Welp tires ain't no fun at all... BIL found a deer antler with one of his, thankfully it was an older outer dual but yeah still big $$$ to replace it. Found an old blowtorch needle valve/handle from one of those old gasoline pot-type blowtorches like they used to use in the 30's and 40's in the field one time where an old house site used to be, that's been farmed over for decades now... luckily it was just in the floater tire on the disk and not a tractor tire, because it went straight through it... not terrible to fix and not a rear tractor tire which gets expensive. I was cutting hay one time and had the front tire catch on the edge of a stump and it ripped the outer rib and a chunk of rubber right off the cords of the tire. Thankfully it was the 7.50-16 steer tires the tractor came with, I was looking for an excuse to replace them with 10.00 or 11.00-16's anyway-- I like the wider four rib front tires since I put a set on the loader tractor... so those went in the barn and it got new to me 1100 16's... I'm currently running that old front on the hay rake bridge hitch, since it only has to carry a few hundred pounds of weight and it still holds air fine... just looks funny with that bare patch of cords rolling around every turn, and missing chunk of rubber... Always something! OL J R :)

To much talking, gets off point to much

Oh WOW that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard... yall must have a lot of construction or paving companies or big equipment places that don't care what they spend on fuel... a dealer like that around here would be broke and out of business in a month! NOBODY would put up with that around here... In the "old days" back in the 80's and early 90's, we got our diesel for the tractors, gas for the cotton pickers and combine, and flush oil for the cotton pickers, as well as most of our tires and batteries from Stavinoha's Tire over in Fairchilds, TX. Grandpa and the old man there had been doing business for 40 years at that point. Good old guy. Then he got older and let his worthless sons take over. Well, before you know it, they were bitching about bringing out fuel, and wouldn't deliver less than 200 gallons. I had a 200 gallon bulk tank, so we just squeaked under the minimum. Problem was, they didn't want to get off their @ss and deliver when you ran out... nah, it'll be a day or two til we're running out that way (about 10 miles away from their place). SO when I was running hard in the field, when I got down about 4 inches off the bottom of the tank, I'd call them and tell them bring me a load of fuel. Well, as it so happened one time when I did that, they were getting ready to make a run to a bigshot neighbor of mine who probably had 500-700 gallon tanks, so they could haul out a whole truckload at once, and they ended up coming that afternoon. I usually left about 4 inches in the tank because that'd give me one more fill-up on the tractor before the tank was dry. I was in the field and when I came in for lunch they were filling the tank, which was surprising they didn't keep me waiting a day or two after calling at 8-9 am. Well, he cussed me up one side and down the other because the tank was NOT dry and he couldn't squeeze the entire 200 gallons in there. SO I had a belly full of them and quit buying from them. Went over to the old "gasoline alley" part of Rosenberg 15 miles away where all the fuel/lube distributors were down by the railroad tracks, and talked to some people, compared prices, and signed up for an account with Mobil. They were always real friendly with good prices and would bring out my fuel that day or the next morning without fail when I called, and didn't worry if it wasn't quite 200 gallons but since they were RELIABLE and wouldn't leave me sitting with NO FUEL for a day or two waiting on them to get there, I could run the tank dry and then call them and be assured I'd have fuel within 24 hours. Complete antithesis of the previous bunch. We still got a lot of tires done there til they got a few years older and became "bigshots" and basically quit working other than answering the phone and delivering fuel, and hired some real turds to do their tires... This one @sshat they had working for them just b!tched and bellyached the whole time he was working on your stuff, making sh!tty comments about how old or obsolete your "junk" was that HE was having to work on... We'd been getting Farm Bureau blemished tires and batteries and then they went up on the membership you had to buy to get the discount stuff, and their discount stuff and blemished stuff was *almost* as expensive as the "good" stuff you'd buy anywhere else, and their batteries were terrible and didn't last a year or two and the tires weren't much better, so we finally quit dealing with them AT ALL and started getting everything elsewhere. Not worth the trouble supporting them anymore. I had a buddy, Stoney, who worked for one of the richest oilmen in the country, a wildcatter who had the leases and drilled the gas wells on the farm, and Stoney did all the field work for him, checking on the