I like how its one after another, if you keep uploading photos after you press continue, you can get them all on one post, just a heads up. Hope you have more to share, they don't get old especially when one guy has so many. Hope my shed is like this someday, it'd be like heaven.
 
Thanks for the advice ,first I,ve posted and still figuring this computer thing out,using motel wifi,much faster than our home dialup,i've got 77 pics on camera,lot of things didn't take pics of,will post more later,thought you guys that couldn't make it would enjoy them because I have always enjoyed looking at everyone elses .
 
Yeah I sure enjoy them, glad to hear you have more to share, I'll keep my eye out, got any g1350 or g1355 pictures.
 
Alan you probebly have a collection like this I'd bet, seems like your the most knowledgable guy on the MM forum, or did you work at a dealer or something, how'd you get to know these tractors so well, seems like whenever someone doesn't know what to do, wait for you to reply, you usually know what to do.
 
Oh I wish I did. Have a few MMs that I use. Thank you for the compliment, but there are ALOT of people on here that know as much and MORE than I do. Never worked at an MM dealer but did go to school for Farm Diesel Mechanics. Have worked on a few MMs over the years and got into making reproduction parts for them so I studied the manuals alot. I dont know everything....but I know enough to be dangerous.. :)
 
There are a few pretty good people on the MM forum, but when it comes down to it you are the one who when I read your post, very seldom gets corrected, and doesn't seem to matter the model you know them. What kind of parts you make? I like the MMs but my family had Oliver's back when they were new so we still have a few, and whites. Are there still quiet a few minneapolis moline parts available from agco, or mostly discontinued.
 
Well, thank you again for the compliment. Got in to making parts years ago, mid 1990s. Just made some things for my ZA that a person couldnt find anymore and a friend of mine asked if I made anything else and if I made them to sell to other people, so...I did. Then I started to find things to make that are usually broke or missing, like the 3pt top link clips, battery bolts and battery covers for the long batteries. Also have a few ideas for a couple new parts to make after I get caught up with a few of the others. I can email you a list if you like. My cousins have a couple of 1850 Olivers and a 135 White, have drove all of them in the field. I like them as well. There are alot of parts still available from agco, some you would expect to be available that arent and some you wouldnt think would be, are. When I ordered some air cleaner hoses for my M670, the top one was available but not the bottom...a person needs both to run the tractor but I suppose the top one "fit" something else so that is probably why it was available.
 
Alright we're in the process of restoring a 1470tk case, but the only thing the case dealer can get is the seat cushions and filters, no decal set,master cylinder cables I was suprised, been pestering a guy on a g1355 for awhile haven't seemed to get it bought yet its got a scored piston and locked up missing infection pump. You can email me my email should be open, like to see what you all make, don't think I need anything, but at least when I do need something and I know you make it then I can let you know.
 
Have you posted on the Case forum to see if anyone has a place to get decals for the 1470tk? Are they a special decal that were different than the regular 70 series? Did you posted on here about the G1355 a while back? Sometimes prices are high on something that doesnt run, but if there arent many around any more sometimes a person doesnt have much choice....if somehow affordable. It always comes down to that..just as long as something fairly rare doesnt end up scrapped.
 
We found decals and parts at elmersrepair.com, as for the g1355 its been sitting for 15-20 years and yes I've posted on it before, I keep in touch with the guy think me and my brother are gonna go visit him again this fall and try and buy it like we did with the 1470. Don't think it will get scrapped, but I'd be pretty upset if it did, he only lives 5 miles from me so I keep a close eye on it, he has a few 2-150s sitting that don't run either, and his brother has a 1155 Massey a 1955 Oliver a 7000 series allis a 2-155 white and more, looks like a salvage yard, there parked all over in no order, they also have a g1000 and m670 I wouldn't mind buying that still run and they use, but they probebly won't sell them tell something happens then they'll get Parked to.

Here's my brother and mines 1470, it sat for seven years but it runs, had a cab but we took it off.

Here's our 2-155 my dad and I restored last year, figured you might wanna see it since you said your cousins got one. Bought it from our neighbor who bought it new, been around here all its life and don't think it will ever leave.

Very nice looking....I think my cousins 135 is a 1978 model. Thanks for posting the picture.
 
That is one awesome looking beast from that angle....Looks nice. I think it might have came later but did they have crab steering on the 1470s or how do they steer? Sounds like the guy with the 1355 has a few "nice" ones around. Places that look like a junk yard are the most fun to look at arent they? Never know what you will find there....
 
Yeah, it has crab steer, and were that g1355 is, it is basically a salvage yard, things are scattered everywhere, along with gleaner combines, think there is a old mustang and firebird out in the weeds to along with old grain trucks and who knows what else, I will try to take a picture of it if the next time I'm there, might be a few months, hope I can get him to sell a 2-150 to because I know the 1355 will need a ingection pump, for sure, and if a 2-150 motor is good I'd just swap them because I think the g1355 has a internal pump and the 2-150 would be the external.
 
My neighbor just restored a 1470 and he wound up with an extra set of decals for it if you are interested. I guess he bought a set and his son also bought a set for it.
 
Are they the original ones or gold ones, haven't decided on what were painting it, original or black knight, what does he want for them, elmersrepair.com has a complete set for 105.00, are the hood and sides only or does it have the ones for around the shifter and hydraulic and 3pt lever, might be interested, gotta make sure my brother didnt order one already, lol then we'd have two.
 
He does not have decals around shifter. He had those made at our local sign shop. They might still have pattern if interested. He said $75 plus shipping for decals he does have. Let me know if interested.
 
Alright, if i decide i want thEm i will let you know, gotta make sure we're not gonna make it a black knight first, were still undecided.
