    Deere 40 and Amish

    I agree. The ones I know around Yoder, KS are very good hard working people. I have never heard of an Amish taking any form of government assistance. I kinda envy them on being able to opt out of Social Security as they take care of themselves which is the way I would prefer my association...

    G1355 power steering leak

    I'll bet I can even tell you which hose it is. The pressure hose coming from the pump. there is a connection right under the floor plate, the hose you have leaking is from that joint up to the steering box. Yes it makes a very big mess and will drain the hydraulic system in just a few...

    1940 U ignition questions

    There is a much easier way and you won't have to take off the tappet cover. Pull plug #1 put your thumb over the spark plug hole and have someone roll the engine over with the hand crank until you get compression against your thumb. You are now coming up on ignition. Use a long screw driver...

    1935 FTA oil filter

    This is why the hobby is dying and our Nation is heading toward the trash heap of history just like Rome. Keep Antique tractors antique. If you desire spin on filters and "better oil" then go to a 1960's tractor. I know Charlie is way smarter than the men at Twin City who designed the...

    1935 FTA oil filter

    Wow Einstein, where were you 75 years ago. I would never use detergent oil in an engine that has never had it used in it before. If Non detergent was good enough when the tractor was new it certainly is good enough now.

    1935 FTA oil filter

    You can still get the canister oil filters from Baldwin. The one for the FTA is the same as a G so when you ask the retailer for the application just tell him a G Minnie. The KTA uses the smaller one like the U. I get them from Hampel in Wichita.

    A little history please

    I will give you a couple of stories from the 1970's. In 1970 our local dealer had two brand new Combines on the lot from 1968. A 5542 Olivier and a G Gleaner. Both gasoline machines, both 18' headers. Both had cabs, no AC just blowers. We were running a Model 40 Olivier. Dealer said he...

    Logan Cty, ND threshing machines

    I am going to guess those belonged to the late Bill Krumweide of Voltaire, North Dakota. Bill would buy them at farm sales to keep the junkies from cutting them up and would set them around on land he owned. I don't know if the grandkids sold any of them off or not. I do know they sold off...

    Latest Addition To The Gleaner Herd

    This past Friday I brought home a 6' Low Bin Gleaner that I had been after for 30 years. I first found it East of Augusta, Kansas in a barn which is 65 miles NE. The owner said he had just traded it to a person he worked with in the aircraft industry for lifetime hunting rights. Later in the...

    Picture from the past.

    That will be interesting to see how that gear change was made. I have a 1938 FTA that has a factory road gear of 12mph. Problem is you only have two field speeds and plowing this gumbo country 1st is way too slow and 2nd you are on the plow lever all the time when you hit a tight spot. It...

    MM Thresher

    Nice pickup Roger. Now My question. Do you think on these later Threshers M-M painted the galvanize with silver paint or did the owners later on do it? I have had 4 of these 28" Specials over the years. 3 were all galvanize yet one was painted over and it was the latest serial number. The...
