    Brake anchor pin & collar

    Hello friends, I’m trying to replace brake shoes on my 971 and I’m fighting the anchor pin & collar. I assume 40-60 years has pretty well rusted the collar on the pin. I’ve removed the clip and given them some healthy raps with my 3# hammer and gave a good soaking with penetrant yesterday. I...

    New Tires

    Hey friends, Long time no post. My ol’ 971 has needed wheels/tires forever, so I finally bit the bullet. I’ll spray everything down after I pull my pie weights off and let sit for a while. Any pointers? I’ve never swapped centers before, so we’ll see how it goes. These are a few years old, as...

    Possible Tires

    Hey Friends, It's been over 6 months since I last posted and I've only posted a couple times a year since moving into town. I still get to use the ol' 971 once in a while, but the old 13.6x28 CaCl filled wheels are near kapoot, rusted through, leaking, etc. There are some 14.9x28 "waffle"...

    Got to play some today

    Hoping to share some pics and still will, but the 2MB limit makes it a little more involved. I will email/downsize and post later. This can surely be improved. Chris

    671-D near me (just saw it while driving)

    Hey all, Reportedly a barn find with a new paint job. Based on the inching pedal and the fact the serial # is still there, makes me think it may be low hours (600 hrs on the clock). The serial # is not too far below mine. Without looking it up, should be early 1960 or very late 59 ...

    Winter fun!

    Hey all, Chasing a little wood this weekend and found a spot I couldn’t get the tractor/trailer combo out of. Snow on the frozen ground limited my traction. At any rate, after disconnecting the trailer, I did manage to get the tractor home and a little wood. We are having an old fashioned...

    Still doing all I ask :)

    Hey all, I hope everyone is doing great and wish you all a blessed Christmas season. I’ve continued to mow the pasture, blade the drive, collect wood and a myriad of other small jobs with the 971, always a pleasure. It’s hard to tell in the pick above, but I’m going up about a 10%...

    New use for the 971

    Hey All, It's been a while, but the 971 is doing fine. Brush hogging, a little garden dirt moving, picking up wood in the fall and blading the drive. I did recently add pulling fence and honey collection to the list. I need to stabilize the honey collection as the "supers" were pretty tippy...

    Abusing my poor trailer

    Hey all, Got a partial load of wood today and was backing my trailer on some rougher ground. Bad angle and broke the tongue on the wood trailer. Not the best design to start with, but it worked for 20 years or more. Still wanting the wood and trailer up the hill, I hillbilly repaired it and...

    Off topic - looking for a Ford Maverick

    Hey All, Not tractor related, but my son and I are searching for a 1970-1977 Ford Maverick or Mercury Comet to work on and bring back to life for his car when he turns 16. We've been scouring CL and I've joined a Maverick/Comet forum. Anybody know of or have an old Maverick needing some TLC...

    A little service for my gal :)

    Hey All, Serviced the 971 for the first time in a couple of years. Didn't change hydraulic fluid because it looks great on the stick and didn't change anti-freeze. Engine oil, air filter oil and SOS tranny oil changed and the front pedestal and both gear reductions (on the rear) checked for...
