New battery in the 1066. Ready for spring tillage.

Sounds good , your ready to go now

Still need to make a hold-down for the battery.

It needs a trip to the IH mechanic, to get the shift linkages fixed back up. I can usually shift it fairly well, but my cousins tend to try to force it into gears, and bad things happen to these transmissions when you shift them wrong.

Yeah know what you mean , got some polish workers here on the farm
And there rough on gear and I keep on with them

The 66’s are some of the toughest tractors ever built.

Yep. They're one of the last true 'draft tractors'. No need to power shift, when you have enough horsepower to just ride it out. The T/A is good too, so there's always that little bit more when it gets real heavy.

Really wish I’d have kept this one.

No

Will it ever dry out?

Yes. It would be nice if it would spread it out a little.

Did a little work on the sprayer the other day. We picked it up from a auction a few years ago and it has been needing some boom repair.

It’s been raining every Other day and we can’t get in the fields... So I replaced some of the ugliest repair work.

There’s still more to go... there’s always more to repair.

Is there anything Unistrut can't fix?

True dat. Use what you got!

 

[Mastermind]

Gonna start cutting hay Monday. Anyone else ready?

 

[concretegrazer]

Some of the fields are ready. Not all of the fleet is. I could run if it wouldn't rain every other day.
