Very interesting!. What are your main crops? I notice you have a collection of disk and roll over plows. Are they common out there? Only the second A-C plow I have seen with slat bottoms!

I do custom work, so I like to have a variety of equipment. I also collect AC stuff. Some of these items have been sold, the 4 bottom AC trip plow and rollover slat went back east earlier this year.
 
Great collection! That may be the only snap-coupler wood splitter in existence. I had an AC hay rake like that when I was haying- it would also ted the hay, but it broke a lot of teeth doing that, so I didn't use it for tedding very much. And a side-slinger AC manure spreader- it was said that the dealers would stand behind their spreaders, and challenged others to do the same with theirs.
 
You MUST downsize? Says who? I can see selling off your stuff if there was absolutely no hope of you getting better. According to your post about recent test results, you are improving. When you do feel like doing things again, you won't have those things to do, or anywhere you can do them if you sell off the farm and all your equipment. Don't do it!

My father had an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer in 1999, at age 60. Surgery removed it, but no one knew enough about it to say whether it would come back or not. All they could tell him was that if it did, he would not survive. At his insistence,he underwent seven months of extremely rough chemo, just as a precaution. He never considered not surviving, and the only time he missed from work was the days he had chemo. Eighteen years later, he is still working six days a week. He says Popif he slows down, "something might catch up with him!" He said he can't retire (even though he's slowing down, he won't admit it), because he still has things to do!

His oncologist is still amazed at his recovery, and says he is the only survivor of that type of cancer he has ever seen. He turns 79 next month.

Your work ethic is a lot like his. You need to keep busy. My advice to you is to tell anyone who says you MUST slow down "NO!" Then stick to your guns!

Keep looking up, get well soon, and then get back to doing the things YOU want to do! Good luck!
 
Gee, maybe if you'd have bought JD and CaseIH stuff you wouldn't need so many duplicates to get the job done :wink: :wink: :lol: !

Great pictures!

Eldon, sir:

First picture. I have one of those things, just recently purchased. Learning how to use it. I have 4 discs which makes it very long and
setup leveling is a must.

Would you have some pictures showing what you do with yours. I'd really appreciate it.

For the size of the discs, like 30" on mine and 4 of them, I'm running 16.9x 28 rears on a 6' max width tire spacing and the thing just plows
between the tires....aka very narrow path of soil disturbance and no tire track coverage.

Thanks,
Mark
 

Nice selection of Snap Coupler implements. We had a WD back on the farm and I always thought that coupler was much easier to hook up and release than the standard 3 pt. hitch. Thanks for sharing.
 
The roll-over AC plows would make a fellow DOUBLE check the quick hitch . Would be no second chance for the operator if a malfunction occurred!!!!!!!!!
 
Eldon I did not see a semi mounted plow for one of the 190, have you ever had one. They pull easy and do a great job. Also is that a new Land Pride rotary cutter, Great cutter but that little adjustment bar in the back wheel needs to be heavier. Don,t know how many I have had to replace.
 
Grew up using one of those AC silage blowers. Filled two silos every year for 25 years. When you scrap out one of those save the counter balance weight. They are great if
you need some extra weight.But lordy are they heavy.
 
Does the silage blower have a chain or belt conveyor? Ours had the older chain. Pop bought it in the late 1940's. At the time they were the cream of the crop. Nothing really worked any better, including a lot of the early PTO driven types until the IH 56 came along.

These are my file pics of 17 years of collecting, a lot of these were sold over the years.

I used the Oliver rollover on the 190XT for awhile, but the smaller tractors were more nimble. The LP rotary mowers were what I first started doing custom bushhogging with back around 2001, I would sell them after about 400 hours and buy a new one. That was back when I only put around 100 hours on one a year....this year I put 400 hours on the two 8' Bushhogs. I bought the JD MX8 used right after I had bought the new Kubota Orange 6' LandPride. After using the 8', I couldn't stand to use the 6, so after a few hours it just sat for a couple of years before I sold it. I used the MX8 for 4 years and sold it for what I paid for it :D I replaced it with the BushHog 3008, which cut so much better I bought another when I found out they were discontinuing that model a couple years ago. My first one has close to 2000 hours on it now and no problems other than replacing the tires and skid plates.

