Beautiful, sunny day here in Michigan

Temp about 43 degrees so I figured it would be a good day
to start the old Jubilee loader tractor up and drive it around.
Its been a couple of months since its even been started.
Started right up, ran fine, still ugly. LOL

After half an hour the breeze made it feel not so nice!
Now it's setting outside running where I can hear it and check
on it while I post this from inside the shop where its warm! ;)

The weather has been warm here the last few days, except for that cool breeze. It's more comfortable sitting in my chair close to the coal heater, so here I'll stay until spring really gets here.
 
I hear you L.Fure, I just can't stay inside when its this nice out.

I started to drive it out into the field. Glad I didn't go much further.

I really need to repaint the dash to match the hood, and it needs
a bath but here are the gauges after about a half hour of running.

This was it when I started working on it in 2012.
It was set up when I bought it, which I think was 2010.

There are other pictures of the power steering addition too.
 
Thanks mcglockin, that renders the 3 pt inop, but with one of these
smaller tractors, putting a loader on them tends to dedicate them
to that job, so it has worked well for me. Barrel weighs about 750.
Rear tires are loaded with CaCl also.
 

I try not to look around much on warm days during the winter. I see too many things I could work on, but most of these projects take more than a day to do. Tomorrows high is supposed to be in the lower thirties and cloudy. I'll just wait a little longer for real warm weather.

Looks like you have the loader tractor set up to do some real lifting. The looks of a tractor has less value than how it runs and operates. If I did own a tractor that looked like new I'd be afraid of using it in fear of putting a scratch in the paint.
 

A full barrel of 2500 PSI concrete weighs 1085 LB are what the concrete plant says... 2/3 a barrel 722 lbs close enoufh for me..

I just made 3 counter weights they are working out great!..

Dunno what the high was today I took my jacket off early, at 5:30 PM it was 64... Its 64 at 7 PM :)...
 
"2/3 a barrel 722 lbs close enoufh for me.."

Yeah, not an exact measurement. Throw in a little for the steel
uprights, the crosswise solid steel round bar that is for Cat 2
3 pt so won't fit mine, the 11 hole draw bar underneath, the chain
and binder holding it tight, tow chain on top, shovel, etc. It's close.

Dang sure glad I stopped before I got the rear wheels out into that field! :)
 

27 this morning at 8:30am with light snow falling here in Wisconsin. So much for our warm day. I imagine you will see this weather by tomorrow. Your field might have been soft on top, but I bet it's frozen solid below your wheel tracks. Without tire chains you might have had a hard time monuvering on that greasy top soil.

It looked much the same here yesterday, albeit with calm (for here) winds. No tractor running, though. I hauled a load of scrap in and got $140 for that, then went and picked up a sofa for the Pregnancy Resource Center my wife directs. Spent the rest of the day continuing my massive cleanout project in the machine shed.

Speaking of getting stuck, I made that mistake some years ago with my old '69 F-100:

Nothing ugly about that tractor! :) I like the loader. I scored a one arm loader from a neighbor a couple of weeks ago for the 961, which I'm pretty excited about. I'm not going to do anything with it until April. Having some manure and snow removal capability is going to be nice.
