Late last night, stalk shredder musta thrown a spring, this allowed the belt on one end to walk around and shredded the belt.
So need a spring and belt Monday.
Unhooked, and hooked on the Soil Saver to work up a small field today.
One of the hyd cylinders was leaking down on my Glencoe Soil Saver, well it didnt work at all today, went up once and just stayed down after that. So, rigged up a quick connect and put in a regular hyd cylinder to get by. But no, worked once and then stayed down. So, it must be the other cylinder, not the one I took off with the internal leak.... Fortunately both the Balzer dealer and Glencoe dealer is the same short line place so can do both in one trip....
So took a dual off, and put the plow on the tractor. And found, the plow would go up once, and then would take 10 minutes to come up in small jerks after that.
Oh boy. So its the tractor, not the hyd cylinger that is bad. Added over a gallon of hyd fluid, no improvement. Sun was getting short by then, pretty much called it a day.
Took another tractor over to the Soil Saver, and lifted right out of the ground easy. So I think I did get the bad cylinder off of it, it still needs repair, but was not -the- problem.
So, in the morning get the chopper parts, drop off the cylinder, go look for a hyd filter for the tractor and pray (its Sunday that should help?) its that simple of a fix on the TW20.
Otherwise not sure what I'll do, I don't have a backup for that tractor, its the main boss on the place, and winter is hitting us next week, lows of 10 or less pretty much will end farming for a while, maybe until spring.
I have 1/4 of a round plowed, and 3 acres of stalks chisel plowed.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