wells and coming out on the old case tractor and 6 foot bush hog and shredding around the well sites and stuff a couple times a year, and dragging a blade and spreading gravel on the oilfield roads out through the farm to the well sites so they could get their HD trucks and equipment in and out when they needed to... h3ll of a nice guy never heard a cross word from him. We were talking one day and the subject of Stavinoha's came up and he got a sour look on his face and said, "yeah we don't deal with them no more!" and told me how they were jerking them around on bulk fuel deliveries keeping them waiting for long periods and stuff, and one day he needed a new back tire on the tractor for the oilman and drove the tractor over there and told them to put one on it... whole time he was sitting there, "Skeeter" their hired man was bellyaching about what a "total POS" the old Case tractor was and "why didn't they buy a new one!" and finally Stoney had enough and told him, "that tractor belongs to Mr. (the oilman)... If you have a problem with it why don't you call HIM up and tell him what a POS his tractor is!" (Course everybody knew this oilman had more money than the rest of the county put together but he lived cheap, probably had his first dollar under the mattress, and he didn't waste money on crap like new tractors just to have a new tractor so long as the old one worked-- he kept his stuff up and in workable shape, even if it was old it did the job which was all that was important to him, like ANY good businessman!) That shut ol' Skeeter up for a bit, but when Stoney told the boss what all he had been saying, the boss told him, "And the boys (Stavinoha boys that ran the place) just sat there and didn't say anything? Well, SCREW THEM, don't take them any more business; call around and get the fuel from somewhere else!" Now they just skin the hobby farmers and city slickers that move out from Houston and are too stupid to know better-- they jacked their prices up and NONE of the local farmers do business with them anymore... all they do anymore is tires I think mostly for hobby farmer pickups and SUV's... what a joke! Sadly the Mobil dealer sold out after about 10 years, and nobody was left but the big Exxon dealer, so I had to switch my account to them. Still good guys though, price not quite as good but the service is still good, so we deal with them. Course I only buy maybe one tank a year anymore since we're not row crop farming any more-- hay and shredding doesn't take that much fuel when you're running cows. The gasoline cotton pickers all got junked and replaced with diesel pickers, and the only gas powered machine left on the farm was the combine. When we quit farming cotton and went all grain, I got a 55 gallon drum from a guy in town that sells them and put a $15 universal electric fuel pump on it and ran wires and clips to the pickup battery and used that to fill the combine... sure beat that old hand pump I had to use as a kid! I'd get a 55 gallon drum of gasoline at Walmart and then pull up by the combine and stick the hose in the tank and hook up the wires... the little dinky electric pump, meant to replace the old mechanical fuel pumps on a vehicle, didn't pump fast but I could give it 30 minutes and the combine tank would be full-- time enough to eat breakfast and maybe grease the combine for the day... worked good. When I moved to the Shiner farm, I had been just hauling up farm diesel in five gallon cans from Needville as I needed it, but living here now that's not convenient, so I looked around and found a distributor and got an account with them. They have "fuel islands" as well as delivery-- I can take 4-5 gas cans over there in the bed of the truck, put my card in the machine, and fill the cans up right there at the island. It bills me automatically based on the card at the end of the month. Lot of guys come in with tanks in the back of the pickup and some oilfield and paving companies, construction outfits, etc have pickups pulling in towing fuel trailers and they fill up with 400-500 gallons at a time to fuel all their equipment... they also do delivery but have a 200 or 250 gallon minimum, and I wouldn't use that much at Shiner in 2 years... I'm thinking of either getting another 55 gallon drum and doing the old pump trick, or maybe one of those mini-bulk tanks in the cage, and rigging me up a stand to set it on so I can gravity flow it into the tractor like our old leg tanks at Needville... that way if I set it up with a platform I could lift the tank down and set it in the truck, haul it over there, fill up, then use the loader to set it back up on the platform and fill out of there til it's empty again. Could do that with a 55 gallon drum too I guess. I COULD get a new leg tank and have them come fill it but I don't really need that much fuel at one time... still mulling it over... course it wouldn't be all bad having plenty extra diesel onhand, particularly if I got a diesel electric backup generator for the farm, or one of the PTO generators that'd run off a tractor or something...

