Any of you add any old tractors, engines etc this summer?

JOCCO · Jul 17, 2019

Well? For me its been a few old engines (make brake type) I have came across or they came to me, I guess. No tractors or implements but did get a couple I had in service.

Joneil · Jul 17, 2019

I need to make a list of what I want and can justify owning. Antique tractors are cheap in my area. Or I should work on the ones I have.

I added a 1964 Massey Ferguson 65 diesel to my barn this summer, albeit bittersweet. My older sister did not want my brother-in-law on it anymore. He is a great guy, and I hate to see him like he is. he says if they try to move him to town, he will leave kicking and screaming. I believe him. I think he put gasoline in it, blew out the dipstick. He is 85 years old, hope I get the tractor running again before he doesn't remember it. Life is so unfair, the man has taught me alot.

Added 3 Ford Ns. An Allis B. And a wrecked Massey Ferguson 35. Got 2 projects done. A 2N and a different Allis B.

I bought a non-running MF 35 gas for $600. Didn't take long to get it running. Then I discovered the hydraulic system was a mess. I started putting the back end together today. I have probably spent another $1000 on parts so far.

I picked up an old Ford flair mower free for the hauling. I changed the gear box oil but found that it didn't even need it. The grease fittings were full too. I tried it out and found that even though it works very well, the roller that governs how low it cuts needs a new bearing holder at one end. It would make a good mower for a golf course fairway.

A bale loader and a dump truck

Destroked 450 · Jul 17, 2019

A couple of project tractors.
Well not really old!

Oldest is a 75 Ford 6600 row crop that had a electrical fire, looks worse than it is.
Have it setting beside the 74 Ford 5000 project tractor I bought last year.

Newer is a 2004 Montana Limited/Farmtrac 555 with quick attach loader.
Picked it up cheap for the loader but have a NH 192 engine that will bolt right on, thinking now I'm going to fix it.
No photos, must have deleted them.

A leroi and a B john deere.

grayrider · Jul 17, 2019

Have bought three in the last month of so, the John Deere 60 is currently being worked on. The JD A could be a future project or trading material and the DB 990 is just to flip for a little profit.

JOCCO · Jul 17, 2019

Nice I remember you having them on here.

Northvale PA · Jul 17, 2019

I have too many minor equipment repairs on my list, but I bought a ?59 MF TO-35 last fall. It needed the steering lower thrust bearing replaced and all fluids drained and flushed and replaced. I found 2 mouse nests cleverly hidden to cause major problems. I replaced the light bulbs and light wires. It will need the 3 pt lift seals replaced as they won?t stay up at all. But it starts and runs smooth. I am happy with the price and what it took to get it farm ready. Now to think about a paint job, new front grille, new rear fenders......

David G · Jul 17, 2019

No, I am culling the herd, hope to get rid of two this summer.

olgentdc · Jul 17, 2019

Another 430 Case with the 188 diesel came wandering up the drive ,,. It needs power steering seals on one cyl.,.real nice tractor

MSD · Jul 17, 2019

One G JD showed up yesterday and 6 more this morning.

jon f mn · Jul 17, 2019

Not adding anything this year, but getting a bunch working. Put a new engine in my 400, worked on the 830 some, new fuel pump and water pump in the 1030, new water pump in the DC, rebuilt my disc and corn planter all this spring. Fixed one of my wagons, which I promptly wrecked, so that needs work again. Working on the swather and combine now. If I have time my elevator needs work and I may work on the corn pickers for ear corn this fall. If I get anything to harvest the 830 will get a rebuilt engine and com this winter and the 400 needs a throw out bearing carrier. The 1030 needs tires too. So not likely to be any additions this year.

RBnWA · Jul 17, 2019

A 49 model oliver 77 jumped on my trailer back in may. So I unloaded it the same day here at home. Don t know when I ll get it running. RB

You are as bad as me!! They show up in bunches in Bama!

Dopp Creek · Jul 18, 2019

Just picked up an Allis CA with four implements for 500. Fresh gas and a coil and it runs great. Needed a new rear tire and I?m patching the rim. Very pleased.

JOCCO · Jul 18, 2019

Spin out rims for ca are very expensive. Tires can be had on ebay at a fair price.

JOCCO · Jul 18, 2019

Six jd g? I have one and that is enough!!

Brendon-KS · Jul 18, 2019

Bought this a few weeks ago which fulfills a 30+ year desire. Haven't gotten it home yet but hopefully that will happen soon.

Billy NY · Jul 18, 2019

Here's a 3 point hitch for one of those.
Case 3 Pt Hitch

xrcr · Jul 18, 2019

50 Cub needs a lot of TLC

gotmyfarm! · Jul 18, 2019

Brendon-KS, congratulations on getting this, since you've wanted one for so long! I have never seen one of these and had to look it up. The Unimog! A funny name, and looks like a great machine. Really neat.

Mike M · Jul 18, 2019

Unimog I have heard of. I had no Idea Case sold them. That is really neat. That 3 pt would be good to add.

Mike M · Jul 18, 2019

What is a make and brake type ? Is that what most call a hit and miss ?

I have not went out of my way to find anything to buy for several years. Lack of extra money is a large part of that. I also have too many and can barely walk around in the buildings as is.
I would buy something if I found a deal too good to resist ,but everything seems to be pretty high prices and not reselling very good either ?

redih55 · Jul 18, 2019

Picked up 3 tractors in the last 4 months. Went to Stanley, North Dakota and picked up an IH 684 with a Farmhand 233 loader-Has only 4900 hrs on it and looks well cared for. Loader has no welds on it what so ever. Also picked up a 1951 IH M from the local agricultural research center near me. Needs a tune up and they converted it to 12 volt. Cut the hood for an alternator. Irks me when someone does that. Last one I got is an IH 660 from an auction down in Brush, Colorado. Has some missing sheet metal and the engine is stuck, but other wise is in pretty decent shape.

Brendon-KS · Jul 18, 2019

That is a neat looking hitch. However, even though the Unimog I bought is a Case-branded machine it has a regular Unimog 406 rear sub-frame and bed. The "Case Deck" that these trucks originally came with was made by Case (or maybe a sub-contractor) specifically to mount the Case backhoes and other implements. The hitch in your link is designed to mount to the heavy hooks that this deck was equipped with. One of the things that attracted me to this Unimog was that although it is a Case it has the regular Unimog 3-way tipping rear bed. About the only way it differs from a Mercedes-branded 406 is the imperial units on the gauges instead of metric and no air brake connections for a trailer. It has the 20-speed transmission, 540/1000 PTO's on both ends, and the double clutch.

Any of you add any old tractors, engines etc this summer?
