Just saying hello. Erik told me to check out this site, so I am.
A little about myself, I am a self confessed car nut. Although if it has wheels and moves on its own, I'll probably dig it. I really enjoy going fast, pretty much the story of my life.
I just recently, I say recently but it was actually in March, purchased my grandad's tractor along with some of his farm equipment. Here is the list of what my Dad and I bought:
IHC 806 D tractor - 2pt Fast Hitch (its actually a 3 point, just missing the top link), wide front
JD 494 A Planter 4 row
IHC 4 Row Cultivator
IHC 37 Disc
10 Ft 2 pt. Springtooth
IHC 10 Shank Chisel
2 pt Posthole digger
JD 7ft Sickle Mower
3 bottom 2 pt Plow
8 ft Wagon w/ steel floor
and Misc equipment.
As you can see we easily purchased a large amount of my grandad's equipment, I just wish that my grandma would have asked me if I wanted any of it before she decided to sell it. At least this way she cannot have a say in how and when the equipment is used. Why she put all of the equipment up for sale is because of two reasons: (1) my grandad past away almost two years ago from a short battle with cancer, (2) she befriended the only farmer in the area that is a crook whom is afraid of competition from her family. That is about the nicest way I can put it.
The plan with the tractor and equipment is to fix it up and put a new coat of paint on them.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or tell me what year my tractor is, I would greatly be appreciative. The serial number is 29590 S-Y.
