hey matt dose the md have a factory wide on it also whats the year?

 

Ill guess Ill just have to take your word for it....

This time.


Yeah I know you were on the Island. Was more referring to the stories my lil bro told me of PI. He said they had three hats. The SDI, the "Drill Hat" and the "Kill Hat". He told me the SDI more or less supervised, the Drill Hat was the mentor, and the Kill Hat was there to make your life miserable.

Thats what I was told anyway. I just figured you would fit the bill as a Kill Hat.








I give I give.... Man your violent...

Pretty decent grouping though


Matt, Good luck with the interview.



Afternoon all

 

It currently has a narrow front but the WF we are putting on it is a factory IH WF, it's not an aftermarket one. The tractor is a '51 i think, we've had several Farmalls the last few years and I've lost track what year each one was made. I'll have to look up the SN again to be sure on the year.

Here's a picture of it from a couple months ago. It's more complete looking now than it is in the picture.

 

Matt

That IH is looking great!

 

Thanks, we've been working on it a little here and there the last few years because neither dad or i had time. with me laid off i have more time time.We've done more to it in the last few months than we have the last couple yrs. The IH collecters national show is about 20 miles from me this summer. We're trying to get it finished and ready to take to that show. I think we're taking both the MD and the Super C to the show. Dad wants to put a sale sign on the Super C so he can fund an Oliver he wants to buy and restore.

 

Dad had a 48 Ford 8n that has a mediocre restore on it. He wants to redo it... one day.


Worms grandpa has an Oliver. Nice old tractor.

 

my grampas got an md come from out in mid west i think it was a beet crop tractor had an extra 18" on the right hand side rear axel......... i think its got a schwartz wide front....any way had a plate on the frame that brought the wide front back about 18"-24" so the center of the axel was under the rad .....he took the plate out so its back to what looked like org ...with the front axel bout 20" ahead of the grill its a little differant

 

We've had to Olivers before but sold both off before we got to restoring them. One was a row crop 77 and the other was a 770. We got good money for the 77, it had all the sheet metal intact and even had the original side covers over the engine.

There are alot of those 8N's around here, they are a neat little tractor. Lots of the ones i've seen are set up with a loader.


That sounds like an interesting tractor, never seen an MD set up like that. I have seen a few MDV and MV's at auction, those high crops bring alot of money.

 

Told you I'd take you for a ride with the trailer hooked to it...


I was a kill, drill, and Sr. Good times. I had a blast doing all three, but if I could go back for just one more cycle, it'd be a kill hat




I've been told. Just painting out what would happen... I was a little rusty, had not fired for a few months on that one. I can usually keep them all inside the 10 ring at 10 yards.

Evenin, DTR. Evening shift is on.

 

Evening Mark!

 

Matt!

 

Evening Fellas

 

I'm horrible with a handgun. I'd be better off throwing it at you

Now give me a rifle and your in trouble. I can shoot the center primers out of a shotgun shell at 100 yards with my little .17

Put my 7mm in my hands and anything within 700 yards is toast

 

Note to self, knock and announce at Mark AND Erics....




Im fair with a shotgun. Pretty dern good with a handgun, and better with a rifle. Worm and I used to shoot .22 every weekend. Got to where we could hit clays and bottles thrown by hand with em. Dont get to shoot much anymore.

 

I need to find a range that will let me shoot over 100 yards, the ones around here are either 50 or 100 for rifle. I know that .308 I shoot has way more potential than 100 yards.
