It's already the 4th of July?!

I see steel wheel tractors everyday around here. One branch of the local Mennonites requires their members to run steel. They even have it on combines, and on a lot of their other equipment.....including riding mowers. I'll take a pic sometimes and post it.

Jim, I suddenly feel much better about our current tractor 'issue'......grin
Your projects are way beyond my level, there is no way in hell I'd be able to remember how to put it all back together!
Went to replace a 1" hydraulic hose coming directly from the the oil cooler(radiator). Large fittings and it's right off the the delicate copper tubing of the radiator....
One fitting takes a 1 1/2" wrench, the other 1 3/8".
What should have been a 1 hr job turned out to be all afternoon and the tractor is out of commish until hopefully next Thursday at the the latest....
Threads had gone to hell and we could not get it busted loose. Heat and get a 1/16" turn, repeat. Get an easy half turn and jam up bad.
Judging by the old fittings it had been 'worked' on before.
Obsolete part, $1130. Only 12 left in the country....

Jim, if weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

Richard, that roller is awesome!
Appears to be a beautiful seed bed.

Sam, knowing where to drive can be "fun". The angle of sunlight makes a big difference. I've been pulling that old Western Land Roller since 63.

Jake has been looking for another roller, we have a hitch we pulled two four row planters with. The rollers sell for over $500.

Could you just solder or braze a new end on the cooler Sam?
My friend has an 875 Versatile.
Last spring I was helping him finish up farming and he blew up the u joint and yolk on the drop box that goes to the front end.
Needed the yolk on the drop box and the back half of the front drive shaft.
Both obsolete and outrageously priced.
He found both parts at a wrecking yard in Canada for like a third of the price.

Richard, sounds like the roller is just getting broke in!
Jim, as we were battling the fittings I asked my dad if he knew and good silver solder guys.
Again, this is out of my pay grade......grin
