I had a bush hog brush mower that my dad bought new 30 plus years ago. I used that mostly to mow any fields up until I had a catastrophic failure with it earlier this summer so I'm using what I have until I decide to buy a new brush mower. But what I was doing in this video the sickle mower would have been my choice anyways.

@@Cobbhillfarms Nothing lasts forever and eventually it's time to replace. I have been guilty of keeping old stuff going for far too long!

Nope no swather board on the end of the sickle. I generally use that only for mowing under fences and ditch banks. The swather board would just get in the way.

Lol I can agree with that.

I ran it for a half hour after I replaced the filter and my friend has had it back and to work for a few days now. So far so good. I have seen what you are talking about though. I spent 8 years as an on the road mechanic for our local Bobcat dealer a number of years back. Thanks for watching the channel. Its greatly appreciated.

@@Cobbhillfarms I am happy it was just an old filter with water and rust. Great repair, !

I bought it at the steam show from the IH tractor club that I belong to. They sell apparel at the show. I'm not sure where they buy all their stuff from, but I know the person that orders it for the club. I will find out and get back to you. It was the only style there that really jumped out to me that I liked.

There is a lot to take in for sure. We are very lucky to have this quality of a show this close to home. I have heard of the Friday tractor company before and have seen one a time or two at this show (probable the same one as in the video) but honestly don't know much about them.

Oh, that's cool. I stand corrected. Never seen them before. What time frame were they made? It looked homemade as I have seen so many homemade "doodlebug" machines around that closely resemble it. But never one with a dump box on the back before.

@@Cobbhillfarms 1931 to 1961 for working on golf courses mainly

@@Cobbhillfarms they actually had a straight 6 300 cci Ford engine in them

And it also come with a 4-speed manual transmission

@@billkroczyk3749 Thats quite the production run. I'm intrigued now. I'm going to have to do some research on them, I think. Thanks for the insight on them and for watching the video. Its greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Greatly appreciate the well wishes.

I know right. I couldn't believe what both H's went for. The running H was a good buy I thought. The non running H was high I thought. My philosophy on auctions or selling/buying are things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for something. I'm more apt to spend less at an auction for something than I am buying from an individual. Just my opinion. As always thanks for watching

@@Cobbhillfarms I totally agree

Nope didn't even get a number. I saw early on there was nothing there I couldn't live without, so I was just a spectator. I do enjoy a good auction experience though. Thanks for watching.

@@Cobbhillfarms how long did it take u to drive to canandaigua ?

Thanks. All the parts came in reliance parts boxes. I had the machine shop get all the internal parts and gasket kit for me. I'm not sure who their supplier is.

Thank you. There were so many great pictures that were taken that day. We are excited for things to get back to normal. Thanks for watching Kevin.

You don't see to many still running in fields around here anymore. Just a couple of small operations around here like our farm. It a perfect combination when you have limited pasture like we have rate now. Our wedding day was so amazing and we had so much fun. As always thanks for watching.

Thank you. It was a great day. I'm happy with how the tractor turned out. But more importantly Stacy is overjoyed with her new ride. We certainly will be putting it to work on the farm.

Thank you. We had such a great day.

Thank you so much. It was such an amazing day. Thank you for watching the channel.

Thank you so much. The wedding was amazing and was everything Stacy and I could have hope it would be and more. Stacy LOVES her new tractor. thanks for the well wishes and for watching our videos.

@@Cobbhillfarms let's restore the 560 next!! Lol

Lol. Im thinking the Allis Chalmers C is next to be restored later on this fall.

Thank you. The wedding was so amazing. we will never forget it that's for sure. Yes, I do chop that field instead of grazing it because it's not my property. It belongs to my neighbor, so I do the next best thing and bring the pasture to them.... for now. I'm working and going to be working on expanding our pastures so I can rotationally graze them. I love seeing cows out on pasture. Thats a work in progress.

Thanks Todd. The wedding was amazing yesterday. Stacy and I couldn't have imagined a better day. It sure was special. She loves how the tractor turned out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Knotters seem to intimidate people but they are pretty simple once you understand how they work. The older equipment is essential to the operation of our farm. Dont have the overhead of expensive loan payments and there simple/ cheap enough to maintain. There is not to many CASE tractors being used for farming around here anymore. I can think of one farm on the next road over that still farms with CASE tractors. We have a few CASE collectors in the area that show theirs. But that's really it. Thanks for watching the channel. Its greatly appreciated.

@@Cobbhillfarms Your philosophy is nearly the same as ours. We just picked up a very good NH 275 baler for a spare from a retired farmer who was going to scrap it for $600. We figure we have less than $10,000 in our haying equipment and it is very dependable. Or, we could have $100,000 in haying equipment to do basically the same job. And, be paying interest on borrowed money. No thanks!

Thank you. He enjoys anything tractor related. He has been driving these things since he was old enough to reach the pedals. Thank you for watching the channel. Its greatly appreciated.
