Nice trailer! My dad and I are looking for something along those lines

Thanks, I had a 20' just like it, but it seemed like I was always needing a little more room. This one is 22+2, it took me a long time to find a btw that length for a reasonable price.

Tell me about it! Theres 20footers eveywhere. I need a dove and he wants at least a 22'. Found a decent deal on a 20+2 but with him waiting on his pension and me roofing my house next week, it wouldnt have worked well for either of us.

Dammit, how does everyone keep finding out?!

Thanks, guys.

It just came up on my feed,and I knew it wasn't gonna come on here

The old man has a 1955 Oliver, but it's some ridiculous 4wd thing that seems really short, lengthwise, and tall. It's a cool old tractor though.

PICS!

Happy Birthday to both Caleb and Levi. Sneaky buggers!

!!!!!

He picked it up from some truck driver at work, wouldn't run right and 4x4 didn't work. A rebuilt Roosa on the Wakeshaw (sp?) and a new front axle and everything is fit as a fiddle. Haven't really put too much time into it otherwise, it's just something he breaks out when he needs a completely uncalled for tractor.





And the rest of the fleet, a Massey 165 that we use for everything, and a 4020 he bought years ago with a tree growing through the block and a tricycle front end. Put a combine engine in it without the turbo and gave it a decent resto. Now we use it for anything the 165 can't hack.







Thanks, Pete.

Waukesha, they were in lots of old tractors. I couldn't remember how to spell it either, had to google it.

[cmann250]

I'm not a huge Oliver fan, but any MFWD muscle tractor is sweet! I've spent many hours on that 1955 I referred to earlier. That and a synchro range 4320 get a lot of hours put on them during hay season.

[ellis93]

I like the Oliver,I wish stuff like that had made it down here.

Pee Pee on you Ellis!

Anybody interested in a set of Rockstar wheels for a dually? Complete set of 6 for $1100 with decent tires, fronts are new. When I get the tire size from the guy, I'll list it in the classifieds. If anybody is interested now I'll give you his number, and you can make the deal, I'm just putting in the ad and can take them west with me in June if you want.

[ellis93]

I own one,I can say that

Caleb's B-day was last Tuesday, everyone.

Don't matter now! I flew under the radar, even though I think it's displayed on the bottom of the main page.

Let the guilt tripping begin

I sent you a text Caleb.


Happy B day Levi. Here's to another year of you saying you'll stop by and never doing it.

Today was a grim day for jaeger. Her other hid burned out so it has no headlights as of now, and about 2/3rds of the belt shredded. So I really need a new belt, and for my other HIDs to come in.

Aside from that my tuning is going well. I've picked up some off boost responsiveness, and the converter is locking up sooner which results in a much stronger feeling truck

[cmann250]

I sent you a text Caleb.

Yea I know who my friends are!

I like the Oliver,I wish stuff like that had made it down here.

I'm referencing ~100 hp tractors from the 60's and 70's here. The only thing wrong with that era of Deere tractors is the price. It's beside the point, but you can hardly buy parts for those Olivers anymore. They just don't exist.

You want to be cautious turning up the 310 waukeshas, there were a lot of them with homemade windows in the blocks. some of the problem was two piece piston pin bushings in the rod. I been accumulating the necessary pieces to dodge power my 1950t, sure wish it was one of the four wheel drive ones, i'm blue green with envy. it's a fairly easy swap because of the later white 2-135 or 140 which came with the 6bt motor. maybach in ohio has all the chit you need to do it, the flywheel is the most expensive piece, it's unique to that app.

[cmann250]

Believe it or not Tom, this 1955 did have a window in the block behind the pump. My buddy welded it up and it hasn't given him an issue since. With another head gasket going bad, he's kind of considering a 6BT. He's run quite a bit of money through Maibach.
