can't say that I have ever seen one at the big tractor show held each fall in town. It's kind of odd. I do think the combines are neat looking old machines and would like to have one, but again, I've never seen one in person. Not many farmers can say that I bet.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
