    Ford 5000 Serial Number decode

    The company that I worked for, until 1972, based in Mount Vernon, Washington, imported many 5000 and a few 3000 series tractors from Great Britain. They were considerably less expensive than the US models. They were sold all over Washington, Oregon, and into Idaho, Utah, and Montana. If there...

    Was it possibly corn for green chop. These new choppers don't need headlands, or even to follow rows.

    Modifying cabs to fit other tractors

    I have to agree. I'm a real fan of the thousand series Fords, but I don't know if you could add enough insulation to quiet one down with a cab. Headphones would be a much better option, with a soft cab.

    Feeder steers and diamond rings

    Bought Linda's rings in 1966(her mom wasn;t too pleased) on lay away plan. I think the paymant was $15 a month, no interest, When she put them on, we agreed, they were never replaced. If she wanted a bigger one, she could have it, but the originals never came off. After having the lower...

    New threshing video....

    Anyone used one of these

    Back in the mid 70s, one of my fellow mechanics had two of them. He used them for removing fan bolts when changing water pumps. In later years I bought a long ratchet that had extremely short sockets, and an offset handle to do the same job. I still have it tucked away somewhere.

    Update to "Guess what I was trying to do "..........Fire

    It breaks the surface tension of the water, and allows it to penetrate better.
