    Farmall H year built

    I'm new to the world of Farmall's having just gotten an H at an estate auction. The serial number plate is damaged and unreadable but I have found casting codes on various parts. They range from 2-3-Z to 5-17-Z my guess is that the numbers represent the month and date and I wonder if the letter...

    1st. time Case owner update

    First off I want to thank everyone who responded to my post. I sure got a lot of valuable help and information, as I said before I've been lurking on the Yesterday's Tractor website for quite some time and I think the people here on the Case Forum are the most helpful. Ron The tractor data page...

    a few questions about barley

    I'm thinking about planting 6 acres of feed barley this Spring, for feeding out steers next Winter. Is there much difference drilling barley seed vs. oats? I know I will need to calibrate the drill to the different seed. Seed supplier recommends 2 to 2.5 bushel per acre, sound about right...

    Which plow, IH 720 or White 508?

    I have an IH 720 Automatic 5-bottom 16" that was tough pulling with our 1100 Massey (94HP) so I dropped the back bottom off and moved the tail wheel up before I plowed this Spring. We're in heavy black soil. Worked much better as a 4 bottom, but that was in corn stubble that I had disked down...

    more info questions on G900 - have pics now

    Here's some pics of the G900 diesel that I'm considering buying. Serial# 1236 shows it to be late 1968. Owner finally got it started after putting some better batteries on it. Hadn't been started in about 3 years. I drove it back to our farm, about 2 miles on the road in 5th high. Drove...

    IH 80 major malfunction, buying another one tomorrow

    Started combining oats on Saturday with my #80. As a follow up to my previous post about swathing & combining the cover crop, it was working pretty good, no problems feeding through. Only issue was a loud clacking sound that started almost right away. Sound looked to be from the adjustment...

    What can you tell me about the G900?

    Looked at a G900 diesel a few nights ago. Haven't seen it run yet, probably will set up a time to take some batteries over to get it started. Tractor has a cab, dual PTO,3 pt with dual remotes, rear 18.4-38 tires are checked and wore, but useable. Overall looks pretty clean. Hour meter not...

    swathed oats last night - combine on Saturday?

    I have 5 acres of oats that I swathed yesterday, it's a cover crop over alfalfa/timothy. They probably should have been cut earlier, since it's shelling out fairly easy, but the rains haven't allowed enough time. Rain last night was supposed to miss us, but we got about 1/4" overnight. Some...

    hydraulic hose fittings for 499 haybine pump

    I had the main high pressure hose blow out yesterday on the 499 haybine. Dealer says $172 for a new one. The hose is 1" I.D. x 45" long, with two different threaded ends. Anyone know what type of fitting those ends are? I think I'm going to take it tomorrow to a hydraulic hose shop to have one...

    steer stuffer question

    For those of you that feed out cattle with a steer stuffer (Smidley or similar style..) After you fill it with a load of feed, how often do you have to check it to make sure feed is flowing out? Does most of the feed flow out by itself, or do you have to work on it daily to keep the feed...

    Gehl hammer mill screen

    I need to change to a smaller screen in my Gehl MX65 grinder mixer (model 55 mill.) Does anyone know of a company that makes replacement screens? Other idea I'm thinking about is buying a piece of perforated steel plate and having it rolled at a local metal fab shop that has a big 3-roll...

    dropping a bottom off a 720 IH plow

    I plan on dropping a bottom off of our 5-18 #720 plow. I know the correct way would be drop the back bottom & move the tail wheel forward. BUT, time to get the plowing done is running short, and I only have 5 acres of corn stubble to plow. AND, the moldboard snapped off of the front bottom...

    corn crib question

    I still have some ear corn left in my crib from when I filled it two years ago. Grew ear corn this year, still a few weeks away from starting to pick. Think it's OK to add the new corn on top of the stuff that's 2 years old? Haven't ground corn since February, so there's some bad ears that I...

    what tires to use on Gehl grinder mixer?

    I have a Gehl MX65 grinder mixer that has old 15" truck tires on it. One is losing air, so time to fix it, may as well finally put on good tires. The truck tires really bulge a lot when it's loaded down, and they're too side so I have the rims mounted backward to keep from rubbing the frame...

    What happens when BTO can't plant a crop?

    Because of the cold, wet Spring and nearly foot of rain we got in June, there's a lot of rented fields in our area that never got planted. Renter that runs part of our farm has 110 acres on our place that they never touched, and many other fields that are the same. Most of the other big...

    opening field with hydroswing mower conditioner

    Looks like we may have a dry week starting on Monday, so I can finally try out my new to me 499 New Holland haybine. I haven't used a hydroswing before, or a 12' haybine, so there will be learning curve I'm sure. What I'm wondering is, what folks who use these normally do for opening the...

    cultivating with the H

    Rains finally let up for a few days, long enough to make a pass with the cultivator for the first time. Corn was planted on May 25, central MN, 5 acres with good drainage. Knee high in several spots, other spots are about 8" and light green, too much water I suppose. Need some heat, been too...
