Last Friday, (Good Friday) I discovered that the water pump on my Case 931 was failing. It was starting to leak and fan was wobbling, so I stopped plowing and headed for home. I called my friends at the local CNH dealer about getting a new or reman pump. They were no help at all. Told the veteran parts guy there to forget it. I called our good YT friend and Case parts supplier John Saili and he had in stock a new Case pump, a new aftermarket pump, a reman pump, and a rebuild kit for my Case pump. It is a 254 mile round trip from my home to his. The wifey and I left our home at 7:30am and drove out to John and Chris's home. We had a great chat with them, and delivered a couple of gals. of maple syrup that out family makes and headed home with the new pump and new T stats. We got home about 3:30pm. I figured Sunday that I would remove and replace the bad pump, BUT here is where plans fell apart. I had terrible abdominal pain in my left side and was running a fever. Sunday was a total washout. Monday I felt a bit better and managed to get the tractor all tore apart, before it started raining. Tractor is too tall to fit in my shop door. Tuesday I got everything back together. This morning I got the tractor hooked back on the plow and got back at plowing, but we had a lot of rain and lots of wet spots in the fields that I still need to plow. Today I had to abandon plowing in 2 fields because of wet ground. I will see what tomorrow brings.
This field is high ground , but there is a really wet and steep hill on the NW end of it and could not get enough traction to do a good job of plowing up the hill. I moved to another level field that plowed real nice. Only 8A and finished it. I tried another field but it was really wet. Even disturbed a Blue Harron brousing in it.
We had another 8A strip of bean stubble that could not be harvested, between the limestone ledges on the lower farm that will be planted to corn so I was able to plow that.
Had several Arial observers when plowing off the middle ledge field. I don't know why the double pics. showed up.--Loren

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
