Just a note to say "HI" from Goldendale Washington. Have enjoyed your channel offerings since I started watching last year. Appreciate what you have sahred, your work and your family life. I'm a retired frustrated farmer who was raised in the urban world, however, hy wife was raised on a small dairy farm in Oregon. Thanks for sharing your farm and ranch life. Bob
As to ear protection....indeed...the cabbed tractors of the 1970's and even into the 1980's provided little sound buffering. And my hearing issues today are mostly due to them but I wouldn't trade it for the days spent operating these beauties, even when it was a horrible chore.
What great memories of some great tractors. We lived a mile from a large J.I. Case dealership west of Racine, WI so Case was our tractor except for a couple Massey-Ferguson 135's which used to be produced right in Racine. The Case 530 was the most awesome, drivable/useful tractor ever and the 730 Tractor King was my favorite as I spent many a summer pulling an FMC Sweet Corn harvester for fresh market sweet corn production. No IH tractor could ever be "junk" and I loved every one I ever had a chance to operate. Thanks for a nice, memory-evoking video!!
We had a 1066 International years ago, it was a great tractor. We worked alot of ground, baled hay and plowed snow all those years ago, alot of great memories.
The linkage is an easy fix. The metal is all straight on the tractor looks nice. I bet the wipers and air are fuses or something simple. I had a 966 hydro and a 1466. The 966 had over 12000 hours on it and still worked great. Old school tractors that don’t have a lot of electrical parts.
I use to have a 966we used to pump water that old thing would run for a week straight and never miss a beat, just fill it up in the morning and top it off again last thing at night and she would just hum a long. Never used her for much else other than moving the irritation pipe trailer around and hay wagons.
The few times I've been to auctions I've mostly just but the cheap stuff that nobody else even wanted to bid on. I'm not interested in competing to see who is willing to overpay by the most! ;-) Thanks for the video Carl, it's always nice when your daughter rides along.
@@garypfleegor1634 I agree that people (will sometimes) pay more at an auction than they might otherwise pay in a normal retail purchase. Your first statement that people ONLY send junk to auctions is not logically supported by the claim that people pay more at auctions than they will pay a dealer. If that were true the best choice for dealers would be to sell their stuff at auctions. One can find bargains at auctions if they put in the effort, know what items they bid on are worth and don't allow a competitive ego cloud their better judgment.
I was working for a farmer in the mid to late 70's and he bought a Hydro 100 with the white stripe. I put a lot of hours on it plowing and digging potatoes it was a great tractor. His son is now my bother-in-law and they now have 3 Hydro 100's. They don't use them much anymore since there operation has grown and the equipment has too
Stick with older Deers....I was raised with IH tractors....when the bank and I went on my own I had a very clean 5020 turbo 162 hp...4010 w 4020 rebuild 112 on the dyno,both tractors always washed ,waxed they were my workhorses..best tractors I ever drove...
Your daughter was so excited about the tractor! I felt like once you discovered the wheel bearing issue, it was a wake up call on the tractor with a whole lot more money involved helping make the decision not to buy it.
New paint on used equipment is a red flag for me and coupled with the looseness in the linkages, heating and A/C issues raise concerns about the overall condition. The bids were low for a reason. Looks like high potential to be a pit for money and time. I have been down this road and it didn't end well.
I just want the best value and reliability. That has more to do with maintenance and care than it does paint color. Parts availability and service matter too.
we had a open station 100 hydro my grandpa bought new and it was the best tractor on the farm. never had any issues with the hydro slipping or any transmission issues. tractor had 6,000 hours on it when it sold in 2018 for $17,250
Put a lot if hours on a 1066 Hydro back in the day. Have a Hydro 70 for snow blower and small rotary ditcher. They are built for low speed variable speed PTO work not high draft work. Keep the Hytran fresh to postpone the rebuild cost. Should get your daughter a 1206, I think she would love an open station to parade and tractor ride.
First thing to check on a hay wagon is the wheel bearings, commonly neglected. Many times you can shake the hay rack back and forth, and hear and feel the wheel bearings clunk, and feel the looseness. If the spindle is bad, that can be a rotten job to change, and expensive. New paint, we call the the DuPont overhaul... Paint and nothing else..
