Tires are the same on both tractors, 16.9x28 Firestone Field and Road. NFE may have a bit more wear but are on 13" rims. WFE are on 15" rims, should be a tad shorter. A quick search shows optical tachs are not to high. I may just purchase one and check WOT RPM's on both tractors, and others.

Put stack weights back on the WFE 45 in preparation for Hutch. Did GPS top speed runs with both 45's, and the 856 too. The WFE is about 1 MPH faster than the NFE. Must be a slight difference in the governor spring.

One D-17 and 2 WD 45's got a trip to the power washer yesterday. Clean tractors are so much more enjoyable to work on!

Attempting to renovate grass hay land by reseeding small areas barren because of spraying to kill noxious weeds.  Using D-15 II  to cut slots in soil. It utilizes a weighted
7  foot disc with straight (non fluted) blades. I do not have a no till drill!.  I will scatter seed by hand from sitting on the tail gate of a 2 +2 which will be pulling 8 foot roller.

Did the ol’ farm fix on the 4660 today. Yesterday bush hogging I blew a power steering line that had been bent at the banjo, so it was well due to go. Replaced the line and was hoping to replace it with a regular o ring boss to JIC because my local parts store didn’t have banjos for the hydraulic lines….Wrong. The banjo bolt is slightly smaller than the fitting. Originally I thought it was metric because the fitting only went in about a half turn before it stopped, but the threads line right up. I ended up running a brass pipe nipple into the steering cylinder, with lots of ptfe tape, and ran the jic right to that.

So, now when it fails (not if) the threads of the cylinder won’t be damaged. Lesson learned? 4660 power steering hoses are unobtainium

The 170 got duty on the driveway with box blade
Put a fully charged battery in the WD45. Discovered a wire from the alternator to the regulator had fallen off. I need to install a GM regulator plug on it. Maybe then it will keep the battery charged. Once up and running it raked some hay with snap coupler rake
190XT hooked to that 3pt spring tooth harrow. It's a 16 footer BTW. Like the one shown in another thread. Had to turn up the sweet corn patch. Two plantings died due to drift or over reach by the chemical applicator. It's conventional but never had that happen before. Will plant again tomorrow
7040 made some round bales later in the afternoon

WD did a good job as a log skidder.

Old elm two foot across at the stump.

Marched right up the hill to where I'm splitting them into beams. Expecting that to be a big job with all the cross linking elm does.

WD started right up after sitting since last fall (battery needed a little topping off).

Got another neighbor's WD in the shop looking for more horse power!  He pulled with it last weekend and came in dead last.  Looks like probably going to get an engine rebuild.  I've done 4 WD's over the last winter for neighbors in the area. Farmers are wanting them running again, mostly to put them back to work.

 Seems every farm in this area has a WD or WD45 sitting in the back row, many were new to the farms.  Pattersons was a very strong Allis Chalmers dealer here for years.

Took and got the head on my '45 C all back together. It had stuck from sitting with the PO and apparently at one point water was getting into the crank case. Since I got the tractor without a head gasket, I can't verify the cause of the problem without putting everything back together... Might fire off today if I can rig some temporary wiring up.

Right brake done on the D17. Previous owner obliviously started and quit. End of pins chewed up, different bolts on the covers. Welded bar stock to the pin and pulled it. Have taken out at least a 5 gallon bucket of old carpet/mouse nest between bell housing and brake accesses. I think it was Aladdin's; unfortunately neither Jasmin nor the genie have materialized...

Finished baling first with the 190XT series III pulling a CaseIH 551SB. Temps were high 90s yesterday, topped 100 today. I have the Egging cab, days like today make me think I should see if I can find a replacement fan - it has the housing but no fan or adapter plate

Got mower, rake and rotobaler greased and ready to go. Maybe we get a window this week. I guess 30% of the ground around herr hasn't even had primary tillage yet. Rain is crazy this year. Almost no corn has been planted and the corn that has is yellow with crap stands

Put the last batch of sweet corn with the 170. Then pulled some scrubby trees out from the base of the windmill with the 190XT.

Nice work getting out there between the rain! Mowing the trail sounds like a great way to make use of the Allis and give the grandkids some room to roam. That carryall setup with the box on a pallet is a smart idea versatile and practical for all kinds of jobs around the property. Thanks for sharing the video too!

Put the box blade on the 170 to work over the driveway.
Then....

Grabbed the Woods to try getting a handle on this thistle patch. Hopefully I got to it before the seed pod developed

Took the 1940 B to our nearby antique machinery club show this past weekend.  I power washed it and had it all spiffed up.  Best part was I was able to drive two of my grand daughters around the grounds.  Big smiles all around!

Yesterday we used the FR30 to clean up the grain bag that split open. Scooped up about 12000 bushels of spilled corn. Majority was dumped directly into the super-b trailers using the loader. The first stuff went fast only taking about 15 minutes to load 45 metric tonnes but the cleanup took a lot longer. We first used the old skidsteer to dump into the loader bucket and then dumped that into the trailer. Cleaned the last bit up using the grain vac. First (and last) time using grain bags.

The teff is a new thing for us, the plan is to make hay with it. My brother runs the farm, I help when I can. We produce small bale(16x18) grass hay and alfalfa, he has a yard he rents on the other side of the state where he does direct sales every Saturday. Right now teff seems to have a lot more demand than supply, so we picked up some small fields that weren't being farmed and we are going to try something new.

Neighbor gave me a Massey Ferguson dirt scoop. Fitted it to the 175 and played with it improving the lane. Ended my quest for a D series when I found a '57 Series 1 D17 last week. It's in pretty nice shape, good oil pressure, power steering, front end good, tin is good, has not had a loader on it, runs like a top. First tractor I've had that has snap couple and working traction booster with gauge. That "500 lb" snap coupler to 3 point adapter came with it. Needs tires and wheel but have that covered. I'm now the third owner; Story is the first guy bought it new, used it for a small farm, he died, the son sold it to the second guy.
He bought it to plow driveway, got it home and found he had more tractor than distance. He put new plugs, manifold gaskets, fan belt in it. I'm going to hook it to a couple windfall aspen this morning and see how it behaves under a little load.

I removed the PTO stub shaft seal retainer, stub shaft and bearings today to fix a leak on my WD45. It may require a sleeve to fix it proper, shaft is pretty rusty. 2 new seals coming to my mailbix, hope to have this fixed and the 4 basket tedder pinned to it by Friday to test the hydraulics and see if she will fold and unfold it for me. I had a good Mother's Day for a Father....
