Took a little trip

SVcummins · May 17, 2020

Just got home from picking up the 3020 and dozer . Stopped by a friends house and looked some tractors

Aluminum rim leak update the bead sealer the shop put on fixed the leak they went low one time after the initial repair about 2 months ago checked them today and to my surprise they still had 85 psi

He collects all kinds of things but the tractors are what I like the best

Those are neat collectables, one of them looks like a telegraph sending machine, if it is .is the other one a telegraph receiver?

SVcummins · May 17, 2020

Ones the sender the other Is the receiver I thought that was pretty neat

Them darned Ford spindles. I had a 8600 with the same problem when I was farmin? the sand box!

That G certainly was loved!

the key and receiver look like they were land based telegraph operations, anyone using them for show and tell?
When morse code was officially declared as redundant on the ships, it was a big void to not hear the operator in rhythm when sending and how he could talk and listen to the chatter of the receiver/and knew who was sending by their style.
You had a good day for sure.

The first 2 JD tractor pictures, when was that model made and is it supposed to be an A or B? I have one I figure my folks got me before I knew anything about time and I am 76 now. And the Fordson with mounted picker, a friend has a restored unit.

Leroy,

Both a model A . Consecutive years but the drivers are different and the air cleaner pipes and exhaust stack are a little different . I have both and I had them professionally restored.

Wonder where the "bridge style" farmhand that bent the front pipe on the JD A went. That's exactly what I remember the neighbors JD A looked like with a bridge style farm hand on it. The bridge hit the pipe while pushing hay with it & bent the front pipe just like that.

My TW20 looked just like that one in your picture, only it was the other side the front wheel fell off.

Wife was driving it, she did really good to only wreck the steps on that side, got it stopped before it did anything else, was making a turn field cultivating.

I looked it over, on the far far side of the farm of course, jacked it up and wedged a metal bar in the bolster and drove it home slowly on three wheels. Much easier to get the axle and steering and all apart near the tools and electricity.

You brought back memories of about 5 years ago.

The first one is aluminum and the other made of what the newer tractors are made of

SVcummins · May 17, 2020

The guy I drilled the field for came up to the truck just as I was getting ready to leave and gave me a 100$ bill he said when people do a good job they deserve a little extra sure made my day

Leroy · May 17, 2020

So what year would they have been made?

SVcummins · May 18, 2020

Did the wheel break or the spindle ?

SVcummins · May 18, 2020

Maybe someone did that so it would look like real life

SVcummins · May 18, 2020

1945 for the first one I think ! I?ll have to get my books out and see

SVcummins · May 18, 2020

SVcummins · May 18, 2020

SVcummins · May 18, 2020

I don?t know mush about these things but pretty neat to see one . I?d like to help him make it work Again

Now that is a special person. Hard to find a person like that. Enough said. Paul

Leroy · May 18, 2020

The pictures I am talking about are of the model with yellow wheels, not the dark wheel. They look to be left and right side of same tractor, same bent muffler and they look to have enclosed flywheel and underseat battery box same as mine look like and in both pictures the head of driver looks to be broken off. So what I though I could see looks like the pressed frame tractors that came out in late 47 to 52. And late 47 I would have been 4 years old. Have not loked that close at the black wheel model.