Thanks for taking me along again. I appreciate the date subtitles. It really makes the timeline of your week stand out. I have no hay, corn or beans but I would like to have a tractor in the garage just to drive around town in the winter when the big snows and everyone else is snowed in.
Had a 1975 hydro 100 for 40 years neighbor owns it now never had an issue with the hydro great for making hay not much of a tillage tractor and yeah cabs are noisy
My Dad always was a farmall fan . He had a wall plaque that read "If It Aint Red , Leave It In The Shed" . I personally like lots of different tractors .
I would recognize that sale yard anywhere. You were at Everett's auction last week. My brother was at the sale and was telling me about that International 100 and the 1206 sitting next to it.
That’s insane we were interested in this tractor a month before the sale which is 5 miles away from where we live! and it went too much and we don’t trust the new paint since it was probably super beat up before. and here it is on my feed. We wanted it for a time tractor
With my FORD 6610 I would have loved to come and help you out there on the Iowa plains, but Northern Norway is too far away. Anyways, keep up the good work! Say hello to your daughter from us on the Bakkehaug Prairie.
With throttle linkage and steering loose, plus "other functions " not working tells me someone painted up a piece of junk just to sell it. Buyer beware....... this is why it's being sold at an auction instead of from an individual. 👍 Very common practice.
Thanks for the interesting video, I grew up in the U.K before moving to Canada Ant eater is a very common name for those IH's I've also heard them called Snoopy's as well, There was a few in the U.k my dad nearly bought one for our farm there, they don't make much here either I saw a nice repaint a few weeks ago for less than $10K Can . When I worked in a dealers the first year I was here I put a clutch in one, that was a fun experience for a guy being use to regular tractors, the job after was pivot bushings in a stieger panther or puma, That was one interesting week learning stuff. That painted IH would have far more in it than it was worth, to do a full on fix everything rebuild. It was a shame to waist all that fancy looking paint and prep work on it really, but hey if the guy enjoyed doing it for fun that's all that mattered to him. I fixed a 966 with that type cab for a guy, I like those older IH's but couldn't stand that cab and I never spent a day driving it. Now I'd love a 1206 without a cab but the prices on a rent a wreck one are just stupid round here, and i couldn't afford to restore it with the respect it deserves. Take care
So you never got onto one of those Fordson Major double.......see them and MuirHill once in a while at the odd show..The idea of Canada after UK......unless it's Lincolnshire......and even them..So.,what are you growing.?
@@robertwoodliff2536 No Never been into the fordson Doe tractors. The cost of those is crazy. The sad part is when I lived in the U.K I knew a tractor dealer who bought them cheap when they weren't collectable. converted them back to 2 tractors and scrapped all the conversion parts. His mechanic told me they probably did half the production run ! There was one here in MB, I was talking about a county in a dealership and mechanic said is that one of those things thats 2 majors, I asked more and he told me he'd seen it on a farm, there was 2 shipped here in the day but it's long gone, probably back in the U.K now. Don't think there is any Muir hills out here, but I do have 2 954 counties I bought in Manitoba. We grow wheat/ barley if it's worth anything in a "good year" and canola, prices are stupid high this year wheat sold at $11 a bushel and we got $22 for canola this week !
The Hydro 100 was a really nice Hydro unit especially when it got a turbo thrown on it. It's not a tractor I would want to buy in cold weather, I'd want a hot summer day and about 4 hours of work to put her through to see how the tranny behaves. The heat and AC is cheap to work on compared to that tranny. She'd be a good raking and tedding tractor but I'm not sure about mowing depending on your mower (I mow with a 7110 or 7220 with a hydra swing discbine it's heavy). I like the old IH Hydro's but not for anything heavy pulling and they all did whine a lot. But what a snow blower tractor.
I run a 1066 hydro that’s been in the family since new. Having done a complete front end rebuild, all new pins and bushings at 10,000 hours and she drives amazing doing 18mph in road gear. Simple fix and that steering slop will be gone with a $500 front end rebuild kit. Can’t comment on the cab since we only have open stations. For the right price that’s quite the tractor
I worked in an aircraft maintenance shop many years ago. We got to work on several crappy airplanes that had nice paint. We called them flying paint jobs. Surprising number of people thought since the paint was nice the airplane must be well maintained.
