Thanks Ken!

Thanks Evan. I'll double check the pitch tomorrow. Don't want you to send a tap and I measured wrong.

Yeah, that 8 has a sweet sound! I moved it out of the shop and was getting ready to put it away when I thought a little video would be fun.

Yep. I hope this helps some people. Thanks for tuning in!

Very nice! I wouldn't mind having a Super C around here, or a 200 maybe? I've got a line on a fast hitch plow for one.

I'm just glad you're watching Evan!

Most people with as much grass as I have to mow would just get a zero-turn with a 60" or so deck but I'm a tractor guy and like to run tractors that leave one hand free.... I'm going to work on the 73 plow today some and maybe shoot a drill press video. Thanks for checking in!

It's amazing, when I tallied them all up, over 70! The 14.9x38's that came off the 400 left yesterday afternoon. I found a marking on that 16.9, it had been ground off. Was probably sold as a 'blem'. Thanks for watching!

Put new 18.4x38 firestone radial 23s on my 1086 and the duals in 2021. My 1456 has the firestone field and road 20.8s and I'm not looking forward to changing those out.

@@harvestingharrolds1086 I didn't mind mounting the 20.8's, paying for them, not so much fun.

Yeah, it was a circus, I didn't even leave the house until 10:30.

Thanks!

Thanks, sounds like you had a good Thanksgiving. I did as well and even did a little shopping yesterday. Have a video I'm working on about that. Have a great rest of the weekend!

Interesting. Allis plow parts are crazy high if you can even find them. Ontario is my favorite place to fish. When I get retired in '26 I intend to spend at least a couple weeks a year there.

Thanks! The shop is really nice, especially this time of year. Dad had a 175 Allis when I was growing up, I really liked it. Would love to have it back but that won't ever happen. It went away in 1984 and I don't know the serial number.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh I know the feeling on trying to find previous tractors. Not easy

@@JeffMilitello It's never easy and when no records were kept and it was traded 40 years ago it's nye on impossible.

A tool of many uses! I eventually got those struts changed. Clocked a deer with it a couple weeks ago and the Buick's future is in doubt now. Found another one to drive but may "fix" this one enough to keep it going down the road for awhile yet. So many deer between here and work.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh That's too bad, the deer are thick here in Wisconsin too, and I drive it at night. Hit one with my truck, gonna get one of those bumper/grill guards and make a tank out of it, lol.

@@KenStewart-kt8ol Ken, I work nights so I run the gauntlet 5 days a week. Sad thing is, the one I hit was at 3:15. afternoon. Rut was in full swing, gravel road with a narrow ditch and standing corn. Happened really fast. I dated a girl from NE Wisconsin (Phelps) for a couple years, kind of miss her. Long distance is tough.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh Long distance works out sometimes, been married 32 yrs and started out with 4 hr drives. Funny thing is she did more of the driving and never hit a deer. Now I hit the deer within a few miles from home, lol.

Thanks, kind of quiet here, heading to a friends house soon.

Thanks!

Yeah, you're right, just got ahead of myself or something. Don't have any to change on the horizon but you never know what may show up around here.

Yeah, I probably should have bought that 1600.Brainfart I guess. Thanks for looking in.

It is something to see. I have a buddy in Mechanicsville that has a picker day every fall that usually has about a dozen rigs. Hopefully get some video there next year.Thanks for watching.

The rims sealed the deal on buying that tractor! I patched one 28" spin-out rim that is now on my NFE 45. The rails make it tricky.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh I had a similar experience when I bought my WD45, they had already replaced one rim and they had the other one there but hadn't changed it yet and it came with the tractor. My eyes got wide when I priced how much new spin out rims cost! Yikes!

Thanks Evan! I'll be looking forward to seeing the 770 out plowing, and happy Thanksgiviing!

A friend of mine, Mike Kalsem, shot several picking videos that day. Not sure if he got footage og=f the Case or not but check out his channel. I know he had at least 4 picking videos.

Thanks Ken. If you watch the equipment tour videos, there are two WD's and Two 45's around here as well as several other Orange things.

You're right, the shape made it easier to work with. When I did the one off the 756 it was bigger and harder to manage.

Thanks. I hope it got clean! time will tell I guess. Yeah, the 301 Allis is a sweet engine, I'm a big fan. Hope life is treating you well Evan.

It's really not too bad to do. My one CA tank had damage, pinholes. Tried to braze them up but never got them to seal, finally coated it with por 15. Like to have a better tank for it but CA tanks are hard to come by.

@ they are. This one has a dent but not really worth fixing due to going on a puller. I never tried that sealer.

@@justinblain928 The por 15v worked good, just follow the instructions to the letter. I don't coat unless really necessary. My tank could be fixed with body putty but I would prefer a nicer one, someday.

@ I’ll check it out

Glad you enjoyed it Evan. I'm getting caught up on the video I shot last spring now so things will slow down soon.

Thanks, that thing makes gardening so much easier it's hard to describe. I don't mind a little work but not going back to a walk-behind! If you remember from the equipment tour, have another No. 2. It will probably go on a 782 eventually. Have Dad's monkey wards in the shed, needs some work yet. Probably try to fix, then sell it! Man, looking forward to retirement, will attack the project list with a vengeance, when I'm not fishing!

My pleasure Evan. Always a great turn-out for this event. I've got some ideas how to make the videos better going forward, hope they work out.

