Just watch what ya do, I hacked into the guvernut satellite....Ya kno your backyard in Jersey looks good even from up there....
 
Need to put this power steering unit on my 60 std as intended. Most of the mechanical issues have been taken care of so no more excuses.

A list as long as Santa's....

A few on mind now, finish cub, clean shop, rebuild shed that needs: floor, siding, wiring......, level and re-gravel driveways(as of now DEEP ruts EVERYWHERE), get another tractor in to look over, patch barn roof, break down the mountains of skids,..... and on an on and on...... most important get the ambition to do it all!!
 
No pictures, but I need to build a hayrack on a old broken down home-made running gear, and put a new crank shaft in a Farmall 200. Need both for upcoming haying season.
 
Working on a indoor wood boiler for the house. It's in place the hot
water thermal storage tank is there pumps are in place heck it's even
mostly wired, I just need to put a flue on it and connect the dots
with the piping. Then came a mild winter and cheap propane. Took the
wind right out of the sails on that project. At least I don't have
much money into it. Wife says it's something I work on when she has
other things for me to do. That may or may not be true I guess it has
to do with what size of the story you're on lol.
 
Longer list than I can type... :)

A few things are:

Get my garden wagon filled with dirt so I can plant in it - husband will take care of this one.

Basically need to revamp my entire rust garden... weeds have inched their way in, plus the hostas and lilies are over-grown and need to be dug/divided (should have done it last fall).

Clean the shop windows once it warms up.

Also want to make a small rust garden up by the house but revamping the existing garden comes first.
 
Way too many, but keeping it just to tractors....Ford 2N that runs only when it wants to, Farmall Super AV has water in the rear end so that it grinds when you move it and won't budge an inch in freezing weather, Farmall B that needs an overhaul. But the worst is an IH TD-6 crawler. Been sitting out on the driveway waiting for me to work on it for seven years (at least). I don't even remember why I bought it! Best I have been able to do is determine that it has a broken #1 piston.
 
JD 'B' -- needs everything ! '48 Willys truck, undergoing it's third mechanical 'reincarnation', needs rear driveshaft, rear shocks, rear brake plumbing & new trans. 'tunnel' in the cab. Seems like it's taking forever !

Procrastination proficiency :-(

I keep telling myself that as long as my tractor is in the restoration process, it does NOT wear. Which is a good thing, isn't it?
BTDT
Too ashamed to post a pic.
 
I have a lot of them, I have posted pictures of some of them on here. One I really want to get done soon
is a MM UTI with a blade and winch used by the army at an airport. Oh, then the steam sawmill, the D7,
the R4, the loader tractors, oh yeah, another old truck.

Hydraulic remote valve off the M has new parts installed 5yrs ago.What adjustments can be made while
its still sitting on the bench.How much tension should be put on the spring or springs inside and the
one outside before reinstalling on tractor.How many nuts go on the stem that comes thru the top.How
much stem should be coming thru the cap.
 
Good to know! I will note that in the manual. I do not see how I can possibly get to it this year unless I push into my shop here. The shop at the farm is still waiting on a cement floor. Too much grit blowing around to do a long term engine project. Maybe I will keep it here and work on it. I'll let you know.
 
Nancy an I were at Tractor Supply a couple of weeks ago and the FFA from a small, local school was there raising money for one of their events.

Spoke with the FFA shop teacher and offered "Lazarus" as a project for them.

He took my name and number, but the project might be too much time, effort, and money.
