    Sickle mower - pitman or pitman-less?

    I been accused of being a half a bubble off plumb, but unbalanced - well ok maybe I resemble that:<)! I guess I'll search for a New Holland or other "balanced head" mower. Any other brands I should be looking at? Cheers and stay well. Barry W. Larson

    Sickle mower - pitman or pitman-less?

    I'm looking for advice on a sickle mower. This will mostly be used to periodically mow longer grass around some out buildings and some shallow road ditches. When I was growing up we had a Case Model 10 trailing mower - 7 or 8 foot as I recall which worked well and mowed a lot of hay in it's...

    Almost done planting crops for the year

    Combining alfalfa seed. One of our neighbors raised alfalfa seed and used a Case combine exclusively for his harvest - a 960 as I recall. He said they were the best combine for that type of seed and he had tried a couple of others. I don't remember combining alfalfa with our combines, but I...

    Almost done planting crops for the year

    630 Diesel

    Thanks for that information. Do you happen to know the approximate time intervals covered by the various engine modifications? All I know is that my dad's was bought near the end of production judging by the years the 630 was built. It might have even been a carryover from the previous year...

    630 Diesel

    Hi Bob: My Dad bought a new 630 diesel in, as I recall 1963 or 1964. He used this as his only tractor until about 1975 when he also acquired a 730 for a bit and then an 830 which was later traded about 1978 or so for an 870 with power shift. The 630, 730 and 830 were all Case-O-Matic and were...
