I have been thinking about a few things lately. As for 1923 Gleaner’s comment about the “stuff” I have around here. I am kinda proud of it. From time to time people stop in and tell me they drive by every so often to see what I have added. I know how it is; I do the same thing myself. One of the few things I miss about my former job is not getting to pick up tractors at Ed’s farm. I like to see what he has drug in. At least we have one thing in common; we have things that someone actually wants. I have been to many places that have nothing but pure trash. Seriously, who wants 300 old refrigerators or cook stoves?
As for having the 5297 at the 2015 K&O show, I can only dream. The Charger is finally in the shop for upgrades. Anyone that thinks the 5297 is more important than the Charger – feel free to take it up with my youngest daughter. Good luck on that.
Erik Ks Farmer. I still owe you and I can use all the help I can get with this project. I am going to remove the header from the first one and bring it home. I am going to measure the back axle and make a stiff hitch to pull it with. This way it won’t run over me while going downhill. I am going to take a long set of hydraulic hoses with me and plumb them into the steering cylinder and steer it with the tractor hydraulics. When I get the first one home I will be able to improve things for the second one.
The serial number on this machine is MV 25219. Not sure what the number on the second one is. I have been saving money in anticipation of buying this combine. A new concrete slab will be poured in front of the work shop and hopefully a roof put up in the near future so I can work on it in the spring and fall.
This combine might not mean much to anyone else, but I like to think of myself as a Moline man that has saved a few things.
