Well, my pa and I worked on the swather for the guy that I custom hired. He couldn't find parts anywhere. I love working on things with my dad, he's 75 this sept. Owatonna swather with a ford 6cyl gas, wouldnt keep running. Float was getting stuck when low, ended up sanding down both floats 1/8", Spacer between intake and crb was loose and gasket was shot, little rubber cup on what I call the accelerator pump was toast, no one had one, so I robbed one off my brothers F600 inline, it worked, insulated the gas line which runs up along the block and across the valve cover,, I wanted to prevent vaporizing, adjusted the governor back to where the old paint showed it should be, she fired right up and has been swathing rye since, I believe he has only 1/2 of my field left, then I am sending him on to my oats, I would rather let them dry in a windrow with the oats on the stalk, than swath in a week and have most of my oats fall to the ground. As soon as I can figure out the wifes camera I will post a few pics, this rye crop is awesome. I just hope the persons 4400 combine I hired will be able to digest these huge windrows, we already are only taking 10' swath rather than the full 12'.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