Evan that 1600 was not a bad machine by any stretch. I have 19 tractors now, kind of picky what no. 20 is. I'd really like to have a 770 or 880 or something from the 50 or 55 series. The floor jack, (5 ton) will be a great asset around here! I have a still picture of the picker I could send you, e-mail is in my profile. I left you a second reply to the other video, don't know if you saw it? The Gleaner "Z" engine in that one is a 226 like what would have came in a 170, I think. Pretty sure they were 8 to 1 compression. Made pretty good HP,m not sure what rpm they were governed at? As always, thanks for watching! Kind of hard to believe how this is progressing.

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh I did see the other reply, I guess I forgot to respond to it. My cousin has a WD45 with a Gleaner engine in it that he pulls. I was just curious if it was the same engine or a different one. I still think it's funny that I ended up with a 770, I wanted a Super 77 or Super 88 but I got this one cheap. For a long time I didn't like the looks of the 3 digit tractors. They grew on me, I guess. I'm glad your channel is growing well! That's pretty cool! Hope you have a good week, Mike!

@@evanaustin2636 Thanks! over 100 subscribers already, would have never guessed that would happen this fast. I'm going to work on a video of changiing the wheel center and mounting the tires on the 400 pretty soon. Starting to learn how to do a little editing with the iPad.

Cool! Where are you located? We were supposed to plow here this weekend but just too wet. More rain in the forecast and low temps aren't helping. May get to shine some moldboards yet this year but not looking good now.

Thanks for watching and greetings from Iowa!

Thanks! There was an auction yesterday I went to yesterday only bought a floor jack and a set of transfer punches. Bid on an 88 Oliver, gave up at $1750, it sold for $3100.

I missed the part about the Gleaner engine. Yes they are a 226 like a 45 has with some minor differences. Crank snout is one and the journals are the same as a D-17 has, pretty sure. Many have been put in WD's and 45's.

Thanks!

Thanks, they are fun to tinker with. Get a lot of work out of some of them too.

Thanks for tuning in Evan. No idea why that plow was speced the way it was? That dirt really plows pretty nice, was running in low 4 direct at pto speed, probably 5.5 mph. I am really impressed with the job it does , very nice. The 2150 in Mike's video leaves me scratching my head. Someone else was running it earlier in the day and going faster. In dry conditions, auto reset bottoms will trip on the toughest dirt. Seen that on the Skunk river bottom several times. 720 IH plows, big ones behind Big Bud tractors. Hopefully get some footage of that someday.

Thanks. I did some work on the 7 today. Decided to change the oil, had gas in it. When I dropped the plug, first thing I saw was green. Ughh, Don't even want to think about that! Guess we'll see where that goes. Have a good one!

Thanks.

Thanks Evan! The shop has been a long time coming. Feels kind of strange to have concrete, and warmth. Probably do some shop updates as we go along. I ahve a really nice work bench in another building that will be going in, not till next year though. Going to purchase a decent toolbox and storage cabinet possibly. Have a better drill press to get moved in... Really lookiing forward to getting back to work on the 450!

Thanks, had to dig out Norm's bible to figure out the difference between 70 series and 80 series. The semi- mount is an 84 as it has the cushion trip bottoms.

Thanks! Took quite awhile to accumulate all this treasure.

Thanks again! With a little luck and weather permitting, the 15 is going to a local plow-day next Saturday, along with the 856.

I like those D Series Allis Chalmers. My dad had two D19's. A gas and a diesel. One was his loader tractor. Had an F11 Farmhand loader on it. In the winter he would put a comfort cab on it, and rear tire chains. It was amazing how much diffetence that comfort cab made when it was cold as hell out. Like below zero. The way the operator is positioned on those tractors, it got really nice and warm down in there. It was a little bit of a pain getting on and off, cuz you had to crawl up over the back of the seat, but it wasn't the worst thing in the world That thing fed a lot if cattle over the years. They were good tractors. Trouble free and very dependable. And I like the way they looked too. They just had a really nice look to them. I spent a lot of time on one dragging a four bottom plow around with one if them. And they were good haying tractors too.

I don't think so, it's different than 100 series tractors but can't remember how it drives for sure. The tach still works just the hour meter that is on strike.

Thanks! Well, the sub-soiler isn't going anywhere, we'll figure out something. I'm going to buy a laptop or I-pad or something to help with this stuff. Went to Wisconsin on my annual beer run today, good times! Help coming tomorrow to move the 450, maybe shoot part 4 then? Thanks for watching!

@@MikeJensen-wo7oh Got to get stocked up before winter hits, LOL. If you buy a laptop, I would not recommend a chromebook. That's what I use, they are cheaper, but there is almost no software that is compatible with them. And it won't talk to my phone anymore so getting videos off the phone is a major pain in the ass. I'd like to try something different, but I'm cheap...unless we're talking tools or tractor stuff...

@@evanaustin2636 Well, I'm an Apple guy so something from them for sure. I'll get there, in time. Really happy this got on there, finally! Hopefully it's dry enough to plow next Saturday and I get plenty of video, and can get it loaded!

Thats a New Idea running gear

@@JohnIckes-s1j Thanks.

Still working on part two. It's about twice as long as this one, lots of random stuff. Then, down to two buildings and some misc. stuff. You may see part four before two! I may re-shoot two with the go-pro and try again. I missed one Cub Cadet and probably some more things. I like that Kinze but am looking to go to 30" rows at some point. Of course, then one needs a different corn-head too. My cousin used to have a 4/7 Kinze before he went to 30" rows, it was a really nice planter. Thanks for looking in!
