In Reply to: new idea uni system? posted by swindave on December 24, 2020 at 04:33:03:
In my area the Uni was popular with dairy farmers like my dad, as it was handy for several jobs. The MF dealer I worked for sold several, and I helped drive new ones from Coldwater Ohio to Claypool Indiana in the 70s. Boss "said" it helps break them in, but I "think" he didn't feel comfortable hauling them on his trailer. Dad's first was a 701 he used with both a combine and a chopper with both hay and corn heads. It was lost in a barn fire, and replaced with a 702. My MF boss wanted dad to buy a MF 410 combine, dad said no, the Uni was much better for his farm use. Dad's last one was a 708 that my brother still has. Far as switching tools, dad had three boys to help so that didn't take long to remove the chopper and put on the combine or cage sheller. I attended some service schools at Coldwater, the rarest Uni was the Ford Turbo four cylinder if I recall. GM 6-292, V6-401 gas, V6-478 diesel, Perkins AT6-354diesel, AC 3500 426 diesel, Cummins 5.9 turbodiesel were more common. The first New Idea Uni right after the MM line had a flathead Continental F244 six, had one come in to the dealer for service once years ago. There was a toolbar available too, only one I ever saw was a neighbor had an eight row planter setup on his 702. Not sure where my brother found the three auger snow blower, thing is HUGE, at nine foot wide it opens roads fast. Don't think he's had it out last couple of years though.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
