Busy Sunday

Got up ate a stack of pancakes, had 3
hours until church. We have a cub in the
lean to that needs a new input shaft in
transmission. We have a parts cub so we
pulled the shaft out of it and
discovered it was worn badly on pto end.
Got the Ford 960 and pulled the yard art
cub down to the barn. Took the floor pan
and seat off for another cub, then split
the tractor to get input shaft out. It
was a good one! Then we put the yard
art tractor back together. Moved the 841
out of the barn and put the 641 ford in.
I had replaced the hydraulic top cover
the other day and we must have pinched
an o ring,it was leaking. Pulled the
seat off, pulled top cover, realized it
was time to shower and head to church.
Got home ate lunch, put ford back
together. Drove it around a bit, no
leaks. Pulled the cub needing repairs
around to the barn. Removed sickle
mower. Got tractor inside and got it
split. Found the front and back
transmission bearings were terribly wore
out as was end of shaft that couples to
pto. Front bearing is easy to find, back
one took some hunting. Found one and
O'Reilly's will have it in today. In the
middle of all that we had a guy come buy
the Ford 641. And a couple we sold a cub
to stopped by to visit and tell us that
they knew a guy with 2 cubs and
equipment for sale! Fun day! Gotta start
a fence install this morning,50 miles
away. Should take 2-3 days. Maybe we can
get that cub back together in the
evenings........

Amazing....that's all I got to say....

I'll submit that once a guy learns the inside outs of a tractor life becomes easier, but you and your lovely bring it to a whole higher level.

I'm already tired, just from your description...

Is the 641 Ford the one of two Fords you had since the tractor/Cub odyssey started?

If they ever race cubs at Indy, you could be a pit crew. I was almost late for church yesterday morning and I did nothing. lol

I still think you need the overhead I beam and chain hoists of a trolley system

And a concrete shop floor too. Then they would really be all set up to do business, but they do pretty good now with what they got.

My shop doesn't have concrete floor and at times I'm glad it doesn't. To hard on bad back and knees

I got wore out just reading about it.

My shop has concrete floor, but I sit on stools when I can to work on stuff.
Seen to many people ruin their backs and knees working on concrete all the time.

Bill, 641 is one we picked up a few months ago, had a hole in block and someone tried to put a jubilee motor on it. Got both tractors in pieces...... Got a motor for 641 and still have to get jubilee back together.