It is a belt. It was used once a year to blow straw into a barn before I bought it. Shedded all its life, it still has the t!ts on the tires!

I bought one from a guy last year, it was his late father's. It was the older style pin hitch, he had it mounted to his WD45 snap coupler tractor trying to sell them together. Just the tongue was stuck in the bell! He said he had tried to find neighbor's gardens so he could try it out....I told him someone was watching over him because he would have killed himself if he had tried to plow with it...it had the non-release clamps on the lift arms also....a disaster waiting to happen.

Mark those disc plows are long gone. I tried using the first one and the tractor I had at the time was too small to pull it right. I bought the bigger one because it was cheap, flipped it and made some good $$$$ on it.
 
(quoted from post at 21:19:17 11/13/17) I must show my family your collection, have two tractors and a handful of implements,,and I must
downsize?It isn't fair! lol

Larry tell your family I said you can never have enough implements!
 
(quoted from post at 21:40:10 11/13/17) Gosh, I like that little drill. 6'?
That poor little drill was nice.....till one day I had it on the D14 and took it up to the school garden to plant some wheat. I unloaded it, put a couple bags of seed (in those woven plastic bags) in the hopper and headed across the field. I did not know that the internal cylinder for the lift had started to leak, so after I heard a noise I looked back and the drill had dropped enough that the drive wheel had made contact with the ground and started to turn. Well, the seed cups in the dill are basically fingers, and they grabbed the plastic from the bags and started wrapping the plastic around the fingers until it balled up and split 3 o 4 of the seed cups wide open. What a sickening feeling. I bought a parts drill a few years ago, but still haven't taken the time to pull everything apart to fix. It is the only small Allcrop drill I have seen with the optional wheel kit on it....most were mounted only and drove off the rear tractor wheel.
 
spent a lot of time on a WD45 with 3 bottom snap coupler plow.

did not know they made a snap coupler roll-over plow.

neighbor had a snap coupler rear blade just like that without the extensions.

Growing up in SD I had never seen a rollover plow either, but they are fairly common out here in irrigation country. I think I have bought 6 or 7 of those blades, I am down to 4 now.
 
I noticed that the blower had the wagon drive attachment, for pulling the load back in false front wagons. Rather uncommon option. Agreed on the blower- AC pioneered the cupped blower paddles...that, plus the reverse tines gauging infeed is why they were hard to plug up.
 
Do you ever see any Sheppard Diesel equipment around? There was a dealer in Spokane years ago,I have an SD-4 Sheppard tractor that was sold new there.

I've seen one (and I think he said he sold one to someone back east) and knew another guy that used to have one...but I think they are rare around here.
 
Note that you have shown several 170/175. I have always suspected the 175 may have been about the best all around tractor ever
made by AC. What's your opinion?

I agree, have owned 9 over the years, still have 6. I prefer the diesels. I have owned two newer Deeres w/ cabs in the last 2 years and neither one could perform like that one I have the BushHog on. The hi/low power shift has to be one of the most trouble free out there.
 
Yeah,I'm probably the fellow back east,Md.The fellow I bought it from is a big wheat farmer in Davenport,Wa,forget his name,has an amazing collection of everything,esp. John Deere.He also collects cars,toys,tractors,and airplanes.

That's the guy, it's been over
10 years since I was out there. Search Davenport WA wheat harvest on utube, you might see him.

I see you have a A/C square baler.
You wouldn't happen to have a set of needles for a
303 A/C baler?
Long story!!
Jon
 
That's a 3 bottom. Mine is a 4 bottom. Mines a 3 pt....can't tell what yours is. Question is, how do you set it up and how do you use it? I've wanted one for 30 years and finally found one. Now I need to learn how to use it. Neighbor had a 2 bottom behind a B JD as I recall and used it all the time....but I didn't pick up on the particulars at the time....don't even remember if it was 3 pt or if the B even had 3 pt.

Pictures would be........."worth a thousand words".
Thanks,
Mark
 
That's him.If you ever have a chance to see his collection,do it,amazing.Been a long time since I visited and bought the tractor,hope he is still doing well.Very energetic guy.

Yes I have a parts 303 out back, will have to check, but I think the needles are good.

Yes he is...I should stop and see if he has any AC's he wants to sell. I see thru FB he is still active with the harvest show they do out there.