I'd be very afraid of any IH Hydro. I have a IH 656 Hydro that seemed like a great deal...new tires, engine work....everything...but found out that the hydrostatic was out. Wasn't crazy bad to fix, but you don't find out until the tractor is under a load. When I see a Hydro fixed up as nice as that, makes a fella wonder why it was at the auction. Red flags galore.
We’ve got a farm auction like that every year down here in west Texas though I’ve heard the owners are planning on shutting it down soon and it spans over 5 days. Always interesting to see what’s at it.
Just started watching you guys. Really enjoyed it... first channel I have ever subscribed to.. I'm a gentlemen farmer I guess you could say only three hundred acres. Keep up the great videos. Thanks from Kansas.
Neighbor of mine had a hydro 100 , turbo . He loved it for pulling a pull type combine , but said it would not pull a chisel plow as good as a gear tractor . I had a 3588 , nice quiet cool tractor but that gear train was awfully complicated and weak
I enjoyed hearing from you concerning your farm and your thoughts and path to making a decision on the International Harvester tractor. I used to be a diesel mechanic and every once in a while, we would get a tractor to work on so I know some of your anxiousness concerning owning a tractor that you had really not a whole lot of information for. I personally have never had a farm as large as yours looks nor was I able to run a tractor as large as the ones you have...etc. I have mostly been around the one tractor fits all for the farm. The tractor is the main hub of the little farms so to speak. The loose steering or steering wheel with a lot of play is probably an easy fix as I am sure that tractor has power steering. Its probably just an adjustment placed there for folks to adjust the steering unit when it gets too loose but it can be other things too. Like the guy in next entry says, the linkage is probably the reason that your throttle lever has so much play. If the electrical parts you stated are not working, the fuses would be the first thing I would check if not the fuses, it would be some further troubleshooting. Its hard to think all that stuff does not work because of individual fuses. It may be something with the major wire that supplies all the stuff in the cab. I expect there are other stuff on the tractor that does not work that is electric.
On that 100 tractor. I don't think it is the door seals. If you lay lead backed foam on the inside sheet metal you would be shocked you could hear a whisper. The no air or heater would not work very well. The steering box may be shot and impossible to replace. The throttle is easy to fix. The quick start means the engine and injection pump are wonderful. Someone spent a mint on this tractor.
Enjoyed this one a lot. You know I'm an old 2 cylinder Deere man from the way back, but I have red in my background also. My dad bought a Farmall A, must have been in '53 or '54 (I Nwas 8 or 9 years old). It took me a while to put on enough weight to be able to master the clutch, but I learn to hand crank it right away ... always just pull up on the crank, thumb and fingers on the same side of the handle ... there wasn't all that much compression ... three pulls would usually do it ... magneto ignition, no stater or battery or electrical problems ever. Love those old Reds. Enjoy fall.
@@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206 even on New pieces of equipment I go through the bearings... always a lack of grease I've found except on Vermeer and Rowse equipment from what I've come across. It's like they dip the bearing in grease, shove it in, and that's it.
The 100 IH is very hot using in the summer. I remember farmers that would use it in field and they would put a block of wood on the floor so you wouldn't burn your feet on the floor.
Back in the early 80's we leased a 2+2 a few different times to help with Fall and Spring tillage. I absolutely loved running it as it pulled our tillage equipment much easier than our 4440. To this day, 40 years later, my friends still rib me about my love for the 2+2, and they're International guys while I grew up with all John Deere tractors. Go figure.
I'm a fan of those era Internationals, the "66's" more than the 88's and those Hydro's were really slick. First one I ever saw was in Longmont Colorado, young fellow was using it to run a machine to churn up his "poop" piles as he was selling composted manure for 18 dollars a yard. Having the "hydro" vs. gear box gave him the control needed...always wanted one. Have 1066 now and should the right hydro show up I would certainly consider it for hay ops.
I'd walk away from the International. It's pretty, but going to be a Hi maintenance gal. I made the mistake of buying a Pretty all painted up Ford tractor once. Then I found out the whole front end and hydrolic system needed replaced.
I grew up doing hay work on our 86 hydro in south Texas. . No cab like that. Just a roof. Besides hay it ran the grain augers. Hydro can be a pain when it has issues. But it starts right up no matter how long it sits.
The tractor certainly looks nice but paint can hide a lot of things, If you know the owner well and can get its history it would be beneficial. I was amazed that the tractor at least had air conditioning at some stage, You would have something to work with anyway, But who knows how much it would cost to get it fully operational ( the AC ).
