I have cleaned a few things up this winter. Right now I have a baler in the shop and a vintage snowmobile, on top of ongoing stuff. With spring coming I have some wood processing equipment to redo and a tractor to finish. So what do you guys have?
 
i have an Oliver 1850 that I’m going to rebuild the engine. Hoping it goes well, it’s my first rebuild! My 770 is at the mechanics now with several things getting fixed. Dads sickle bar mower needs fined tuned and the square baler too.
 
I've got my corn planter torn apart and am waiting for parts now. Also putting a new engine in my 400d, that is this weekend's project. Then I'll be working on the case-o-matic in the 830 I just got. And finally my 1030 will get a water pump and some other small fixes. That should be enough to keep me busy till spring.
 
I just drug home a Ford 1841 that needs an engine swap.
Won't get the loader off until it warms up though.

I've got my Farmall 65 in the shop. Got to replace the alternator and build a canopy on the roll-over bar. Use it to rotary hoe and rake and baler. Tired of sitting in the sun. Then I'm going to bolt a grader blade on an old 3 bottom plow and use it to grade half mile drive on the neighbors place. Think that will work? That is the organic farm that I custom farm. It's just about impassable for the renters to get out that live on place and watch over the old guy that still lives there.
 
Just got in some 60H and some 60 roller chain for the baler and swather and need to overhaul the IPTO on 450 Farmall. Oh and flat tire on the D-19 and a new rear tire to mount on the F-20.
 
Extend a set of tire chains for larger tires. Looked into buying chains for the tractor. New pickumups ain't the only thing priced insanely expensive.

We'll cobble em up and make do.
 
I plan to try to melt snow every day to hope to get the farm dried out and warmed up by June to do some farming.

I have a Model T motor needing to put together. Bored .060 with a reground camshaft to go in a Speedster. Rearend has been rebuilt this winter.
 
Aside from pushing snow and, today pushing it again, I've been busy sanding, shaping and staining the jams and casements for our windows that didn't get put in last fall. I'm running out of room to set the birch while it dries. I have to pull the engine on my old truck, replace the rear main and check out the lower end. And the M. I have to get to that. Parts are all here and the front end is done so that will be to install the wide front, the power steering, the 9 speed, R and R the gauges, the wiring, a single pin alternator, the seat, rebuild one cylinder on the 3 point and replace some seals when the differential is apart.
 
Doing the brakes on my International Loadstar 1600 right now.Then cab interior for my White 2-88.Just completed clutch/ta job on my IH686.

I have a lead on an IH 404 with cab. Won't know if Tractor is still available for a few weeks. I have to wait for the mechanic who overhauled the tractor gets back from fishing with BIL in sunny and warm Florida.

If I get the 404, Ill be looking for an air conditioner.
 
Brake job Yanmar 330
Exhaust valve replacement on #4 cylinder Oliver 66
New throttle cable International 464 Industrial
Install Power beyond spool on Oliver 1550 diesel
Change rear tires on Oliver 1550 gas
Install motor in Oliver 1650 was gas will be diesel.
Hope my mechanic finishes up installing a motor in the AC D17 Series IV soon.
 
I have my ongoing 52 Chevy pickup project. This is about 5 year project. I am almost finished with the sheet metal rust repair. I want to have all of the body work finished this summer with everything in primer. Then the focus will change to doing all of the mechanical work.

I am thinking of transferring the project to my son to complete the mechanical build. I like doing sheet metal work more than wrenching. He wants to upgrade the drive train to a 5.3LS engine with a 4L60E transmission. I am sure I can figure out the computer controlled engine but he is more into that than I am.

I have another poor helpless rusted out fence row 1946 Chevy truck that is calling my name. It is a good friend of mines and he wants to sell it to me. I keep telling him I only do one project at a time and I don't buy the next one until the one I have is finished.
 
Here you go Paul ::::MELTING SNOW Snowflake

MATERIALS:

a glass cup
thermometer
snow
PROCESS:

Fill the glass up with snow.

Place the thermometer in the glass filled with snow and take the temperature.

Write down the temperature on a piece of paper.

Bring the glass inside and wait until for about 5 minutes until the snow melts.

Now, take the temperature again. What happened?

EXPLANATION:

The temperature of the snow was much colder than the temperature of the melted snow or water. Water freezes at 32 degrees. When the glass of snow was brought inside, the temperature indoors was much warmer than 32 degrees and melted the snow. This is how the melting process works!
 
