I wish I knew why the nut is loosening like it is. I tightened it down as far as it would go and the lock washer was pushed down like it should be. With the welds already cracking, that is just a shame and with everything else that is going wrong is a pain. Sounds like you got a lemon Erik, I'll...

I too am curious if the ruse worked in your favor. Oh and I ran the numbers and I'm willing to bet their shop rater per hour is $65 and that puts the the $260 bill at 4 hours. Alot of times the mechanics at those shops can get paid anywhere from $10 to $15 an hour depending on specialty and...

Yeah, it didn't have a back seat but was supposed to have a cardboard/masonite shelving area for salesmen to put their magazines and brochures in. I measured my 440 and it is basically a 30"L x 30"W. With a little trimming to the inner fenders I can make it work. Thanks for the sites to look at.

Welcome to the forum Wedge, I'm sure you would love my retirement project car. It is a 1952 Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe. The plan is to build a new frame that will be a tubular race inspired frame, Lincoln Versailles Ford 9" out back, '77 Volare front subframe, and a '67 440 shoehorned between...

I'm not interested in it, just showing you a craigslist special where the seller is cracked out. Erik explained to me the proper break in procedure for these machines, I'd rather buy a machine that I don't have to worry about metal shavings being in the fluids from the factory.

Another forum I am on has a thread like this and I thought it might be a fun way of showing others on here what kind of crazy stuff we see on craigslist. I'll start it off. I came across this tonight and asked Erik what he thought...yeah, the price seems high. What do you guys think, hell of a...

Thanks, that would be the Farmall 806D with a period correct model 37 disc behind it. Both were my grandad's when he was alive and farming. That disc is amazing and it worked so well in the river bottom ground. We even used his 494A four row planter to plant the sunflower seeds. Dad pulled that...

Thanks, she needs some cleaning up and rewiring done to her. I cannot run the lights on her without draining the batteries. I plan on going through her with a fine toothed comb and replacing what is either missing or broken. After a new coat of paint, she'll be just as good as new.

I like that, great idea there. Whenever I get around to building my loader unless I pick up one cheap, I will have to remember that.

The next door neighbor got his tractor and helped pull it out, they spent more time laughing about it than actually getting the tractor and pulling his out.

Here are some pictures from last year, the field is 3 acres and we used it to plant some sunflowers in.

I've been meaning to post this picture of my Dad getting his 560 stuck in what will eventually be his pond. He was trying to spread some clay that had been dug up when he had his lagoon emptied.

That is good news.

Welcome to the forum, whereabouts in Kansas are you located?

At least he has some consistency, even if he doesn't mean to hit the frame.
