Do you use them or are they “retired”?

@ they are being used

Where did it end up?

@@farmer62401 The larger yields are definitely challenging for my JD 45 combine and my New Idea picker sheller. I’ve learned to take my time with these old machines and not get into a hurry to get things done.

@@tomcorcoran3401 Thanks!

@@stevenladd2822 Thanks!

It’s a Full Vision, Inc. cab. Still in business.

Enjoyed your video. Looks like he had a better cab. Not a big collection-everything I have has to do some chore if it’s running. I probably have too many plows and I have 9 old tractors. They all run but some need some attention to use for certain jobs. Thanks for watching.

I’m the third owner. The fellow that owned before me had it from 1972 to 2022 -50 years! Used it every year, kept meticulous maintenance records and kept it inside. I paid probably too much for it but I have not had any problems with it the past 2 years. That’s worth something.

@@rogermiller7411 honestly, who cares what you paid for it as long as you love it and get to use it. My dad had a couple of 55’s and quite a few 95’s, they were his favorite. In the early 70’s he was always bringing another parts rig home. He usually just had one good, running machine and once in a while two. I learned to wrench on things because he was continually swapping parts around to make them better. Around 1980 he bought his last one, a square back 95. We only cut about ten acres a year with it for several years and it sat in the barn the rest of the time. It was in really good shape too. He finally sold it in the mid nineties because we had stopped growing grain for for several years and we needed the space in the barn. It broke his heart some because it was the end of an era for him.

Thanks!

It is rumored that you can throw a pumpkin in and it will separate the seeds . . . .

I would love to see you use that check row corn planter. We had a Blackhawk planter that we check rowed with. I still have the wire spool and stake somewhere in the barn.

@@rogermiller7411 I’ve never seen one used, I’ll try this coming spring.

Super MTA is the M to have!

Same as yours. Glad I don’t have to grease the gangs.

Good to know. Would rather have the lower speeds for baling and running the picker sheller. Thanks!

Is it still there?

Nothing runs like a Deere!

John Deere 42. Go to my channel and there’s a couple of videos of it in action with the 730.

Wheat also.

@@rogermiller7411 Ok...thanks Mr. Miller.

Mine works well on level ground. On side hills it doesn’t want to switch markers when I start a new round. I’ll try your cleaning method. Thanks for the tip.

@@rogermiller7411 I'm 60 y/o and this system of cleaning the marker changer works well for me even on hillsides. After the planter sits for a few days because of rain, I'll (high pressure air) clean the mechanism and put a little WD-40 on the pivot points. Been working great for years so far.

Thanks for the tip.

I have an 8 foot disk with about 400 pounds of weight on it. Maybe I will try that. Thanks

It does a good job from that respect. This year my corn was knocked down in spots from hurricane Helene so I left a lot in the field.

If you were a farm boy in the 1950’s you probably drove an M at some point. I helped a neighbor that had 2 M’s and a Super M. The M’s he named Mike 1 and 2 and the Super he named Big Mike.

@@danw6014 Thanks for the tips. I did adjust the snapping roll clearance which helped.