Finish rebuilding my Bush Hog 105 and put the gear box I rebuilt back on it.
Get the 42 JD H tuned up and ready for tater planting.
Got tons of wood to split.
Get a couple of beehives ready for more bees.
Build a combination firewood, tractor shed.
Get my 20 inch antique corn mill out and rebuild it.
Clean out my shop.
All that will keep me busy for a couple of days. LOL

Waiting for the milk cows to go in 5 weeks then I?ll start taking down freestalls and busting down curbs to make more floor space in the old barn.
 
Put up greenhouse, finish sheetrock in food processing plant, add on to food processing plant, build wall in basement, sharpen spade, dig out shutoff valve at automatic waterer, dig trench and add 3 hydrants behind raized garden beds, shingle house, caulk roof leaks on machine shed, sell goats, clean up downed trees in the timber, put 10 pickup loads of cut and split firewood in the wood shed. My back has improved enough,a Doc says I can go back on the road, I have 5 n Ford's to pickup and haul to the scrap yard. They were given to me to haul off. Add apartment/bathroom above food processing plant, plow up 4o acres of ground and reseed, fix baler, Build 30 more bee hives, split current hives, call in dozer and have them clean out 1/3 mile of old fence, replace with woven and Barb wire. Leave for Arizona on December 26th for short vacation.
 
Got a few details to add to the Ford 5000 and get it out of the shop, then roll in the 8000 for a PTO clutch. Need to pour a 8'x 20 apron in front of the shop with a drain. I'm tired of water in the shop! I am leaving out the in-house projects like trim for windows & baseboards and lights in the living room ceiling. Feels like too much already since I still have a full-time job.
 
Working on the 44 Farmall H I bought last March. Got the bearings and seals in the transmission replaced. Working on brakes and steering now. Waiting on warm dry weather to continue painting the John Deere A. Tractor shows in my area start the 9th of March. Have to get the Case VAI ready to go. It needs a new battery, oil change and cleaning. Will have to get more storage space built so I do not play musical tractors when I need to tinker on something.
 
To get my 48 Temco Swift (airplane) back to flying status, & working on my 53 Super H while keeping it ready to use !
 
I have a Allis-Chalmers B to get running (fuel issue I think) and get rear tires back on, figure out why it has low oil pressure and decide what to do with it. A John Deere 110 lawn mower to finish restoring(first project tractor I got and ever worked on, been at it for 4 years it's time to get it done and done right) and a Deere 212 to get ready for the lawn mower pulling season (worst idea I've ever had. Not really but my wallet sure thinks it is.)
 
My main project is to get my lazy butt out of my reading chair and tackle a few (long overdue) projects in the shop. I'm going to go at it slow, mostly waiting for it to warm up. Costs too much to heat the auto portion of my shop, and don't feel like using up my firewood in the wood part. I have mastered procrastination !
 

Always sum'N going on around here...

Last December I had a couple of rentals I sold them and enjoyed not having to fudge with them... I am in the process of buying one the house was built in 1913... Its right across the street from me its a big house I would like to section it off and rent it out as storage space are find someone who needs a wood working shop are along that order... The guy that owned it passed his family split up his property its a war among them and I am gonna get in the middle cuzz one of them is selling it as a grudge... All the driveways that run to the other property's run thru it and that nice house over the top of the camper uses the septic tank for the old house... I have a couple guys coming in the next day are two to give me the salvage value of the house its full of heart pine...
The guy that passed used it as storage/office he was into those gambling machines and did well at it...
 
Working on a clutch and transmission swap in an fld120, should finish tomorrow. Then pull a wet kit and tarp control off another so it can hop a river and learn to habla espanol, and put the parts on a better truck.

Then replace the ISuXes in a pair of 388s and one set of pusher kingpins. Though I think the boss would be better off sending them to Mexico and putting the money into the fld that he is planning to send. 2 more tires, kingpins, pair of break shoes, and 1/2 lower mpg to haul within a ton of the fld daycabs.

Oh, and $55 window switches that are only used by Peterbilt, Citroen, and Peugeot.
 
And find a tailgate, replace some u joints on the boss's 99 powerstroke, and put a breakaway kit on his trailer, so I can take them to red power this summer and bring my B home with me.
 
Get my 1998.5 Dodge 3500 ClubCab 4x2 (24v 6BT) (NP4500) (330K mi) running, previous owner let it freeze up and pop a freeze plug. I put a lift pump on it and got it running and found I had an oil leak. When it froze it busted the cover over the oil cooler that the oil filter is mounted on. I bought new gaskets for the cooler and cover (and replacement cooler and cover) but misplaced the gaskets and don't want to buy them again. Then batteries and tires. But I am only into it $1500 so far.