What weather website was that at the end with the radar loop?? I liked the layout of that page! That's EXACTLY the reason I won't buy new stuff... too complicated and too darn much to go wrong! I'm driving a 2002 F-150 with 360,000+ miles on it and I have less problems than my sister's husband has with his brand new F-150... my repair bills are usually less than HALF what his are as well, and his is in the shop at least twice as much as mine is. No monthly payment for the new junk, either. I'll keep my old stuff. Same goes with tractors and equipment, mostly. Particularly if it's got these friggin' computers on it. My brother works for the county drainage district, ran a slope mower for most of a decade, open station Deere tractor was what it was mounted on. They finally decided to upgrade and he was excited because he was gonna get a cab Deere tractor with A/C, which is NICE when it's pushing 100 degrees here for six months out of the year... plus less chance of bees getting you if you're shredding up under a bridge or something and there's a beehive under there. Anyway, his delight soon turned to sorrow, because the stupid new tractor had SIX computers on it and was in the shop more than it was in the field! He ended up running his same old open station slope mower more often than he did the new one. A year or two later he finally got into the warehouse, all those years working on steep inclines was messing with his back anyway... People talk about new stuff and I just laugh... new stuff is poorly designed, engineered, constructed, and hard and expensive to repair, and simply too unreliable. And, it's WAY WAY too expensive!

Pop's a hoot... here's one for ya... "don't beat your wife before you go to bed-- you might wake up with her sharpening a butcher knife while standing at the foot of the bed..." WHich is exactly what happened to this old fart we knew one time who ran the bank in town... he was married to a Mexican woman and figured since he was white he could kick her around as he saw fit, I guess... well, he walloped her one night and went to bed, and woke up with her sharpening a butcher knife at the end of the bed... He didn't beat her any more after that... for some reason... Story got around town it was and old story before my time but grandma remembered it and told it to me more than once... LOL:) The guy really was an old coot and total PITA, to us included on occasion...

BTDT got the T-shirt... LOL:) I get almost all of my parts from Oreilley's... they're good about the lifetime warranty. Heck they even sell the "lifetime warranty" brake pads which as long as the old ones aren't worn down to steel they'll give you a new set of pads free! I've even had some worn to steel that they replaced, and some places don't even ask to see the old ones... they just look it up under my name, see "lifetime pads" on that vehicle, and had me a new set, easy peasy! That I don't understand... pads are a WEAR item, they're MADE to wear out, so how do they make money selling ONE pair and giving you new ones forever, I dunno. Guess they'll figure it out eventually, or maybe already have... plenty of lug nuts out there buy a new car every couple three years, maybe do one brake job on it and trade it off, so they buy lifetime pads and never get a second set given to them. That's okay I'll take their second set, and third, and fourth LOL:) Doing hauling with the farm pickup with trailers without brakes, I wear out brake pads, and all the miles on the vans add up and they need new brakes too every couple years... I'll take it! One thing I HAVE learned is that sometimes you are just better off buying new. Take for instance the alternator on the 2005 Grand Caravan... First one went out after 10 years of the factory one I bought a reman, yeah lasted a year or two and get to do it again. Bough the lifetime warranty one and yeah lasted about 3 years or so then voila get to do it again. Usually ends up deciding to crap the bed while I'm at the BIL's in Indiana for whatever reason. Took it in they were gonna replace it free, I asked "how much extra for a new one?" I paid the extra $30 bucks and got the new one... See how it does, so far so good Problem with reman stuff nowadays is, they get these cores in and they send them to the cheapest reman places in the world, usually in Mexico with $1/hour wages... They'll check parts with cheap go/no go gauges and a part can be 95% worn out but still (barely) passes the go/no go, they put it right back in! Say you have a slip ring that is supposed to be no less than 1.040 and is 1.080 new... I can be an inch and 1.042 and they'll reuse it, even though it's only got 0.002 thousandths of an inch life left on it... of course it's worn out in the first six months its back in service and from then on, you're on borrowed time... just a matter of what quits first. Same thing with winding and rectifier bridges and stuff... if it passes the electrical test, back in it goes... even though it's probably on borrowed time as it is... It's not the worst job in the universe changing that alternator, but it's no fun either, couple of "gotcha" bolts that you end up turning 2 inches of bolt in one flat at a time flipping the box wrench every time in order to have clearance to put the thing back in... TOTAL PITA... SO I figured spring for the NEW alternator, maybe I won't have to change it for an extra year or two, maybe more, if I'm lucky... worth it to me...

