You guessed it.

I use a 144 hole drum to plant soybeans and a 36 hole drum for corn. You would have to speed the gearing up on the 36 up to achieve the population for soybeans, but it is possible. International also had a 72 hole drum, l used to plant navy beans with that. I hope that helps.

@@frede5656 Thank you very much for your help! Maybe you don't know a store where I can buy soy drums? It would be important to deliver to Hungary as well. Unfortunately, you can't get a 400 cyclo soy drum with us, we only have sunflower and corn drums.

I am very satisfied so far.

I took a fellow County man's advice, "its a farm dozer now, put the cheapest stuff on it you can find and you still will not wear it out again."

It is but l added a one inch Ingersoll for the heavy truck work.

I doubt it opens quite that far, l will measure it next time l use it.

I usually open up the fields by making 6 rounds and baling that for silage bales. When l come back l can cut back and forth without lifting the head, this makes for the fastest turn l have found.

The engine parts are hard to find and very expensive when you find them, even without the added problems caused by the fire. You can see the cylinder head was off already, he was working on finding a replacement for a cracked sleeve.

@@frede5656 I'm involved in the industry, a good starting point would be the STEINERS Catalog.

@@Trollemharder. And, a second choice is Allstates Ag Parts. Also know as ASAP. Fergieman

When my brother was gathering the parts for Dad's SMDTA he had to wait for the one company that still makes the engine bearings to run a production batch, there was no old stock to be found. In all he was a year finding sleeves, pistons, rod and main bearings as well as the complete gasket set. I may do a video on that tractor, there seems to be some interest in these dinosaurs.

I see plenty of people telling you where you can find parts which is true , BUT the part they seem to be ignoring is that you HAVE TO HAVE $ MONEY $ to be able to buy the parts with . With the fire destroying the building I'm guessing the owner has more important things to spend his remaining money on besides a show tractor that will see very little if any field work once it's restored if he decides to still restore it sometime in the future .

You know the history on this one too!

Good day from Ontario So r u sayin if pistons weren't steel they would to have been changed? Thanks

@@donvoll2580 well most likely but the crank case was still full of oil so maybe not at the time I didnt know that they were steel because that when I bought it was in mint condition I started working right away and it run very good then the barn caught fire I thought it was no more than scrap metal until I started taking it apart maybe this thing can be saved and sure enough it is

@@buckshot8176 Well that is good Thx

My neighbor had a shed fire. He saved every one of his antique tractors. It just takes deep pockets because the insurance company will never pay enough to bring it back.

@@hturbo1007 you are absolutely right on that

It is not for sale. It belongs to a good mechanic friend of mine, l have a straight super md for parts and we have talked of a 400 diesel donor. It will run again in some form, but maybe not 100% historically accurate!

Retirement project, lol!

Its more fun than thumbing through the catalog, its good to hear from you, Steve.

There is still some useful life in this old stuff if you don't mind tinkering.

These guys have a sign out looking for seasonal help, lol!

We are up here in the land of 30 to 40 bushel beans, not my machine but looks like it is handling it okay.

Dry days to harvest have been in short supply this year.

Not that day, first day mixing in the new RC shed.

My brother had a D8H that sounded good in a push!

I agree. I want to a tractor show that an HD21 Allis, and nothing sounded better than that dozer with a full load ahead of the blade and the turbo spooled up...

@@snowman9980 You probably do not remember the HD 21 and HD 11 that started building the golf course south of town, both sounded good.

@@frede5656I have a video someplace of that HD21 I spoke of. It was an original survivor-very low houred machine. Man did that baby have a turbo whistle to it. Ill show you the video sometime

Thank you

True,nice that it has come down thru many generations!

@@hbruder1550 Your family too!

My brother and l each had one, l tried dark reds a couple of years but were mostly navies back in the days of Seafarer variety.

From the looks of your channel you get some snow!

I was filling in for the usual driver of that Western Star, they usually send me to dig pit run while this is going on. That MM powered one that you remember just sold at auction last year!

Good WiFi

I bought a 1070 for parts that had about the same story, fresh overhaul that put a window in the block right quick.

All 8 horsepower!
