What did you do with your Allis Today?

Hooked the '47 WC to the post pounder and knocked in some new posts to extend some fence.  Too hot to work out there the last couple of days so I'll run the wire next week when it cools down a little.

Golf was good. Only play once a year with brother and 2 cousins. Damn hot tho. I did a 134 conversion on that 7040 but for some reason have lost power to the compressor. Another fixit project!

That is awesome. Team approach!!

Rake it, roll it and move/stack it!! It only takes three. Hope the golf was awesome!!

tried to sell a couple more of them!

Ahh, mowing the back field is always a pleasure. It had been a while since I’d done a full pass, so it was satisfying to see the tall grass finally cut down. After that, I hooked up the trailer to haul some firewood from the woodshed to the house. The old tractor ran like a champ, as always

Put the "70" series 3X14 plow on Series IV D-17 and plowed garden. Might have a plow day coming up and wanted to know it was ready to go!

Had a flat front tire on the 1940 B.  Removed the front steer and had it patched.  Turns out I had a couple of sharp thorns stuck in it.  Good to have it all back together again. 

Hauled a WD/WD-45 hybrid home to put the Allis bale loader on.

Since we haven't had much rain in the last 2 months, not much going on our farm besides feeding our cattle. No 2nd cut hay making, my XT has sit idle since the beginning of June as most of the tractors. Hooked the 160 to our Woods brush mower and mowed thistles in our pasture fields along with my older brother Jim running the D15 II and NH sickle mower. Fun to be back on a tractor but sure wish we was making hay. 

Used the fr30 to move an old grain bin out of the way for a barn that we are moving from my old place to the calving corrals. Put the dividers on the front of the 8010 and started mowing the male bays out of the seed canola field.

Cut the old steering wheel off of my B, with the "wheel of death" and installed a new/used one picked up at a tractor show earlier this summer.  Then went for a test drive to be sure it wouldn't come off in my hands!  Success!

Changed the oil in the 6080. Have a new air filter to go in one of these days, loader has to come off to do that so I keep putting it off. It's not like this thing is out working in dusty conditions but I would like to get it done this year.

Got out our G tractor with a 1 row cultivator and cultivated one of my daughters sweetcorn patches, only 3 rows quarter mile long here and gonna do another patch 3 rows half mile long tomorrow morning before the heat sets in. I'm the hired hand for her FFA project as she is preparing for college. She is continuing her FFA record book on sweetcorn to apply for the American degree, she got her State degree when she was a junior. Since she won't be around for part of the picking she cut it back from 2 acres and pumpkins to just a bit over and acre and no more pumpkins.

WD45 on the New Idea 49M rake with snap coupler hitch.
I ran that rake when Dad had it in the 70s and 80s. Was converted to 3pt. I found the coupler hitch in the weeds last year and after getting some hard to find bearings from Mikez, it's up and running again
