    Eastern Shore MD threshermans show

    Thank you for the pictures. That SDO-3 has to be one of a kind! There was a line up of Sheppards at the National Pike Steam Show. Also a nice collection of Silver Kings. I don't recall seeing either at our local Steam Pageant in Canandaigua. It's interesting how each show has it's own flavor. As...

    190XT lift link clevis

    I learned on oxy/acetylene. When I got my own outfit, they talked me into MAPP gas. I hated it. I didn't think I was ever going to get that tank used up! As soon as I did, I switched back over to acetylene. I was taught if using the cutting tip to heat, open the cutting tip knob wide open and...

    Gleaner M2

    If there was still a Gleaner dealer nearby I'd still have one. In todays' corn an M2 with a six row head will be a slow go with a lot of dumping. But that's a big machine for your acreage. My six row combine holds 250 bushels and it still can be a challenge getting around some fields to open...

    Silo for Saturday

    Looks like it could become a danger. I've never seen one which has shriveled so much that the hoops are falling down. Dad took ours down as soon as he sold the cows in the early/mid 60's. It was still in good shape. Thereafter we had a tremendous supply of 5/8 rod and heavy "staves" to use...

    Silo for Saturday

    Ours was a similar design, but I think it was a Craine, from Norwich NY. Unadilla silo was in Unadilla NY

    Silo for Saturday

    As well kept as everything else appears I'm surprised the silo hasn't been removed.

    Allis Chalmers B adjustable wide front parts

    I wouldn't be surprised if you could make parts for WD or D series tractors work. The challenge would be getting someone who cares enough to provide you with dimensions.

    2027 Deere show in New York

    Looks like between my schedule and the weather I won't be going to the steam pageant this year.

    Sometimes you should have a second opinion before you post a sign

    I have boycotted Walmart for decades. I won't go into the long story of the particular incident why. I did however buy a small toolbox there two or three summers ago. I did my shopping on line and found they were the only place which had what I wanted. When the poor old goon at the door checked...

    Sometimes you should have a second opinion before you post a sign

    I have found the local Dollar General surprisingly handy. I liked the self checkouts. They have shut them down because of too much theft. Now you have to wait for the one check out person.

    I think I have seen it all now

    Right- we want to know how she was dressed, what she looked like, etc etc.

    What make/model is this sickle mower?

    Yes- you see on the gearbox where it says- "TWIN-WHEEL". This is the first version. Then it was updated for the 8, or 80, or 82 models.

    Batwing mower guards

    My Bush Hog 15' batwing has chains in the front. I was mowing, heard a stone hit. Then shortly the cab started fogging up! I thought the AC had sprung a major leak as I smelled oil. Then the tractor started acting up, so I stopped. The mower had hit a little limestone, busted it up, and sent a...

    DIESEL FUEL TREATMENTS...

    I saw a program where a guy tried several, and Howes came out a winner. My fuel supplier told me that when he loads at the pipeline terminal an additive is injected into the line if he requests diesel fuel. If he requests fuel oil, there is no additive. He also does furnace work. After using...

    What make/model is this sickle mower?

    I agree. There might be a 7 stamped into the frame somewhere.
