    Help identifying a MM tractor

    A guy real close by has this tractor for sale. The price is cheap enough, but Im not very familiar with Moline tractors and he hasnt told me what model it is . he just says its a '58. I looked up a bunch of pics trying to match it and havent found one that looks like it. And I...

    Case Nutty 1660, a word with you please

    If that tractor had rice tires on the back and the tall single rib tires on front it would be close. The operators platform was lower and allowed for standing. I bought a Farmall 300 from my Grandmother and traded it for Old Mort with a little boot. I was a Jr in High School when I traded...

    Case Nutty 1660, a word with you please

    Am I blind or is your email missing? And I really have no clue as to cost of JD vs IH vs Case in those days. I was mostly in the operating business end of it all, not the buying end. :wink:

    Case Nutty 1660, a word with you please

    It seems we cant PM here and I dont know your email, so, I will try to be polite and talk here. :wink: I have been reading backwards thru the threads here and assume you had a past connection with Case. I grew up, in Wharton County, TX.. There was a lot of rice in Wharton, Matagorda and...

    How do you rake hay?

    My grandfather was a stickler about raking. We raked round and round. Nut there was always a little left on tye corners by both the rake and the baler.To properly finish, you either got off and moved any bales in the way or if you were lucky, the haulers were right behind the baler and there...

    Very old Case wheels

    The rim without the tire doesnt really look like it was designed to be used ...without the tire. I'll take the rubber off and take a picture of the rim tomorrow. Aint arguing, just saying how it appears to me. But I was guessing a threshing machine myself.

    Very old Case wheels

    Three of these wheels popped up on craigslist and they were close by. They were advertised as tractor wheels, but all the pics he posted showed were the center with the logo. I went with intentions of buying all 3, partly to have and partly to keep the scrap guys from getting them. But, once...

    Bought my nephew a rifle--sister in law freaked-out

    I pick and choose my relatives anyway, so I would have no problem acting as if the sister in law didnt exist. And I see no problem with a kid shooting at my house. It is just one of those things that get to be done at so and so's house. As far as kids and gun safety, mine were exposed to...

    he said he new where the gas line run on his farm pics

    I call BS on this. They will point the finger at you every time. I have seen it go to the lawyers when the locate was 10' off. They are off by a foot or more as often as they or on the mark.

    he said he new where the gas line run on his farm pics

    I have been in the underground utility industry since 1990. Used to be there was an 18" leeway either side of the locate for a margin of error. These days it is 3' either side and even if it is outside that 3' and you hit it, there will be a fight over who's fault it is. What's worse is when...

    WD-9 and 1/2 ton truck

    When I was younger, I'd do it in a minute. Ive pulled some loads that thinking back on were insane and with no trailer brakes. But I dont think there is much question that trucks 35 years ago were a little heavier than they are now. I routinely hauled 2500 lbs from the feed mill in my 1/2 t...

    Stationary thresher

    About 3 weeks back, we went to a Draft horse and Antique Tractor Harvest day. The intentions were to run a horse drawn binder and the run it thru the thresher, but it has been so dry, they didnt make any oats or barley to bind. So they set up the thresher and fed it from a round bale of...

    Farmall 340 ???s

    I just came across a Farmall 340. It may be worth the money I guess depending on what is wrong with it. All I know about a 340 I just read on external_link, so, I was hoping if anyone here had any experience with one you could tell me the good, bad, ugly, what to particularly look for , etc...

    My combines of yesteryear ( reminiscing here )

    I was at an equipment auction Saturday and there was a pretty clean JD 7700 with a 4 row corn head there. I was sitting in the shade looking at it and thinking about back in the day, we had a neighbor that bought a brand new one and how huge that thing seemed back then, but sitting there at this...
