- The corn is all planted, which means it is time for soybeans to get in the ground. We're getting dry here in southern Michigan, so seeing where I am going to proving to be a challenge. It's a good thing that I'm solid seeding them so that the crooked rows disappear.

It started on the first crank!
Never gets old seeing you work vintage equipment that looks to be in top notch shape.
Thanks, although the 1600 is the only thing older than me. That means I'm vintage! 😂
👍👍👍👍👍
You and the big tractor power guy sound similar. You both have the tractor channels on youtube. I enjoy seeing these older tractors. Always thought white tractors look like the massey fergusons of the 1990s.
I'll take that as a compliment. Jason does a great job on his videos over there at Big Tractor Power.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris it was definitely meant as a complement and you are one hell of a tractor mechanic .
we cant' afford high test fuel anymore for the old gasers plus this is ethonal in premium today. at one time everything started instantly
Hey from the other Becky!
I like the White 2-155, tractor running and looking nice. I think that the Great Plains drill looks good and with the new knives looked like it worked good, too. Well, I hope your plantings turn out good this season, you put a lot of work in it, as I'm sure you do every year. I guess all that's left is for the rains and the warm temps to do their job. Good luck with all of the crops, I hope you have a great week.
Thanks Dan

Enjoyed this video bro, at least ya don't seam to be getting all the rain NZ has been getting since last spring and it's still raining at the moment here and a yellow storm watch in place for most areas. Safe travels
It's been really spotty in the Midwest. There are areas just getting in the field because of rain, and others that could really use some rain. The smoke from western Canadian wildfires is visible here in Michigan as a haze in the sky.
25 NZ firemen have just gone to Canada to help with the fires up there.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these interesting videos. I really appreciate your passion for using vintage equipment in your farm operation. It makes sense to look for low cost ways to improve precision for planting and seeding. I know that Ag Leader has some lower cost alternatives that provide auto-steering and planting modifications on vintage equipment. If you have not already, they may be worth checking out.
I don't know if I can swallow my pride and let the robots drive. I guess it would give me time to watch more TH-cam.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Just think, you could edit videos while in the field! :)
@@asmrhead1560 that does have merit....
What gear do you plant in?
4th direct, about 1800 engine rpm.
Love all your videos. Love those Oliver and White tractors. 😜😜
Thanks!
Really like that Great Plains drill. Not many up here, but I like the fold up style of them. I’m running john Deere 9350s. Was hard to see my seeder marks in the dust and smoke the past couple days. Hopefully rains and ends these fires around us in northern Alberta.
We're seeing the smoke over here in Michigan. The sky is always hazy and we're getting some beautiful sunsets. Hopefully you get rain soon
@@ThatOliverGuyChris thanks 🤞🌧️👍🍻
That 4-225 sure is a nice tractor
Chris, I'm curious, does your 2-155 and 2-70 have the old "vacuum" flow between the upper and lower fuel tanks with the vented lower and non vented upper cap? My 2-85 still has the old system at SN:270 and apparently there was an update that came later that switched fuel feed from the bottom tank rather than the top? Perhaps you've addressed this elsewhere and I've just missed it, but apparently lots of guys have had bugaboos with engines staying running and/or starting with top tanks empty or other scenarios. I was curious as to what you've personally experienced. I was told my grandfather had "trouble" with the lower tank when he had the 2-85 and he simply just closed the valve and stopped using it all together.
The 2-70 is just the single tank, and the 2-155 draws off the bottom tank with a single fill point at the top tank. We used to have a 2-105 that had the separate tanks, and I never had any problems. It really helps to have the top tank full. The less air space there is, the quicker it gets enough vacuum to pull fuel from the bottom tank. Personally I liked the setup, because if I was doing lighter work with it and not using a lot of fuel, I could top off the bottom tank from the ground since it drained first. If the gauge is working, it will show the top tank is getting low, even if it's not drawing from the bottom for some reason. My 2050 has fender tanks that work on the same principle, and it has a harder time getting the fuel to transfer if the main tank is half full vs full.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Good stuff, I wasn't really wanting to convert over anything since I had bought new pieces for the lower fuel tank, and I'm hopefully about to get all the other mechanical bugs out where I can operate this thing consistently. Fingers crossed it works for me as is.
