Few more tractor additions and added 2 more

I cannot imagine the lives these machines led .Looks like they were worked hard . Thanks for posting the pics Richard .

I'm thinking that Richard is running a retirement home for old high crop tractors.
Hey Richard I ran across a D17 Diesel high crop last week PM or call me and I will let you know it's where a-bouts. 

Not really rode hard and put away wet by no means.

What lot of the people on the site do not know what rough tractor look like from the south.
What they have to deal with terrain of ground that has to be work up and the all the salt water gets on them by being that close to the Ocean.

All the front on these tractor are not busted up or had 10lb of welds on them.

yes the sheet metal is bent up on some of the tractor but I have seen tractor more rusty in Mo.

The 1066 runs good need to check few things on the shifting.

The 766 is Rare there must have not been many built,
To bad some removed the serial tag off the tractor.
usually the fronts will have all types of metal welded to them.




work on the 4020
Mounted another rear tire on makes easier to move around.




A couple more pictures of the front end,most of time they are broke up and welded in many locations.

And you told me that you did not go down there any more , fibber . Looks like a great haul Richard .

Sweet Richard, Thanks for sharing sir!!!

I have one high crop story, it was back in 1972 I was at the local John Deere dealer picking up some parts with Dad and heard a the owner of the dealership telling the truck driver to load that 4020 back up and get it out of here, that brand new 4020 high crop was being delivered to the wrong place this was just South and East of KC Mo. and we don't have high crop tractors around here. The dealer had ordered the wrong tractor and this was not what he thought was coming in. I told Dad we needed to get this one and Dad just said why and as we where leaving the dealer was calling John Deere to get it out of the lot, that high crop set there for weeks intell it moved South. Dad asked the dealer time and time again who ordered that tractor and laughed at him. The old dealer didn't laugh, it cost him a lot it get it transfigured South. lmao

I was wondering what kind of cast wheel center was used on the D17?

Will look tonight for the part # that is on the cast wheel.

Do not plan on painting any of these tractors to many other things to get done.
Plan to keep the 966 and Case 400 at this time.

not for sure about the rest yet.

Richard,
I bow down to high crop king!:) Great shots of the variety of high crops!
They do look better off the trailer and by themselves. You can start to see the condition, and most don't look any worse than the stuff I have drug home! Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Regards,
 Chris

We added some more tractor today from the south.

Richard looks like you have found a lifetimes worth of projects there. Sadly I wouldn't want to part with any of them if it was me. I'm the first batch of photos you have the IH 966. In the background there is something neet looking know steel wheels what is that and do you have any more photos.   Those old war time tractors amaze me.

Thanks for sharing.  Lots of us would never have had a chance to see some of this type of tractor if it wasn't for you sharing all the pix.

Those D's look really cool. I can't guess what it would have been like when they first rolled off the production lines and into the farms. I often think my grandfather lived in one of the coolest times in history. From horses running everything to modern tractors amazing.   Thanks for the photos.

I need a high crop 190 or 7000 series. If I have any money left over this fall maybe!
