Exercising some old iron

Decided the 300 and little genius needed a little exercise today. Plowed the garden down. Nice 65 degree November day.

Bet she has a nice BARK with that straight pipe..!

Bet you would also have not minded if that field were larger...!!

I took my little H out for a drive, changed oil, washed it and put it to bed for the winter.

In lower 70s here today.

What part of Ohio are you in?

Been wanting to plow my garden for over ten years but don't want to get my plow dirty so I just keep tilling it over and over and it gets harder and harder.

It's got a little bit of a bark. I do wish I had more to plow.

Several of our fields were ( and are) 1/2 mile long and flat...one round and you were one Happy Camper..watching the steady FIRE out of the exhaust ( WD-45 w/4x14")...

Or just loving hearing those JD "B"s (with straight pipes) plowing or working ground together, hearing the exhaust Barks go IN and OUT of sync..!!!

Dad's WD-45 had a straight pipe( maybe close to 4") and you could easily see when he reached the far end..there would be about a 3 Ft flame rise from the exhaust as he throttled down to turn at the field's end..!!
In those days, all we had was 2 '52 JD "B" and one WD-45 AC, so they all were working most of the time..
That was back in the late 1950's and into the 60's..
Loved to see the Muffler on my WD-45 get so hot ( RED), and with about a FOOT of Blue flame above it GLOWED in the dark...darned near bright enough to plow without the lights..!
The 2 of us could turn 50 Acres in one full day, together...THEN, ya were about satisfied running one for a while..!!
