Old Tractor Thoughts

Mornin' Guys,

Just setting here waiting for the darned sun to come up so I can get back out and play in the dirt. :>)

Finally got this old gasser and the grain drill/harrow in the field yesterday; only hit one wet spot and I consider that a pretty darned good day.

Was surprised how hard a gasser can actually pull; didn't realize they had quite that much "umph" to 'em and I really, really like the infinite speed control of the hydro.

However, two things I don't like. Man! Can that rascal ever drink the fuel! After being around the diesels since forever, this thing was kind of a shocker. Reminds me of the days when we used to farm with the Hs and Ms.

Secondly, is that darned 806 front end. It is just flat wrong for this sized tractor and doesn't turn on a dime like it should. I've either got to find the correct front end or it's nothing but a loader tractor. Just shouldn't have to brake so darned hard to make a simple 90 degree turn. :>(

Sure like the way it sounds when its working hard tho.

Allan