Nice to see your tractor back out in the fields Chris I played with my 1855 last week plus y'all going love driving it this week I'll get the 88 out can play with it Hee-Haw
I mean I mowed my field 88 will be out on the job next week
Ahh yes the poor man’s green star we use the same system for spreading fertilizer
😂😂
.. Old School... Golden Age....!!!!
So weird how different it is down south. Corn is over knee high here in Alabama. Great work Chris. Look forward to seeing that field produce for you. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks! I talked to a friend in Texas last week, and his corn has ears on it already!
@That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey Wow!!
We just picked up a white 273 disk and man that is one fine piece of equipment
Mine sure has a lot of acres under it.
Hello
I really appreciate you taking time to video. And also tell us all about what is going on. I am curious as what you are using on your phone to help seed your beans.
Thanks Again
Bob Abbitt
It's an app called agribus. I liked it but I don't think the gps on my phone is accurate enough to make good use of it
Oh well. Thanks Anyway for your information.
Keep making those videos. 👍
Nice video!
Thank you!
TGIS morning. Great Video, as usual. You should have your hired hands working ground ahead of you. But then, equipment breakage by hired hands would keep you busy fixing things.
Yep. And even if nothing breaks, then I'll get done early enough to where I think I need more ground to farm. Then I have to hire more guys. It's a vicious cycle.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Maybe a fleet of Herman's for your hired hand to drive. If they ran one of those for 12 hours, even with earmuffs they could not hear you. Even if they drove a quiet tractor, they never hear what you were telling them and go to the wrong field.
Had you known back in the 50s there was a 4 t somthing or other white / Moline 1600. The one I seen was in Australia recovered some strange 225 Cummins.
A guy that worked at our dealership had an A4t-1600 on his farm. I think it went to Ohio after his auction.
Are those seed bags refillable or one time use? They seem like huge time savers as long as you have the equipment to handle them. Thank you for what you do, keep feeding America!
They are but they're cheap enough that no one wants them back. They have to wash them to reuse them for retail seed sales, and it costs as much to wash them as it does to get new ones. I reuse them for wheat seed, or give them away.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris wow I didn’t realize they were so stringent on sanitation. Thanks for the reply.
It's mostly about getting out any seed and seed treatment to not contaminate the next year's seed.
We had a 2-155 it was the biggest pile of crap I ever used damn thing was always breaking down
That's too bad. I really like mine.
23:09 is that a super 55 I see
Yep.
what's the specs on the green trailer in the shed seen it in videos but never have heard about it
It was custom built for a local tractor puller in 1981. 36 foot deck with 4 tail, Two 12 k axles with electric over hydraulic disc brakes. I bought it in 1998. I had it sandblasted, painted and the axles gone through in 2010, that's when it was converted to electric over hydraulic. It had been vacuum over hydraulic prior to that. Myself and couple of friends put a new white oak deck on it after I got it back from paint.
What is the app called?
It's called agribus . It was easy to use, but it needs more accuracy than my phone can provide to be useful.
I'm so much better at backing up a wagon after a few drinks...
No, really!
It relaxes your muscles.
I would rather see the 1955 on it again i think its a good looking tractor and thats coming from a ji case guy 🤣🤣🤣
I'm adding refrigerant to the 2-155 as I type this. That's why it's planting beans. 😂
Yeah, without RTK or some other high precision GPS source you really can't use it for accurate field navigation.
Chris my son and i have a 1955 and we are experiencing fuel issues. Would you be available to give us some ideas or help?
What's happening?
@That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey it will run for 3 to 4 minutes then die out. Fuel lines and filter all have been cleaned. When it dies out it slowly idels down then shuts off. If you give to restart it will restart right away.
Could it be the injection pump?
@@bige3473 it's probably the injection pump. There a governor ring inside there that is made of plastic. When it gets old and brittle, pieces break off and get stuck in the valve that is on top of the pump, going to the return. The junk blocks the return and builds up too much pressure inside the pump, causing it to die. The pressure bleeds off and you can start it again until the pressure builds up again. You can screw that fitting out of the too of the pump and try to clean it. That might get you running if you're trying to get something done, but it needs to be rebuilt or more pieces will get in that fitting again.
@That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey I will check that out. Thanks a bunch Chris. We really enjoy your videos.
