Hibernating Farmall

[stevob671]

Little snowmobile ride west of Minneapolis, came across this hibernating Farmall near me Saturday. It looks cold! It, and me are ready for spring!

No hood left out all winter. Then post on here next month why it has water in every place imaginable. Or next winter why does my wheel not turn. I hate to see equipment set out like that all the time. Over night because it will not fit in the shed while planting or fall combining is one thing.

better yet engine stuck from lack of exhaust cover

Amazing how many you see without any form of rain cap, bucket, tomatoes can ,
got a 560 down the road on 528 same thing , ugh ! What a waste

Should be a crime, tractor abuse!
In 2019 I built a pole barn after buying a new Kubota.
Good timing too. Shortly after in 2020 lock down, pole barn prices doubled.

Good, shed kept equipment appreciates in value. so therefore in the end you get the cost of the shed back. Plus you had the convenience and comfort of having it in a shed.

The owner had been working on it, took it for a test ride and it died down the road. Walked home, ask his wife if she would help him pull it home. Nope she said you've spent too much time and money on that piece of junk. He stopped the next morning and covered the exhaust with a coffee can(plastic). Before he could get it home it snowed a foot and a half and he had no way to get it home with all that snow and the coffee can is gone after the blizzard. Just a made up story folks, but it could be true. Don't think I'll hang and quarter the guy until I know the real story. gobble

Next to hanging wallpaper, having wife pull out stuck tractor is fastest path to divorce.

I have stopped to look at a few of these "yard arts" over the years. Originally, they may have had a tin can over the exhaust pipe, but in a couple of months, the can either blows off or rusts through. Then, the muffler is a conduit for the rain to get right into the engine after the first winter, broken block or broken head. An ideal cover is about an 8" pvc plastic pipe with an end cap glued on. That won't rust through.
