    Ground up Blacktop

    Looks like a fairly small area, maybe what 400 to 500 square feet total? Asphalt, concrete and pavers are all good options. Substrate preparation will be very important with any option and will be the major part of the cost regardless of the surface choice. The OP did not mention if this will...

    1955 Where to start

    First, assess its condition. Second, set a budget for yourself on how much you are willing to invest in it before you are willing to sell/salvage/scrap it. Third, get the service manual. None of the problems listed sound too bad to repair. The wording threw me at first as if the power...

    Was getting a little worried

    Glad all turned out well. It never hurts to get things like that checked out while there is still time.

    Grain Drill q's

    Is a SMTA heavy enough to pull a six foot no-til drill?

    Plastic Oil Pan

    Weight reduction, cost reduction, and acoustics benefits too. Plastic oil sumps, valve covers, intake runners, etc. will absorb some engine noise rather than transmit or amplify it. A lot of 1990s cars used plastic engine parts already, that was 30 years ago now. There will always be some ham...

    Propane tank trailer idea

    Anything is doable with enough money and labor. Old hay racks, homemade pickup box trailers, and maybe an old barge box might accomplish the same thing and only cost around $500.

    Silo for Saturday

    Great pictures, thank you!!! In the third picture, what is the big pile in the back ground, a hay stack? Could there be a feeding manger on the back side of the stack? Most of the men in those pictures look young to me, probably only a few over 40 and none over 50?

    Cheap tires

    Any pair of new 12.4-38 or 13.6-38 tires with new tubes and mounted will probably cost $1,000 or more. If the tires on the tractor are original would they still be the older 11-38 or 12-38 size label? It is not unheard of to shop for a similar era tractor with good tires and rims to use as a...

    How much power through a 1175 before you start breaking things?

    Maybe lift the outer two shanks, or lift the disk gangs or pull a smaller implement to keep the ground speed adequate for the shanks to shatter the soil ( about 6 mph minimum? ).

    Land Rent

    Sorry about the loss of your father. Strongly suggest you and the estate's executor talk to some local professionals, especially those that your father was dealing with: accountant, lawyer, etc. Since you live in the area you probably already know those people well. Sounds like you are not...

    Land Rent

    Farm leases are different than most other leases, most farm leases automatically roll over to the next year unless notice is given. There may be a deadline each year for either party to give each other notice of any changes or ending the lease.
