He keeps that stuff looking really good. My Grandfather started our farm in 1937 and we still have every tractor that has ever been used on the farm except for 1. Lot of super C’s,966’s, up to 1566’s. Probably 40 in all.
Putting a pressure plate in one today.

She is kind of one those cute fat ones where she looks good if you’re at the bar and about 10 beers in. Then you wake up next morning and ponder your life decisions

I’ve had the shear pin give way several times at the bushhog. Luckily it just spins on top of the implement until I stop which is pretty quick after I hear it going crazy.
What’s really scary is when the tongue of the bushhog breaks and the whole thing is flopping around .
These old tractors weren’t built around safety lol.

We had a grain truck with the same engine and a 10 speed road master. I liked driving it to baseball practice

I watched a show about how much it cost to keep a modern John Deere going. A lot of farmers started using hacked Russian software so they could do their own repairs.
The computers on the modern tractors are very restrictive.

Damn. Yea he’s lucky for sure.
I hit the key once while it was in gear, luckily I was on the tractor and no one was around .

He took the exact opposite approach than Jeremy Clarkson, who bought the huge Lamborghini tractor.
ETA: Can you still get parts for a 1970's tractor?
One of the arms of my six year old plastic glasses is cracked. When I went to the store where I bought them, and asked about ordering a replacement arm, they said they couldn't get it any more.

Yea, those are sharp tractors fixed up. There are a couple in my area right now. We have 2 Gold Demonstrators that are pretty collectible these days.

I can’t speak on anything outside of IH but they have companies dedicated to the older models .
You can damn near buy an entire tractor from Steiner parts.
Plenty of tractor graveyards in the Midwest too.

That’s awesome. You even have like 7140’s or 8400’s, etc. just sitting around?

Yea, but some of them don’t move so good anymore.

Too bad our refrigerators and microwaves are not of that era.

So what’s the end goal here? While cool, and incredibly unique, I have no clue wtf I’d do with all that sitting around.
