Been working last few days on my 1960 IH T340 hi-lift dozer. Right side brakes were out and left weak. The right final had a leaking top seal, so 140 oil was all over the brake discs. Had a seal on hand, & bought new brake discs for both sides. Quite a job, but not as bad as expected. When...

IT POURS! Got my MF "2050" (modified MF1650) out a few weeks ago to pack down fill dirt in freestalls we're renewing. Heard a very light squeal whole time, but finished the job. Steering then became difficult as I drove to the shop. Almost got to point of NO steering. The power steering was...

One 150'x30'x10+' tall pit is filled, and started today on the other identical size pit. Silage like we've never had before....putting out the tonnage! Going to have much more grain when shelling time comes than we've ever had. Likely 40% more than we need for feeding our herd. Usually we have...

Wanted to let any MBN members that are members here that Matt had to shut MBN down for upgrading. She'll likely be down a few days, but no worry...Matt is switching software & new server. Should be lightning fast when it's up & running. Should be all new site sometime the 1st week of September...

This isn't about my garden sweet corn as you may have thought. It's about raccoons eating from our cow's silage at night. They pee & poo on the silage, leaving a disease called leptospirosis that infect our cows. Causes cows to abort calves. Several years ago we got hit by an "abortion storm"...

Been trying to roll fescue hay today. It was on the damp side (wet now...raining) but our old New Holland would have rolled it. This one just wraps the feeder roller with fescue, then grabs the small started roll & pulls it out & lodges it between the shaft & the belts. Taking the pickup...

Been restoring my stock MF1650 for my nephew. He asked if I had one for sale & I decided to let her go as I have used it very little with all the tractors I have. He wanted me to restore it & him being an ok guy I've been working on it a couple months or so. Here's some clickable thumbnails...

Here's an aerial pic of our dairy farm in south central Kentucky. We milk 100 head of holstein cows with about another 100 background heifers.

I have 3 Bush Hog garden tractors...two D4-10's and one JBI. The D's are gear trannies, the JB is hydrostatic and a much larger tractor. The JB is rarer than the D's, but I decided to alter it a bit beings I plan on keeping it till I die anyways.:wink: It came stock with a cast iron Briggs...

Here are my garden tractors that I have restored, or modified. Each has a story too long for me to tell all right now, but I'll add a little on each. 1st is my Allis 416H that was my FIL's. I restored & altered it. Changed from handle to "foot hydro control". I made the decals also. It's at...

We try to keep our old tractors looking decent, so a fresh coat of paint goes on when they start showing their age. Here are a few pics. 1st is one of our two MF2745's we painted last year. This is our other MF2745 and my Dad. He's 82 & going strong still. We just put a new coat of paint...
