A neighbor had a 185,, I took my snow blower up for him to use,, you could not shift the trans from fwd to rev effectually/fast, was a very award setup,,, I put decades of time in running this sno-go blower unit int he winters,, it had the largest AC 6 cylinder at the time,, turbo and intercooled, it is a engine that if you dropped off 100-125 rpm from full speed it fell flat on its face,, and with a blower to work right it should it needs to hold its own. the engine ran fine, we actually had two of these blowers,, I also drove semi,, we had detroit,, a far bigger guttless engine if you dropped rpms,, Cummins,, great power but I never cared for the throttle response/control to maintain a rpm, but I agree good engines,, my Fav then was CAT for semi power,, we had thirty four 06 with after coolers 450-525 hp depending if it was in my end dump I used to plow snow with int eh winters or a belly dump,, I can see why someone would go with a repower and use a Cummins,, I am on my second CDC powered Dodge pickup, would have kept the 92 i had but with all the hauling I wanted a 5 speed so I bought a 97,, love them but of course they are only 50% Cummins and 50% Case and they have the throttle control I demand. the AC engines gave little problems around here,, I just could not believe in the 70's anyone would have built a tractor that size and not include 100% live/independent PTO, I have a handful of customers I worked on AC's for,, transmission issues seemed to show up from the D-10 the through the 185 models i worked on,, the 4x4 they offered in the 70's,, at least here had nothing but transmission problems,, I knew of two of three bought new that spent more time at the dealership getting them repaired the first year tan in the fields, both of those farms leased new 2470's from us when theirs went down,, both of those were bought back by AC, they then bough new 2470's to replace them,, the 2whl drive units of the same time frame seemed to be good enough units, I do not remember doing any major repairs on them other than basic wear items,
That is me in the seat,, I was just getting things blew out after spending 10 straight days in the cab running 16 hour days after a three day blizzard,, which I had ran through from start to finish running my Kenworth plowing/sanding/plowing roads and leading ambulances in to snowed in houses where most of the calls were women in labor,, there was at least one heart attack that time from a man trying to shovel out,,, I also did the south run as we called it, it was 85 miles to the turn around, my partner that ran with me kept the roads open for the four Coal mines who ran 24-7,, those were busy days,, good times but glad I am not still there, 20 years of it was enough, I had to ride the brakes most of the time and just Creep along when blowing,, for the money they paid for these blowers they should have have blown two-three times the snow they would,, we got by with them, I tried to get the boss to buy a FAIR blower even got a demo from them they would not even consider the even though it was four times if not more the machine,, it was also three times or more the cost to purchase,, we just did not put enough hours on using them to justify it,,

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. 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
