Playing with Power !!!!

DRIVERS WANTED.....

I cant run them both by myself at the same time.....

Problem is don't know if them boys could find there way back to FLA!! Plus for some of them their folks might get kinda worried :)

That is some brute power in them pics! Thanks for sharing er, as Myron said drooling.

Still in the weeds. . .

I am planning on putting the duels on the Moline this weekend and see if that helps my tracton issues any. Those rice tires are neat, but when they start spinnin you better still be moving foward or they will dig to china. I will have to take some pictures of that too.....

Lets see I can depreciate the tractors, not sure I can do that with the operator. I guess you could be a dependent but you would have to change your name. I just dont think I am going to be able to expense you off my taxes too easily.....

As to the taxes I looked at that angle as well. Not much wiggle room.
Grins from here.

Tell you what, we were working dirt with them two in the same field and you could almost feel the noise coming off of them when they were close. You go to sleep at night and can still hear them working.

I need to get to work on that cab I got from ya, winter is coming and I havent gotten very far with that project. Im thinking of putting it on the 2150 now, not sure yet.

Sure you can!

I think that JD came from Montana and hauled grain trains.

Hmmmmm sounds like a shop project..... ...

I did have my two hooked togeather this sping, we had a simi with 900 bu of corn get stuck and the 2150 Oliver couldnt get enough traction to pull it out by itself, so the moline got put in front to help. Once we got the simi out we were unhooking and the hook in the grade 70 chan was bent where we hooked on to the Kenworth.. Oh how close to breaking a chain..... That was a lot of HP pulling on that simi for that chain to handle.
Wish I woulda had my camera for that one.....

Yeah the 55 and the 135 are about the same tractor, if I had it to do over again I would probably get a 55 or a 550 diesel instead. I really wanst looking for that massy when I got it, I kinda accidently bought it at an auction for $2,500 I think. You know how that goes....I was needing a small tractor and that was a super price and the tractor was in great shape sooooo o I ended up taking it home.

We run it in the turkey houses in the worst possible conditions you can imagine tilling up litter and all I have done to it in 10 years is change the oil and replace the air filters all the time. I did put a clutch in it once, and that two stage clutch is still not right and it is a real pain, but other than that it has been a super tractor. That little perkins diesel is just a super engine.

I guess you have to have a little varity in color. I have a 684 IH tractor too, so I do have a few that are not green or yellow, but not many :-)

How's that Mighty Moline working out for you?

I can tell I have problems on #1 cylinder though, probably some cracked rings, its down on compression on #1 and its leaking fuel?? out of the intake and exhaust gaskets on that cylinder. I figure I can get another season out of it maybe before I have to tear it down. Im definatly not replacing that engine, just updating it and rebuilding it, I kinda like that big 585ci engine. It does need a turbo though. I still need to fix the over drive too, its kinda slow going down the road.....

Sorry about the keyboard, just come on up and help me work some fields this fall and you wont have that problem..... ..

I'm afraid that getting to operate one of your fine tractors would make the drooling worse. ":^)
