You know, life's too short not too enjoy it with lots of toys. Any man that lets me buy a bulldozer, can have all the tractors he wants.

Well I see the neighbor buying stuff at auction and no need/use for most of it that I've seen. Two acres of carrots ,broccoli, lettuce and beats, 3 or 4 yearling cattle, 2 green houses heated with 30 cords of wood with grow lamps in one and 10 acres of grains mixed so you can't tell if it's suppose to be beans, buckwheat or oats. And harrows up 40 acres of ground all summer and never plants anything on it.

Now this bunch is living proof you don't need to work much for a living.

So I guess Norm can well have his tractor if he wants it.

Norm knew it, I knew it, everybody in the forum knew he wasnt banned from auctions because we all know that a lady with a D6 would never do that to her man!

I When I got to work, and got out of my car, in the real sunlight, it had a Case orange mist of paint all over my lovely teal vehicle.

You get tinted windows for free and manage to omplain about it

Some pay big money to have that done, maybe not in Case orange though!

Marcel, I'll just bet ol' CB was ducking for cover when Roxie got home.

Like Charlie I don't NEED a tractor but sure would like to have one if I had a place to put it.

Norm, I'm sure Donna would believe me too.

A great many years ago a friend of mine acquired and restored a John Deere A (circa 1935). The guy he bought it from had only stopped using it the year before the sale.

My friend decided to organize and entry in the local fall fair parade. He rounded up all his friends he owned tractors and lined them up in order of age. There was a Case, an IH, a couple of Fords and a couple of other more obscure models. At the front of the line was the 1935 JD A, and at the back was my 1982 JD 750.

Don't know whatever happened to that A. My 750 is still plugging away 29 years later.

There was one other item in the entry -- a 5 HP stationary gas engine from the '30's. My tractor was the only one with forks, so we had that gas engine on a pallet on the front of my machine. My loader was rated for 800 pounds, but it could barely lift that "little" engine. Definitely not your typical 5 HP B&S.

Nice looking tractor Norm, BUT, the only thiing I want to have that is green is grass and CASH........

Norm,
I am surprised that you have enough steep ground to need a hillside combine.

Norm · « **Reply #32 on:** December 12, 2011, 06:49:29 am »

Iowa is not as flat as you might think D. Western Iowa is quite hilly and would use that model.

Good catch on that.

Indeed!

I took the old girl out for a spin the other day. I'd not started it since I brought it home and thought what the heck I'll just hop in and see if she'll start. Turned over a couple of times and then fired right up!

I took her out for a short ride, Patty commented she's not seen me this excited about a tractor before.

Warbird · « **Reply #35 on:** January 02, 2012, 01:14:53 pm »

It's a nice tractor! What are your plans for her?

Norm · « **Reply #36 on:** January 02, 2012, 01:40:03 pm »

I have a 9' side arm disc mower it'll go on and then use it for my 6 row planter. It'll also run the 72' grain augur for our new grain bin.

Magicman · « **Reply #37 on:** January 02, 2012, 02:40:11 pm »

That JD was a nice find. Matter of fact, any JD is a nice find. I know that I could certainly use it. Even with a quick hitch, it's a pain to have to hook and unhook implements.

Nice tractor Norm,I consider it a "newer" Deere.I'am still stuck in the 50's.For sure a box of spark plugs goes a long way for me. Frank C.
