Just wanted to jump back on and post an update since I've been pretty scarce for a while....I've been reading the board almost each day but haven't posted much.
2020 has been,,,,,I think everyone knows. We were relatively busy at work, until recently, and now it sounds like the Gov is gonna shut us down again, so maybe I'll get some time off again. Plenty to do at home anyway.
Bought myself a Cub Cadet Pro Z to mow with in August, going to keep up farm property with it too. IT HAULS.....I can't believe how fast this thing is!! Dealer gave me a great deal, and discounts alot of my parts so that's a bonus.
Wife and I had to put down her dog earlier this month...OMG one of the worst things to go through. I'm still upset about it. He was really a sweet little guy.
My Brother sold/gave away 3 of my parts tractors....I saw them listed on Facebook Marketplace, asked the guy (since they were my Dads and Grandparents old machines) if I could have the serial number tags, and the guy blocked me. Nice. They went to southeast WI if anyone is wondering. A 782, 100, and 123. They were parts machines, but still had some good stuff on them. Kind of thought blocking me was odd. Throwing the tags in an envelope really wouldn't take too much effort, I don't think. Not like they were resto candidates.
Never got my 1861 sold.....thinking it may donate it's engine to my dual hydro 782. I'm on the fence. Haven't found an organ donor, and the 1861 is nice, but not too nice. Not sure what I should do, but the 782 is my snow plow tractor so I need to get it going. There's a rough 1863 close by here, guy insists engine is good, but man, it is rough. Hasn't run in years. I'm skeptical. Still, partwise it's worth what he's asking. Haven't decided yet. Seller is a bit hard to get ahold of.
Garden did OK this year. Not as great as in the past. Weather was odd, and the Derecho tore some stuff up. Still, looking forward to next year. I'll change some things up, plant some new stuff, eliminate some things I didn't like. Probably put more flowers in actually, neighbors really commented alot on them. Peppers did well, as usual.
Fixed the rubbed through dash and leak on the creeper on my 1050, but not in time to get to a plow day. Maybe next year. That tractor is awesome.
Picked up a nice set of IH wheel weights a couple weeks back. Gave them a coat of Ironguard federal yellow. Not sure if I'll put them on the 782 or 1050.
How's everyone else been? Anybody got a good project going on? Trying to decide on a winter project this year.
