Finished up with the hitch and front hydraulics installation.

Well it is 60 degrees here today but I am almost certain we will
wake up to snow tomorrow. I took the snow thrower off the 125.
It sure comes off easier then it goes on.

Tried out the cultivator that I modified after removing it from a David Bradley today. Other than needing a hydraulic or electric lift it worked great

Now that's a pretty cool spring picture. Thanks for putting it out der.

Ken

I cleaned the slimy goop out of the bung in my 782D :-)



Runs great now!

Couple days ago finally put the rake on and furrowed the cover
crop area of the garden. Broadcast seeded the peas. Sure could use
some moisture, already irrigating like crazy. I guess that what a guy gets
for farming in the desert.

Started mowing today with the zero turn until the drive belt snapped. Pushed it to the garage and put the deck on the 129 and finished mowing. It’s good to have a couple of backups.

You finished in style!!

I got the 123 running in order to back up the 782D so I know the strategy :-)

Great looking tractor...

Buffed out the 1810
 

Recently I got a new buffer/polisher, and buffed out my 1810, it looks awesome!Attachment 108454

Wow....!


That's one new looking tractor.:beer2:

Ken, do you have any pics of the rake and mount from the back? Looks like a combination sleeve hitch/3 point set up?

Hairtrigger's home adapted cultivator above is great to. :beerchug: I love "farm ingenuity"!

Wow! Looks like new.

I put the mower deck on my 126 and cut grass yesterday. I haven’t mowed with this one for a couple years, I have mostly been using my 1450.

Grass looks nice and the 126 also...

Hey Ambush. Somewhere on this forum I posted pics of what you are
asking, now if I was only computer savvy enough to find em.

There is no custom work on my end so not to much to look at.
It is just a Cat 0 Rake hooked up to a Cat 0 hitch. Standard 2 lift arms
and a top link. Maybe one day I will become a custom guy like all
the cool stuff I see on here. Oh and learn to navigate the web too.:beerchug:
I will try and find the pics again as well.
Ken

I found it for ya WVG.

Thanks Oak, good thing I have you guys to keep track of me.:biggrin2:

Ken

That looks really nice :ThumbsUp:

How do you like mowing with the 3 speed? I mow with my 106 and its a little tricky at times but I've gotten pretty good with it.

Beautiful lawn ... 126 is posing in front of it's work :-)

Thanks Oak. I'm seriously considering building a three point hitch, but I'm wavering between the Cat O and the Cat 1. Cat 1 has the advantage of more implement options and quick attach mounts.

Thanks guys!
It’s kind of annoying in some places, but overall I like it. It’s different than a hydro, I like to change it up once in a while.

Did some mowing with the 4 digit today.

In the process of making another 190-398-100 bumper copy from a more common 190-298-100 2000 series bumper for my 1050.

Completed. On the floor in front of the 1050 is an original IH logo rubber mud flap a friend gave me.

Put the 1512 to work, over the weekend. :beerchug:

Used the homemade ripper and homemade grader blade to grade the driveway.

Bent the Harbor Freight tire tool stud trying to break the bead on a rim for my 782D to replace a worn out tire. Will take it to Agri Supply tomorrow to get it changed (grrhhhh)



Easily broke the bead on a narrow rim to swap a tire for my 122 though. Wire brushed primed and painted the rim, now waiting before I can mount the replacement tire.

Put the freshly charged battery back in the 129. Hooked up the dump trailer and cleaned up sticks and hickory nuts from the yard.

Today I installed the spindles that were delivered last week and found that a pair of wheels I have fit but will only be good for rolling it around to work on it. Nice to finally see it on it's feet though! I am now waiting on a drag link, tie rod and draw bar.

brought home a twin for the 1772

Well, we need some pics then.:biggrin2:

Put the renewed 125 to work pulling the compost sifter/hauler.
First day in a week above 30 degrees, seemed like the logical thing to do.

Rolled the yard with the 129. About 5 minutes in, the driveshaft spit out the dowel pin at the engine side. Tried a new pin but it was loose in the shaft so I put a spirol pin in it to finish the job

That is one great looking ride. At least you had a pin. I have pulled alot
of bent over nails in shafts over the years.

Ken

And, sometimes a loose pin with hose clamp around the drive shaft to keep the pin from escaping.:biggrin2:

Sold the 1211 today.

Brought out the "82 Brothers" to prepare them for another year of service. 1811 has grass duty, the 1872 hauls loam and the 682 hauls firewood.

Got the 1782 running, took the #450 blower off the 1811 and put it on the 1862.

Drove the 1862 down the road to store for the summer. Slimed the front 1811 tire (slow leak -- couldn't find any bubbles). Jacked it up and noticed the bearings seem dry (no grease zerks) so that's my next project.

I also bought the brinley adapter/u hitch (the new one on eBay w/ ~700 sold) and plan on finding a sleeve hitch for the 1811, or stealing the 1711's, to try out my plow! Might as well leave the chains on :D

Played with the 2182. Mowed some, tweaked carb, and sprayed some weeds in the dark.

Weeds are pesky but I never thought about sneaking up on em. lol
