Love my grapple on the B2650, although I think I'm going to sell it for a different style.

Grandpa's Farmall Cub. We believe it's a 1948 or 1949, but can't be sure. I remember driving it planting Grandma's garden in the mid 90's. Hasn't run in a long time now, though.

Daddy bought one like that.

Great little Tractor

We done some work on it together.

The Clutch is about as big as a small serving dish.

It was broken as a New couple after a Honeymoon,

The crack was between the lower radiator and the steering gear housing.

We grooved out the crack and drilled holes at the end of the crack.

It actually turned out to be a Nice Job.

We drilled a hole and put a Grease fitting to lube the Steering box.

1974 JD 140 that my dad bought new in September of ‘73. I restored it this past winter. Should serve me well for many years

In for a Customer, 412r with .5 hours

I have the '51 8N that my granddad bought in the early 60's and used until he was in his late 80's.




We restored a '52 Farmall Cub at our shop in 2015.

That cub looks brand new!

I have a 1952 8N that I have had for 30 years.

I love the N series tractors.

Your Cub looks Over the Top

Daddy bought one of those and it was a Project to get it going.

We actually made a ONE-point lift scraper blade for it.

I always (took it easy on it ) .
The clutch disc is about as big as a serving plate

That Cub you fixed up is to perfection

[special-K]

Both tractors were so common growing up and I see them all over still today, in use as well as show quality.

That really is one fine job done on that Cub. There is a clean one for sale a couple doors down from the house I'm working on now. I've been meaning to go take a look.

The guy who's house I'm working on I noticed has a N-series tucked up under his barn. I'll keep my eye on that. wouldn't mind having one.

Kirk, you also did a fantastic restoration. I had a thing for the early lawn tractors and had two JD 110 early models, round fenders and seat. I also had an 80 trailer. When a neighbor claimed the meadow next to my place, which meant I stopped mowing it, I decided to let my 110s go. Not enough space to store them. I'll find other old ones when I move

Dad and I went back up to our farm today and I got some pictures of the John Deere. We had put new tires on it and then discovered that the engine was stuck. Oops. The clutch was also stuck, so last fall we poured some atf in the cylinders and hosed them down with PB blaster as well. We also hosed down the clutch forks and such with PB. Didn’t try to break the engine free today, but we did stand on the clutch and it’s moving now, so that’s good. Next time we get up there, we’ll try to break the engine free again

Nice Tractor

Just a Suggestion 50/50 mix of Acetone/ATf is the best for cleaning stuck cylinders.

I like to watch Vice Grip Garage. He gets some oldies going, that you'd think would NEVER run, amazing.

Then there's a Father, Son Garage in Bogata Texas. The have one Youtube show called Restored, and another....?
THese guys have gotten the worst of the worst runing. Of course the VERY worst needed more that ust a little TLC...

They inspire me!!!

Tried out the brush hog today - worked well and I didn’t do any damage.

[mr.mud1]

i was on a mission on Monday to go pick up my new to me 6 foot landscape rake and then today off again in the opposite direction to the place i bought my new Kioti tractor for a new 12 inch bucket for the backhoe and a new 5 foot brush cutter.hope to get it all unloaded tomorrow unless it pours rain like it did today,maybe have the brush cutter working on the weekend?

Now I want a tiller.

They are nice, but man they seem like one of the more expensive 3pt attachments. I was looking for one for behind my B2650 and then about fell our looking at prices, even used. Depending how often you might want to use it renting one might make a little more sense. By me sunbelt rents a 60" 3pt for $115 a day, $345 a week, or $840 a month. I got lucky and a co-worker was clearing out property at his family's place and found their old Kubota tiller. Cleaned it up, converted it to work with the quick hitch and a new driveshaft and she does what I need to do.

Excellent point. I’ll look again but didn’t find a local rental place that had attachments. If I do that’s the way I’d go. I need to reseed not quite an acre and till up a garden plot, which would be an annual deal. A rental piece would work for these.

Depending what all is around you sometimes the tractor dealers or repair places offer rentals but don't advertise it real well. I know by me the Co-Op offers some and even local farmers or owners of the equipment will post on FB marketplace or Craigslist that they will rent their attachments out. Just asking around will usually find you someone.

[DeadheadNM]

Thanks I’ll check around some more.

[Killer Bee]

got any deer on your place?

might be surprised things folks will do for you if they have access to a good deer spot

[DeadheadNM]

Lol, you can’t throw a rock here without hitting deer. I spooked a fawn brush hogging the other day.

As an aside, my wife almost adopted this baby raccoon this week.

[DeadheadNM]

A friend sent these to me yesterday, thought I’d share.

[Killer Bee]

nice - nothing runs like a deere!

[Getter-Done]

Yeah, I want to go to the show.
I drove by after work Thursday and Friday.
You could tell that it was going to be crowded.
There were lots of Green tractors on trailers.
Several tricycle tractors loaded Nose to Nose.
