Just checked - B night was last night, so I "think" C might be right?

Have fun (or Pun).
 
She might get to run an Oliver this year and let the wife use her JD A?

Hopefully my -10* antifreeze held to -14* this winter!
 
This is Larry's wife- he just called to say he is going to be late tonight. He is not near the computer. He will be on it as soon as he gets home C you later
 
One Ringy Dingy,
Two Ringy Dingy,

Hello, This is Larry - Please leave a message at the sound of the harmonica C (beep).
 
Car, Race car. My first win. Racing came natural as I always turned left while plowing.

They're food - but shown while they're around.

He was a paticularly crazy one - but the kids work with them so much that they're usually all very tame.

Kruser,I Thought I was posting here ,with modern ,but it became a seperate post by mistake,cant get the hang of modern replys .So look up.....
 
Here is my good ole C. 1949, all original, as good as it gets! (now has a C-294 belly plow on it)

This is probably my favorite tractor. You have the power of all 19 horses at your fingers, it shifts perfect, and it feels like you are ridin down the road in a 59 Cadillac, smooth as mommas milk shakes.... :)

By the way, it'll smoke my JD B any day of the week, just had to say it... :p Bryce

Don't forget to tell them that the engine lays on it's side under the floor of the car. Neat system. Bud built a boatload of them and there are still quite a few running. Jeffcat
 
Kerry50; first off, congrats on the Century Farm recognition! Looks like your brother can take the wrinkles out of his bibs!! Now get out and save that Allis Chalmers corn picker from box elders and weather.
 
The 953 doing a hand stand looks familiar, I had it happen with a 977L on a job site, no amateur operator though, just happened to be some underground void, old tank or who knows, it gave way just as I was getting the bucket teeth over the sideboards of the tandem mack dump. Bucket was full, and now hung up on the dump body. Old DM steel nose mack, luckily one of ours. Now the drawbar was not as high as that 953 is, but you could walk under it, wish I had a photo, the entire jobsite stopped, including all the building trades, just to watch. (multi story addition to a private school outside Morristown NJ)

There was an operator on the 225 excavator on the top side backfilling a retaining wall, he swooped down like superman, in almost a panic, was comical, he got in the truck, but did not know how to run it. LOL ! So I got into this situation, I had to get out of it, just unbeknownst to me, what had collapsed underneath. I just got the bucket up high to load the truck, I looked it over and decided what I had to do.

I crept back on the front idlers, curled the bucket back as far as it would go, wriggled it over the side boards, and now was pinned against the truck, but I could slowly move backwards and ride the bucket down along the dump body, a few minor scratches. When the teeth got to the bottom of the dump body, they cleared, but once on the tires, they were squashing rubber, so a little more maneuvering, before you know it, the teeth just rode the tire sidewall, no damage to truck or 977, back end was on the ground again, show was over, will never forget that one.
 
Billy, this was a greenhorn who didn't know what he was doing. He was packing those boulders around with the bucket all the way up. Hit a hole and down she went. Sounds like you were lucky to have the Mack under you to catch ya.
 
LOL Al @ taking the wrinkles out of his bibs. Will share that with him and he will get a kick out of it.
In the picture you see a log building, this was great great grandpa's corn crib and there was a small side shed. Up on the hill you can see the house. The fireplace is part of the original house. He was a "Justice of the Peace" and folks from around the community were married there.

WOW! HGR. Most of those got called back in and got steel tracks installed. The rubber for the tracks just wasn't what it is today.
 
So that is original! I was wondering. Never saw one before. Neat! Don't you suppose with all the rubber tracks today you could find something modern to go on there?
 
Because this is what "All Original" means to me. I spent $3200 to make this tractor perfect, in my opinion. I didn't convert it to 12v, or hang an alternator off the side of it. I didn't put a new comfy seat on it, or anything else that didn't belong on the tractor.
I CUSTOM MADE sleeves for the engine because I didn't want to buy the Super C engine kit, so it IS a C engine.
I worked my a$$ of to make sure that this tractor is exactly how it came from factor, and to ME, that is "All Original" Bryce
 
Not good, really odd that a person would pick then carry with the bucket high like that, learned didn't they, hopefully it was shut down, I forget how the oil pick up is in these, I assume its designed for sharp angles, but.... this is excess. if that had been open station and no windshield, he'd have been tossed for sure. I saw a foreman early one morning kiss the stack of a 850 JD, just going over a small berm, one does have to use a little care with these LOL !

Your photo totally reminded me of what happened. 21 years ago too. DM Macks were tough trucks, but it was the body and I just came to rest on it, was loading myself, ole #8 too, I have a photo of that truck somewhere. Funny how when it let loose, just as I go over the sideboards. I did not even flinch, but was like what in the heck was that ? I just had to walk under the draw bar, when could you ever do that again ? Sure wish I had a photo. Boss did not find out, but maybe he did, but he'd have said go back up there, put the seatbelt on, and get er out, which I did anyway. The GC's super really liked me on that job, he had me do all the delicate work around utilities when I was on the backhoe, called my boss and always asked for me, to me that was the highest compliment an operator could get, I really appreciated it. I somehow left a key for the 977L, so on a particular saturday, that super could take his son for a quick ride on the 977L, would have liked to see the expression on the boys face, boy did I like riding along when I was a kid too. I said just don't stand er on end LOL !
 
Those clevises weren't used much, were they? The two I have were worn halfway through the back curved part. One came with a JD #51 1-16" plow and the other one came with a JD #52 2-12" plow.

Hi Stan! How ya been? I've probably had and sold 10 or so of these. There's 3 different styles. G675A is the latest and largest style,will bring in range of $50 - $85. Then the older narrow one like pictured , D834A, which came with the #4B series plows and others of that era, go for about $75-$100 and then there is an even earlier version of that one that I've only seen 2 of that will bring #150 if good shape. I've bid on both of them I've seen but to no avail. I pay retail for nothing. Take care , Stan, and have a good spring/summer. Randy B.
 
Randy,

Good to hear from you, too. The two clevises I had (sent them to my brother along with my '41 B) were used behind our '43 'B'. The smaller one was used with the No. 51 plow until we got the tractor updated after the war and the larger one was used with the No. 52 plow, probably until we got our '52 "B" in abour 1955.

I have lots of hours on that tractor and those plows.
