Finally found a 1020 head. 16' so I can pull it into the shop while still on the combine when I am doing the repairs the seller declined to mention. We all know there will be repairs..LOL. This thing looks to be in decent shape, has new sections, wobble bearings appear tight. It was 4 hours from home in Indiana. Price was about $1400 less than the last three that sold at auction up this way. They opened a Portillos restaurant north of South Bend. The entire family volunteered to help when I casually mentioned I was going to lunch there. That put the PU out of the running so I had to take the Flex. Very nice vehicle to travel in and pulls 6K at the hitch so nice for a smaller load. Left the header trailer home and took the car hauler with lots of cribbing...another good choice. Had a nice visit with seller. Loaded it, tied it down and checked the tires. One stop to adjust the straps about 5 miles out and then, 10.5 hours after I left that AM, we were home.
I was amazed at how much field work appears to be done in SW Michigan and Indiana. We are under water here and not even thinking about it yet. It snowed on us while we were heading down. Also amazed at how many center pivots I saw in SW Michigan. Huge setups covering a lot of acreage but I even saw what must have been 2-3 acres with one section set up in it. Seems like a lot of $$$ and you would not think we needed that much irrigation here? Must be the soil is a lot sandier over that way or ???? Curious.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