Kind of wish you had bid on the 100 IH took it home, grow up with Farmalls and 560 IH .later bought a 706 for heavy-duty work , we farmed around a 450 acers had about 30head feeder stock hogs behind them that was back in the 60,s
Had a 1975 966. Was in good condition but needed the TA rebuilt. Was going to be a major repair, splitting the chassis. Found it better to trade it in for a low hour Farmall 95 front assist. The 95 was perfect for the hayfield. Plus it was much more comfortable (heat AND AC) and quite vs the old 966.
My dad and his cousin had a new 1066 in 1973, and it was my tractor to drive. They started real good and were good pullers but the cab wasn't much and sounded like you were in a wind tunnel. Then the 86 series came out later and you had to be careful opening the door until you got used to them or you were libel to knock yourself off the ladder. I never did figure out why they hinged the doors on the wrong side -
No dealers have any inventory, new or used - auto/truck or equipment - empty lots. This situation is a lot, lot worse than you can wrap your head around. NW Georgia here.
I take the Amizh to many auctions . I get some deals on small stuff. Some auctions the food is the best part. We nearly froze on Saturday. My customer bought a horse drawn ice plow for cutting ice.
A person should expect to have to do repairs for items purchased at an auction. If the tractor meets your needs, plan on the repairs and make an offer. Best wishes.
My dad and I arrived a little late at a farm auction. They were working on the jewellery wagon. I vouldn't get close enough to get a good look, when the wagon went up for sale. I bought it cheap! When I hooked up to tow it home I found out why i thg went cheap. It was a Model T frame and the wheels did not match. Lug nut holes had been drilled wherever. Going down the road it rolled like a vlown wagon. Had to stay below 15 miles an hour or it would have shaken itself apart.
We have one my grandpa bought in 1976 to put on a vermeer tiling machine he rigid it up so that you could pretty well drive it from the outside from the back we still own it ran everything from planting tractor to tillage and then mainly ran the feed grinder anymore just runs the grain vac and auger I believe it has well over 10,000 hours no major issue
The old iH isn't new any more so things are going to show some wear but having said that I'd take that red tractor any day of the week over a green one because once you had the best forget the rest or if it ain't red leave in the shed we only run red equipment here that's the way it's been since 1956 is it perfect no but it still better then the that green stuff.
Hi, just came across your channel and like the format and presentation you deliver, live to see these huge auctions and all the interesting farm machinery and especially the older tractors that we probably don't see here in the uk. I would imagine all those faults you flagged up on the International tractor could be put right for little money, so if it was cheap enough might be worth a punt. Interesting Christmas present perhaps.
the linkage would be a easy fix , but the best thing is none of the electric computer stuff she would go on for years , i expect it would be great for summer hay work and last a long time
Hello Mr.Carl, thx 4 bringing us w/ U today. Nice to see your Daughter hanging out w/ Dad, always love it when mine does. I think maybe I heard you wrong though, combines are really Silver. :-) Is that a 1065A gear under Ur new kicker rack? Good luck w/ repairing the bearings & seal, good time to check all four hubs. God Bless & please farm safely.
Trust me..that red combine is the right color
I LOVE those old IH's. The steel tractors from the 60's, 70's and early 90's are so classic.
At least there’s one good combine there. The red one!
You're blessed with a smart sidekick there Carl .... blessed be your FARM.... amen !

I grew up on a farm in SW Minnesota and I remember dad's sale as a very cold day as well. So you commenting on how cold it was brought back memories!
What great memories of some great tractors. We lived a mile from a large J.I. Case dealership west of Racine, WI so Case was our tractor except for a couple Massey-Ferguson 135's which used to be produced right in Racine.

Wasn't crazy bad to fix, but you don't find out until the tractor is under a load. When I see a Hydro fixed up as nice as that, makes a fella wonder why it was at the auction. Red flags galore.
a machanic at my local dealer told me if its got new paint on it leave it there cause its putting lipstick on a pig.
Carl, you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving.
We’ve got a farm auction like that every year down here in west Texas though I’ve heard the owners are planning on shutting it down soon and it spans over 5 days. Always interesting to see what’s at it.
Just started watching you guys. Really enjoyed it... first channel I have ever subscribed to.. I'm a gentlemen farmer I guess you could say only three hundred acres. Keep up the great videos. Thanks from Kansas.