Nice... what make are those harrows?? I have some Deere's I bought years ago pull them behind the disk somewhat like those, but welded in teeth (made to throw away I guess, and C-channels instead of pipe. Grandpa's old harrows were pipe with the bolt in teeth like that, but they had a C-channel on either side with holes punched through that the pipes were installed through before the teeth were put on, and it had washers and a couple big cotter pins to keep them centered on the channels, and a single adjuster going down the center. Somewhere along the line he had someone build a 3 point carrier for them, and suspended them from it with chains, so it worked good on the 3 point hitch behind the tractor. Unfortunately the pipe harrows eventually started breaking apart and welding only prolonged the inevitable-- had to scrap the harrows themselves but the carrier I kept. Might modify a boat trailer with a cylinder or some arms so I could pull it behind the disk and not have to wrestle those harrows up onto the back of the disk to go down the road every time...

Man you got me there... that's a juniper bush or tree not a true cedar, but we call them cedars here in TX as well, though more correctly they're a juniper, those little tiny BB size seeds are "juniper berries"... Grandma had several junipers planted in her yard they'll make a sizeable tree in time... they grow wild in the Hill Country west of San Antonio, there's thousands of square miles of rangeland covered with them. They cut them for fence posts and they make darn good ones, the natural junipers that aren't fertilized and grown for fence posts-- the fertilized ones grow fast but have little/no heartwood, so they rot a lot faster. Good naturally grown wild juniper fence posts will last for fifty, sixty years easy even in pretty wet climates and soils. That said, I have never in my life seen those orange things on any junipers down here in Texas... that's a totally new one on me and I'm totally stumped! Maybe some kind of parasitic plant?? Kinda like mistletoe infesting hackberry trees down here, which will eventually kill them given enough time, at least at Shiner anyway. Or poison sumac growing into the bark of various trees and climbing them... I dunno. Never seen that orange ball thing before in my life... very strange!

I like old tractors

Man $20 for those harrows, that's a steal... looked at a set like those up at the auction near us they wanted $400 for the pair which was nuts. I bought some like that for $100 about 20 years ago or so pull them directly behind the disk, works great.

Boy hope your doing ok I think this is the longest I've seen with no videos I'd love to see an update on the shelving and maybe the old ford

