Whew!

Got this old dog drug home. Gots to replace one shank, but other than that it looks good; all bearings in good shape. Glad that chore is over.

However, for the age on these things I still think that they are wayyyyy y overpriced!

Tain't none of my business, but what are you going to do with that hay you have stacked up in your second pic?

Looks like you are going to suffer a 50% loss at least if you are gonna feed it to live stock. Why?

Ask me.

Now if you were just clearing off your field, then I bow out.

txgrn, I like to keep my bales in a single layer but no, even piled like Allan has his it won't spoil much. Not in this land of never rains.

Yep,

Losing hay to weather here is just about unheard of; it is just too darned dry.

Although, we do have the hailstorms in spades to contend with while the crop is growing. That will really put a damper on your sprits at times. :>(

Hear you on that. On grains, seems that the hail hits the week before the harvest guys are due in and everyting is on the ground.

Hi Mark,

That would be the horse feed, don't ya know.

And no, I don't wanna talk about that subject 'cause she just let me in on the price of the old snorter yesterday and my eyes are still waterin'.

I was plannin' on buyin' a combine with that money she had stached away, but she beat me to it, dern her! :>(

Well, I was just gonna say that the rain will ruin about 50% of it the way you have it stacked. It'll collect and hold water and rot; both between the rolls on the ground and the one on the top where it is sitting on the lower ones.

Just tryin to be a good neighbor.

No surprises in western Washington- its going to rain, and that's that. So- - - everyone puts 3 bales on bottom row, then two, then one, and covers the whole thing with black plastic. Tie baler twine to a tire on each side, keeps the plastic from blowing off. Should get 2 or 3 years out of the plastic, if you're careful when you feed it out.

Sounds good, but here in Tx we don't want to spring for the tarp so we just let her sit in the weather, high and dry and butted end to end one row at a time, spaced apart, N-S. Will last a couple of years.

Glad to see you got the scrapers , they're a neccessity here in clay country ! BTW , how wide is it and will you use a swinging drawbar ? We've found that's the secret in saving bearings here.

Hi Jim,

Dunno, must be 'bout 14'?

Naw, I never turn with anything in the ground; I lift 'em out, turn and drop. Then, I just make a round across the turn row when I'm all done to neaten it up.

I see a lot of guys around here do tho; like you say, must be hard on bearings.

Allan - Neighbour has one just like it and wants $1500 for it.Really thinking about buying it as a back-up. It's in good shape and as you say, they're getting hard to find. I don't believe they're building them that small anymore and even if they did, a small farmer wouldn't be able to justify the cost. Just a word --- keep an eye on the centre bearings. The JD 950 15' models took out a lot of those centre bearings, while the 12' models had no particular problems.

Jim,

You're right in the ballpark. It amazes me how the price of this old iron is climbing here lately. What was bringing $175 on farm sales two years ago is now fetching 10 times the money.

I think people are realizing that iron does last and that the old stuff works every bit as well as the new items for us smaller guys.

Allan, That is a neat little Gismo. Though I have never seen in in person or knew anyone how did. I can see why the 'horse people' think so highly of it for an arena drag. My question is ....what is the bar with all the points, up in the middle for? where does it fit,attach, what is it for, etc,etc. Glad you have found this missing piece you have been looking for.
Later,
John A.

Hi Ya John,

That is the cleaning bar and scrapers that mounts just inside the frame, down and behind those rear rollers. The knives aren't supposed to be pointed, they are worn that way from all the dirt.

By having the rollers attached in the rear like this, the darned things are always running in damp soil that the shanks are pulling up.

This just absolutely wears out those knives down to a point shape. Gotta replace a lot of 'em and I want to swap the crowfeet/smooth rollers end fer end to eleminate the problem.

That thing looks like a kissing cousin to my Brillion pulv-mulcher. I usually chisel plow quite deep in the fall leaving a rough surface. I can usually make a perfect seedbed in just one pass with the pulvimulcher at planting time. I'm very happy with it. I guess you've probably used these before?

Yes Sir,

I'm totally sold on these do-dads. Same way here; one pass and plant.

Trouble is, ya gotta be dueled up and have those irons in the ground. Plus, of course, pour in lots and lots of diesel fuel. :>)

Hope my old tractor has the gonads to pull this toy; my old packer of years gone by made my 766D's tongue hang out. :>(