Neighbor of mine had a hydro 100 , turbo . He loved it for pulling a pull type combine , but said it would not pull a chisel plow as good as a gear tractor . I had a 3588 , nice quiet cool tractor but that gear train was awfully complicated and weak
Nice looking new auger Carl
Love the 'Anteater'.
I worked at a Case IH dealer in the '80's & '90's and the cab on that Hydro 100 (66 series) had the most repaired A/C.
I always enjoy going to consignment sales. You never know what you might find.
I enjoyed hearing from you concerning your farm and your thoughts and path to making a decision on the International Harvester tractor. I used to be a diesel mechanic and every once in a while, we would get a tractor to work on so I know some of your anxiousness concerning owning a tractor that you had really not a whole lot of information for. I personally have never had a farm as large as yours looks nor was I able to run a tractor as large as the ones you have...etc. I have mostly been around the one tractor fits all for the farm. The tractor is the main hub of the little farms so to speak.
The loose steering or steering wheel with a lot of play is probably an easy fix as I am sure that tractor has power steering. Its probably just an adjustment placed there for folks to adjust the steering unit when it gets too loose but it can be other things too. Like the guy in next entry says, the linkage is probably the reason that your throttle lever has so much play. If the electrical parts you stated are not working, the fuses would be the first thing I would check if not the fuses, it would be some further troubleshooting. Its hard to think all that stuff does not work because of individual fuses. It may be something with the major wire that supplies all the stuff in the cab. I expect there are other stuff on the tractor that does not work that is electric.
Hi There, I really enjoy watching your videos. Please, keep uploading .
On that 100 tractor. I don't think it is the door seals. If you lay lead backed foam on the inside sheet metal you would be shocked you could hear a whisper. The no air or heater would not work very well. The steering box may be shot and impossible to replace. The throttle is easy to fix. The quick start means the engine and injection pump are wonderful. Someone spent a mint on this tractor.
I would have to agree with you 👍 💯
Enjoyed this one a lot. You know I'm an old 2 cylinder Deere man from the way back, but I have red in my background also. My dad bought a Farmall A, must have been in '53 or '54 (I Nwas 8 or 9 years old). It took me a while to put on enough weight to be able to master the clutch, but I learn to hand crank it right away ... always just pull up on the crank, thumb and fingers on the same side of the handle ... there wasn't all that much compression ... three pulls would usually do it ... magneto ignition, no stater or battery or electrical problems ever. Love those old Reds. Enjoy fall.
Nothing new with wheel bearings at an auction sale. That's always #1 on my list of bring it home. It is a neglected part of machines.
I must admit it’s been a long time since I’ve looked at the wheel bearings on our hay wagons.
@@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206 even on New pieces of equipment I go through the bearings... always a lack of grease I've found except on Vermeer and Rowse equipment from what I've come across. It's like they dip the bearing in grease, shove it in, and that's it.
The 100 IH is very hot using in the summer. I remember farmers that would use it in field and they would put a block of wood on the floor so you wouldn't burn your feet on the floor.
Back in the early 80's we leased a 2+2 a few different times to help with Fall and Spring tillage. I absolutely loved running it as it pulled our tillage equipment much easier than our 4440. To this day, 40 years later, my friends still rib me about my love for the 2+2, and they're International guys while I grew up with all John Deere tractors. Go figure.
I'm a fan of those era Internationals, the "66's" more than the 88's and those Hydro's were really slick. First one I ever saw was in Longmont Colorado, young fellow was using it to run a machine to churn up his "poop" piles as he was selling composted manure for 18 dollars a yard. Having the "hydro" vs. gear box gave him the control needed...always wanted one. Have 1066 now and should the right hydro show up I would certainly consider it for hay ops.
I'd walk away from the International. It's pretty, but going to be a Hi maintenance gal. I made the mistake of buying a Pretty all painted up Ford tractor once. Then I found out the whole front end and hydrolic system needed replaced.
I'm loving the IH Hydro
I grew up doing hay work on our 86 hydro in south Texas. . No cab like that. Just a roof. Besides hay it ran the grain augers. Hydro can be a pain when it has issues. But it starts right up no matter how long it sits.