Dad bought a 2000 Escort for a work car not long before he became disabled and couldn't work anymore... He'd had an Escort back in the early 80's which was a pretty good car, he drove 52 miles each way to the nuke plant 6-7 days a week so he wore cars smooth out... He bought a 96 Windstar and had it til the motor blew-- they put a Taurus motor/transmission in those and they couldn't handle the strain. They wouldn't fix it and wanted too much to fix it so he parked it and told them to come get it and quit paying on it... they finally sent a tow truck to repo it six months or so later LOL:) Now, Grandma had bought a used 93 Escort wagon from our used dealer... it was nearly new, woman's husband had just gotten it for her and then she got a divorce and traded it on a new Mustang to go man huntin' for Victim #2 LOL:) I kinda hated that car, and I kicked the sh!t out of it around the farm, but the d@mn thing held up great... kind of a shame now I wish I had it back! Anyway, Dad figured the 2000 Escort would be just as good a car... boy was he wrong! For one thing they had moved production of the Escort to Mexico by that point. Ford cheaping out... another thing is they had "reengineered" it and basically cheaped out on the whole friggin' thing. Dad drove it awhile and it was fine, then parked it when he went on disability, as he was having trouble getting around by then and had gotten mom a used 96 T-bird and that was their main runaround car. Then he got worse and the T-bird melted its plastic intake and he traded it off on a Honda minivan that was easier to get in and out of. He loved the T-bird but it was too low to get in and out of when the post-polio was slowly robbing his mobility. SO the Escort sat a lot. Somewhere in there he'd bought a 91 Escort sport with the inline four and five speed manual, that was a sporty car, my brother ended up getting it and driving it to his job at the tractor salvage...he loved that car and ran the wheels off it until he finally had to trade it off since it was becoming a money pit. So the automatic 2000 Escort coupe basically sat in the carport. Dad or my brother would start it up and drive it around the farm or down the country roads every month to keep it up, but that was about it. SO after a few years he started letting my wife drive it to work, because it was setting too much and going to go to pot. The car only had about 20,000 miles or so on it but was about six years old... but then she was working in SW Houston at Foley's and so she needed a reliable car... Well, the thing always had some problem or other. The headlights would quit, thankfully just one at a time, but when you'd go to fix them turned out the plugs would be MELTED. I wired in new plugs, they melted too, then high temperature plugs, and they melted too... so every six months you had to wire in new plugs for the headlights because the d@mn things were just carbonized... the stupid car was wired not with regular 12-16 gauge electrical wiring typical for most vehicle wiring harnesses... this thing was wired with dinky "bell wire" like 20-22 gauge or smaller... I mean like telephone wire it was SO small... ridiculous! Cheap out on wire... AND of course it would have wiring problems now and again. The wife started complaining it smelled and turns out it was dripping condensation from the AC into the passenger floorboard-- so bad to the point it was literally sloshing water at one point. Come to find out the drain hose from the AC evaporator housing came out behind the filter dryer freon can on the other side of the firewall... right where you couldn't hardly get to it. Some little bug had built a plug of crap in it after laying an egg in there or something and I had to curl a piece of stiff wire into a corkscrew to get up behind the filter dryer can and into the hose to dig it out and when I did it drained about five gallons of ice water onto me... Then of course a month or two later the AC quit entirely. Troubleshooted it and found out that the AC module was probably bad. Of course they have to install a $750 module somewhere under the battery with a $1.35 transistor to do the job that direct wiring from the low pressure switch to the compressor clutch did in the old days... I looked up a video where a guy pulled the module and ground the rivets off with a grinder to get in there, and showed which transistor to cut off the board and what number transistor to buy at Radio Shack and how to solder it in and get the module working again, not for the $750 Ford wants for that module, but for literally $1.35 for the transistor from Radio Shack. I looked over the system and the reason for the module is, instead of using a high pressure relief valve to blow off some freon if it ever overpressurizes the system, they use a high pressure switch that sends a "cutoff signal" to the transistor to shut off the AC compressor instead... gotta save the planet from a puff of R-134A freon blowing out of the relief valve if it overheats, which I've never seen one do ANYWAY... SO I decided to just wire it direct like my old '77 Suburban AC system was-- I ran a couple regular auto wiring jumper wires from the AC low pressure cycling switch on the filter/dryer can right over the existing harness to the AC compressor clutch and wired it in there... Voila, instant AC and worked as good as always. I teed in to the existing wiring so if it DID get too much pressure, IF the stupid transistor would work as a cutout it still could. It just wouldn't turn the compressor ON... that was fed direct from the low pressure switch. If it wasn't one problem with that car it was another. Worked on it all the time. Got so frustrated with it one day I smashed my fist against the curved part of the roof directly over the door-- after all that's supposed to be one of the strongest parts of the car since it has to hold the roof up in a rollover... it dented in like tinfoil... TOTAL POS. Well, not long after my cousin had her car wrecked at college by her roommate that borrowed it and her Dad wasn't going to get her another vehicle. Mom worried about her being so far from home with no car, and asked if we thought she could drive the Escort instead. I was like "GREAT idea!" It was working fine at the moment and I was glad to have it out of my hair... we loaned it to her and I don't know what arrangement my mom eventually made with my uncle or cousin for it, don't really care. That was the last year they built Escorts, and I could see why... .they were total POS's by that point, just cheap junk made to sell. The small car market was flagging anyway as everyone was moving to SUV's by then so that was Ford's solution-- transfer the factory to Mexico and build them out of cheap junk as cheap as possible and sell them cheap to people looking for a cheap car who can't afford better or need a cheap disposable car... and when they end up in the crusher in a few years oh well... No wonder they didn't sell and Ford finally sh!tcanned the entire line...

