I’m taking the 550 to Woodhull, Ill tomorrow for a ride for
cancer. I have always took a 1850 on rides, so this will be a
new experience for me.

I think I have everything, canopy, flashers, tool box, cooler,
pull strap and clevis. Just need to remember to take the
sunscreen. Not sure about hauling it with the canopy on. I
usually take it off, wondering about just collapsing it and go.

That is too nice looking to risk damage while hauling. I would suggest that only collapse it if you can seurely tie it down. Even then, will it beat down a portion of that finish?
Be safe, have fun.

I would take it off for transporting, that's a nice sunshade!

That is a good looking shade on a good looking tractor. I agree with them, I would either fold it down or remove it to haul it. Have a good time and be safe.

Guess what this old retired MF mechanic sees in the first photo

We’re doing one here in Decatur/Macon County for FFA. First time I’ve gone on this one. Don’t normally ride on Sunday because of church but basically all of August is canceled as far as shows and stuff so I’m doing what I can when I can. Maybe September will be better. Good looking ride. Enjoy.

Probably the old 550 combine. I plan to pull the motor and scrap it someday.

WayneIA · Jul 18, 2020

you are right. And the 550 was not one of MFs better combines

Nice 550 and it even has power steering.....take the shade down.

"Collapsing it and go" sounds like a good way to do it, but it could so easily turn into "collapsing it and go just a little way"

The top for the pontoon boat is the same just bigger. I wrap tarp straps around it so it wont flap in the wind. I spent a winter hauling out of the MoorMans plant there in Woodhull.
