Really nice looking Tractor's. Are y'all still dry we are really dry we're supposed to get rain later tonight and tomorrow.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We are dry again, some chance of rain this weekend.

[@michaelhelmick8225]

Looks good Russ! I may try to ride up to the show. Last time i went there wasn’t any hit n miss engines tho.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

There is always a few. I think I saw a guy there this afternoon that has some but not many there.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Come on up.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks Craig.

Mr Russ I absolutely love these two tractors. I have a friend who owns a 666 diesel, i refuse to run it, they all give me a hard time about it. I have a old 230 Farmall and a JD B. I love these old tractors, made the world what it is.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yeah I wouldn’t want to run the Devil’s tractor either.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Man that 656 turned out amazing!! Long time coming, but well worth it!! Finally the fender situation makes sense!! So does that reverser!! That 1066 is my favorite though, that thing is sweet!! Thank you for the mention, they do such amazing work!! Hope the show goes well, and look fwd to seeing details!! 😁😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲👍🏻👍🏻

[@Thomasfarmstn]

A cotton picking tractor bought new by a man who didn’t need a Colton picker. When I was a kid it had a loader on it. Forward/reverse made sense on that.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@Thomasfarmstn I bet the fwd/reverse with a loader sure was handy!!

[@aussiedirtmover]

❤❤❤ Very nice alot of love and labour has gone into the restoration 👍👍🥰🥰👍🥰👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks man!

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

They’re all looking good Russ, can’t wait to see your video from the show.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Hopefully I can do something different than the last few years. A lot of the same tractors come back every year.

[@aloisankli]

Very nice. Thanks man!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks Alois!

[@larrykeesee1442]

You really did a good job ...

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks!

[@paulcasefarms9933]

Very nice job on the pain and put together on the tractors! I like that you guys use them.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I was going to paint this one. We sold some hay to our paint guy. He sprayed it for us delivering it.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Beautiful tractors Russ. Enjoy the show and showing off your tractors. That 656 makes me miss mine I had years ago. Neat with the forward/ reverse lever since it was a cotton picker tractor. Mine of course here in Virginia was just a tricycle front but an early model like yours and no fenders because it was used with a mounted corn picker. Thanks for sharing.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks Nathan. Trike front coming this winter.

[@nathanalmond8280]

@@Thomasfarmstn I like a tricycle front end for certain things. Nice looking tractors.

[@marcussho]

Nice! Getting ready to fix mine up, broke the bell housing! I like the forward reverse option! Wonder if I can swap one in instead of the TA

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Not for sure on the swap.

[@gregrhodes8451]

Let the good times roll Russ! Im trying to get my brother an nephews to come to show an pull. God bless

[@Thomasfarmstn]

The show don’t officially start until tomorrow afternoon. We took the tractors up this morning and already a bunch there. I went back up this afternoon and I would say 150 tractors are there. Bunch more will show up Saturday.

[@GordonBright-sq4ef]

Got 2: Sharp looking tractors looking fwd seeing more videos of both tractors have good time at show

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks David!

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello nice looking tractors. They had a factory close by me Hamilton Ont. Canada. Do your t shirts have a pocket? Enjoyed your video thankyou Sir have a great day.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks James!

[@AgWildNebraska]

So they put the forward reverse on the left side because it would be easier to hook up linkage to with the cotton picker on? And then on the other side what do you have? Just high low with one lever and then 1234 like a 1066?

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Now high or low just 1234. This one was built for a cotton picker but never had one on it.

[@timbingham-k4x]

Narrow frount a must

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I’m with you Tim.

[@clydenicholson7750]

Does the 656 have five reverses and five forwards ? We have a 656 that daddy bought new in 1968.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yes, goes faster in reverse.

[@danaedwards5464]

they dont build them like that anymore beautiful

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks Dana!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Can't beat IH Red!