I wish I had my 91 F-150 300 six and five speed manual back... traded it on the 02 Supercrew F-150 when my wife and I found out we were gonna have a little one, no room for carseat in a single cab and still fit two adults... It was a good truck, did a lot of farm towing with it, loved the 5 speed BUT that was the Achille's heel... stupid aluminum case manual transmission with ATF in it instead of 90 weight... Mazda transmission made for a 1/4 ton Mazda pickup. The transmission locked up one day and had to tow it home, spent most of a year looking for a transmission for it. Finally got one scrap yard guy told me the story. 95% of the trucks they had coming in to be parted out with that transmission, the tranny was junk or on the way out. Mazda drilled three line bore holes through the top of the transmission case for the shift fork rods to go in from the rear. These holes were then capped off with stupid little plastic/rubber plugs. Well, they happen to be right over the 2nd gear... so CONSTANTLY bathed with oil slung off second gear washing down the case walls. Well, after a few years, those stupid plugs would do like all rubber/plastic crap does... it shrinks particularly in the presence of hot oil. So they loosen up in the case and create a tiny gap that allows oil to start wicking out... particularly that 5 weight ATF that they put in those transmissions instead of the good heavy gear oil every other manual transmission has ever used before then... So while the transmission was turning, it was constantly slinging oil up there and some if it was sucked right through that gap around those plugs by capillary action. Over time, it'd suck the transmission flat smooth dry. Because it was 5W oil, it would run right down the case and drip off and blow away while you were driving, and by the time you parked, most of it had dripped off and so it wasn't like the old heavy gear oil that would take 10 minutes or more to run down the side of the casing and drip off, leaving a huge puddle on the driveway over time... no, this stuff ran so quick by the time you parked it'd go "drip, drip" and stop and you'd never see that it was leaking oil out, and the first hint you usually had was when the transmission went to whining and burned up. I SHOULD have just gotten a racing transmission out of the JEGS catalog or something and kept running that truck. Those old 300 sixes were bulletproof (relatively speaking) and they FINALLY put a good induction and injection system on them not long before they quit making them and they produced a lot of power and torque for their size and were relatively easy on fuel... Darn shame they don't make the 300 six anymore... They should have made it bigger to about 360 or 400 cubic inches and put them in their heavy duty pickups... FAR superior to the stupid V-8's for towing and heavy work. Should have put an inline six diesel in the Fords as well IMHO... The 02 has the 4.6 V-8 and I guess I can't complain too much, it's got 365,000 miles on it and I haven't had to rebuild it yet, though she is getting tired, I can tell. Done a LOT of farm hauling with that thing over the years. Far superior to these new pickups... they're overpriced crap. Sister's husband has one of those ecoboost monstrosities and it's a piece of junk-- in the shop more than my 22 year old truck with a third of a million miles on it! Way more expensive to fix, too...

Where did you the the screw?

Hey bandit do you still have that injection pump off the long

New vids ? Hope your doing well..

I just bought one, what HP tractor are you using to run it? I just bought a old farm, so getting my hands on some old equipment to ge tthings going. But I have a newer Kioti 35HP utility, I can turn the fuel up on it some as its a detuned from the next platform up.

I never got one because I have a lot of trees but a canvas canopy might be easier to put on that cab.

You were an hour from my house when you were in Pittsburgh!

Excellent explanation of the narrow front. As a kid in the early 60s I rode the fender of a Massey narrow front. I had no idea of the roll over possibilities. Thank God my friend driving wasn't a hot rodder.

Hello! Hopefully you will see this, Just bought my first combine bout 40 min away from me, it’s a JD 95, decided to drive it back home, half way the engine broke. Something from within broke in the engine and knocked out couple holes. Can I buy off market new engine of the same displacement and just swap the engines with out changing anything else, or what is my best to do in this situation?

i’m doing the exact same thing. I bought a 97 f350 7.3 dump truck to use on my home build. Finding the parts has been the extreme nightmare for me. I actually welded and machined the radius arms myself. had to, after I removed the old bushing there was hardly any metal left, but you couldn’t buy a set. I don’t know why 97 is a bastard year. When you look at the restoration websites and you click on a year range for your vehicle like on LMC. All the sites have OBS ending in 96 and super duty starting in 98. If you’re doing the same thing I’m doing, and you’re trying to just make a reliable truck and just go through everything once, there is a video that two brothers do on here about 7.3 power strokes that is a must watch. they cover every inch of that engine and what you should do to a 7.3 to make it as reliable as it was built. I’ll see if I can post a link here in the comments. ruclips.net/video/XYRWEvkR7sk/видео.htmlsi=tQxqYKcPluhdrcKy

Good luck finding a set of radius arm brackets for a 1 ton 2 Wheel Dr. truck. every part supplier that carries this bracket claims the bracket they have will fit a 1 ton truck and yes, it will both on if you re-drill the frame. That’s how you know it is the wrong bracket. if the boat holes are 1.5 inch instead of 2 inch it’s an 8400 GVW bracket for an F150

Oven tempature??? 16:30 16:33

The 1850 is looking good sportin her new wide front axle. Sounding good too. Gald to see you are able to get some field work done.