First time I’ve watched on of your videos. I will definitely come back for more
The tractor certainly looks nice but paint can hide a lot of things, If you know the owner well and can get its history it would be beneficial. I was amazed that the tractor at least had air conditioning at some stage, You would have something to work with anyway, But who knows how much it would cost to get it fully operational ( the AC ).
Kind of wish you had bid on the 100 IH took it home, grow up with Farmalls and 560 IH .later bought a 706 for heavy-duty work , we farmed around a 450 acers had about 30head feeder stock hogs behind them that was back in the 60,s
It all depends on the price!
Had a 1975 966. Was in good condition but needed the TA rebuilt. Was going to be a major repair, splitting the chassis. Found it better to trade it in for a low hour Farmall 95 front assist. The 95 was perfect for the hayfield. Plus it was much more comfortable (heat AND AC) and quite vs the old 966.
T/A was bad, because someone actually tried using it.
@@toddgittins5692 We use ours every day with no problems.
Greetings from AUS. 👍
👋
Most things that go to auction there is a reason!
My dad and his cousin had a new 1066 in 1973, and it was my tractor to drive. They started real good and were good pullers but the cab wasn't much and sounded like you were in a wind tunnel. Then the 86 series came out later and you had to be careful opening the door until you got used to them or you were libel to knock yourself off the ladder. I never did figure out why they hinged the doors on the wrong side -
No dealers have any inventory, new or used - auto/truck or equipment - empty lots. This situation is a lot, lot worse than you can wrap your head around. NW Georgia here.
Hello from Brantford Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.
Nice looking tractor, but you never know 👍👍
Thanks for all your videos. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.
It was nice meeting you as well as Ron and Budman at the auction.
Same to you! Were you the fellow with the Edgewood locker hat?
I take the Amizh to many auctions . I get some deals on small stuff. Some auctions the food is the best part. We nearly froze on Saturday. My customer bought a horse drawn ice plow for cutting ice.
You could let air outta the tires to make it fit too...lol 😆
A person should expect to have to do repairs for items purchased at an auction. If the tractor meets your needs, plan on the repairs and make an offer. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing God bless Happy Thanksgiving hope you and your family have a great one
My dad and I arrived a little late at a farm auction. They were working on the jewellery wagon. I vouldn't get close enough to get a good look, when the wagon went up for sale. I bought it cheap! When I hooked up to tow it home I found out why i thg went cheap. It was a Model T frame and the wheels did not match. Lug nut holes had been drilled wherever. Going down the road it rolled like a vlown wagon. Had to stay below 15 miles an hour or it would have shaken itself apart.
Great video Carl
Pitty you couldnt ship that Red tractor out to South Australia , I love old red Inters !
You are rite on ,it would be a great hay tractor.
Man I long for the days when hp was calculated at the drawbar instead of today’s Pto hp tractors!
Hello from Oklahoma. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Green combines put more corn out the rear that any case
I’m from Derry in Ireland I worked to a big farmer for nineteen yrs
We have one my grandpa bought in 1976 to put on a vermeer tiling machine he rigid it up so that you could pretty well drive it from the outside from the back we still own it ran everything from planting tractor to tillage and then mainly ran the feed grinder anymore just runs the grain vac and auger I believe it has well over 10,000 hours no major issue
The old iH isn't new any more so things are going to show some wear but having said that I'd take that red tractor any day of the week over a green one because once you had the best forget the rest or if it ain't red leave in the shed we only run red equipment here that's the way it's been since 1956 is it perfect no but it still better then the that green stuff.
Hi, just came across your channel and like the format and presentation you deliver, live to see these huge auctions and all the interesting farm machinery and especially the older tractors that we probably don't see here in the uk.
I would imagine all those faults you flagged up on the International tractor could be put right for little money, so if it was cheap enough might be worth a punt. Interesting Christmas present perhaps.
The red ones are the best.
the linkage would be a easy fix , but the best thing is none of the electric computer stuff she would go on for years , i expect it would be great for summer hay work and last a long time
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Always enjoy your videos.....
Hello Mr.Carl, thx 4 bringing us w/ U today. Nice to see your Daughter hanging out w/ Dad, always love it when mine does. I think maybe I heard you wrong though, combines are really Silver. :-) Is that a 1065A gear under Ur new kicker rack? Good luck w/ repairing the bearings & seal, good time to check all four hubs. God Bless & please farm safely.
