corn is going into the ground here.
neighbor said his dad planted beans all last week in the Delta.

Some folks have been planting here for the last 2 weeks, corn & beans. If we miss the forecasted rain tonight I would imagine that things will really start to take off tomorrow or Saturday.

 

[Hedgerow]

160 acres of corn in and up here..
It got snowed on, but no worse for the wear, as it was only 2” tall..
200 more to go when if the guessers are wrong about tomorrow..

I tightened the crankcase and cylinder screws first. [emoji2960]

Aftermarket top end and fuel tank. [emoji19]

Saw this on my way to visit my oldest son.
Thought it was amusing.

Save them shabby but serviceable leftover parts! [emoji6]

I’ve been digging thru my Stihl junk paring down the list of parts to make this latest 026 a whole powerhead.

Only five items left to source out of fourteen.

Morning everybody.

If this rain will stop, I might have another little Deere running today.

Can anybody use a 7.3 powerstroke?
Or a 6.8 V10 Triton?
Parts dept where my son works gave them to me. They're tired of them taking up space.
Now, they've both got something wrong with them. Supposedly the 7.3 was ran without an air filter. They said it has been "dusted". Whatever that is. It does not have the intake or turbocharger.
The V10 is an unknown. It's been sitting for so long, either the guy that knows is gone or they've totally forgotten why it was changed.
I'm not going to do anything with them but if nobody wants them, I'll scrap them.
If interested, PM me, please.

Spent the morning clearing brush and dead trees from some of our church’s property. Little Echo 2511 is a great tool for this stuff. After 15 tanks of Tru Fuel through him, it’s really surprising what 25cc can do.

Progress came to a halt on the mutt 026. Seems the .325” x 8 tooth makes the chain too tight for the engine to move it. [emoji90]

I may try to elongate the bar dog hole a bit.[emoji848]

026 top cover don’t clear the cylinder fins on a MS260 cylinder. [emoji37]

So we have a top cover, two rim drive drum kits and a clutch cover on order.

I went by Russell's shop in Monett for a visit the other day.
There are more chainsaws and mowers there than I've ever seen in one place so I'd say that business is very good.

I don't have possession yet. But they've been promised to me. Probably pick them up in the next couple of weeks. In talking with my son, I might keep the V10. We'll see.