I've got a camera I'd let you have, it's an Akaso (off-brand GoPro), I've got a magnetic mount for it and a 256 GB SD card. Might be better for your action shots.

Great job getting discing done

The tractor is in her work clothes

👍🏻

Great vid keep 'em coming.

Nice ending Bandit, that was cool

Enjoyed your video have a great day Bandit

To much disk for that tractor. Lots of wheel slipping but do love hearing her pull

You know what I'd like to see you do bandit? Get a set of umverferth hubs and duals for that 1850 . And than take that cab off . I think you'd really grow to love the duals

Looks like you're keeping plenty busy.

Cool story about the disk. Maybe at some point you could pick up one of the White disk chisels to break up compacted ground. Keep up the great work.

Bandit farmer, cool video it was really good

Taken Friday May 24th 2024. I started my day by firing up the 1550 diesel up for the first time this year and she was a bit grumpy to say the least but I had to to get the White 263 disk out to use on the Oliver 1850. I had disked the field the first time with the IH 370 12 foot disk and harrow and needed the White disk to go over it the second time and some the 3rd time ! This ground is hard but it has plenty of moisture in it but its just really hard to disk. At 6pm I had to call it a day as I had someplace to be at 7pm. This was the last day for my camera as it died that day, Fatal lens error from getting dusty and dirty. But 2 Nikon cool pix cameras is what I have used sense I started the channel in 2015 so I cant complain about them, Countless photos and well over 3000 videos were made with them so they held up great for all the abuse they took. I hope you enjoyed watching and say a little prayer for 2 cameras lost. Bandit

glad to see that you're back in the youtube saddle. Been wondering about ya

Get her done glad to see videos again thanks

The rain sure has made it challenging this year so far. But, as you showed, it can also be your friend. Especially with the type of soil you have out there. Really strange how it works.

Where do you farm

We do it right because we do it twice! 🤣🤣🤣

Enjoyed your video Bandit thankyou. Have a great day.

Area Diesel Service. Main office is located in Illinois, but they have shop in Indianapolis also. I know a few youtubers that use them. Pumps, turbos, overhaul kits.

Nice video

Thank you again

Funny how plans change first thing in the morning when you hear thunder and hear rain on the tin roof ! Well so much for running harrow gadder this morning or so I thought ! Got more rain at home than at the farm so after watching the morning news I headed to the farm and the ground sucked up all the rain and made it more workable so I had to go back to the woods after a tire off dads bent up disk frame and got it changed and coming off both of them they fought all the way off ! I hooked the 1850 to the harrow gadder and started working it and after several times over it I called it a day and put the 1850 back in the barn as they are calling for more rain tonight so maybe I will work on the 1850 some tomorrow if it rains a bunch. We got more rain over night but not enough to keep me out of the field. I fueled up greased the disk and hooked it up and started disking the back field and did the field twice to get it broke up and to let all the green stuff die and dry up some and headed to the front field by the road to disk it up ware we took all the trees out. I disked it 2 and 3 time to get it broke up but man was it ever hard. I was supposed to get the ground sprayed for burn down today but now it been pushed back another day or 2 so if this keeps it up I might be disking it all anyway, We'll see what happens weather wise. Its been a week of long hard days so far and I think there is more to come but I'm just play it by the seat of my pants and going day by day. I hope you enjoyed watching and sorry for no video of field work but its been windy and the camera blew over 4 times and I lost what ever was taken. Bandit

Glad you got the 1850 back together. I was probably wise to take that steering apart again and put in that seal, while the tractor was still torn apart that much. Tractor looks good with the wide front. Got to see you out there getting some tillage done.

Keep on plugin, Were with ya. Great vid, keep'em coming.
