No problem. Just get a hold of me, it's no problem at all normally....just some days in October are worse than others due to harvest.

As for the bonus question, is that what's sitting next to the dootz?
Bunch of nice stuff you got there. Some things that caught my eye, having both a 1750 and 1755 Cockshutt wheatland, kind of strange seeing a 4-115 without a reverser. I got all wound up there thinking you had a 1750 PFA, then from another pic realized it was a 1800B gas. Still not common though.
Lots of interesting stuff there. I have to agree, everything is too unique to stuff a B into. While I'd like to end up with that engine you have, you would have alot of fun stuffing it into a 1650 with a narrow front. Makes for a stupidly handy tractor to have around the dealership and quite a conversation piece. Mine was used for that for a very short time until I got carried away with making it go fast. Planning on detuning it this winter if I can make time to build a new tractor.
I do have a 1600 NF Gas though....although I like the old smooth running gasser too much to drop a 5.9 in there. That would be a good engine for that useless 1550 Utility Dad just thought he needed.
Is there anything unique about the fiat sitting kind of behind the porsce? I've got a 1355 high crop scattered about in pieces that I should get put back together some day. You need to find me a set of 14.9X34 tires for that. Yes, 14.9X34. WTF.
1550 utility gas or diesel? Straightshaft? Did he buy that because he was at the auction in Wooster and saw a less than nice one bring over 15K? I'm pretty sure there was some fishy chit going on at that auction. Knowing who sold it, and who bought it, and who the other bidder was that made it bring that much.......
Speaking of that auction, is that the 2255 that your dad bought from us?
Anyhow, 1550 rear ends are weak. You can tear one up at 6500lbs with a stock 3208. Ask me how I know. :hehe: Besides that, I'd use one that had the wet pto clutch so you have enough pto to run big balers and such.
Sometime stick your head under the left platform on the 4-115. Some of those were built in the mid 70's and had a casting boss sticking out where the hydraulic pump was on a 17/18/1955 ect. Obviously it was not machined there, but you could see where it could have been. I always found that interesting.
Wow Awesome collection. Would love to see that collection someday.
How many of these different tractors run still?
Thanks for posting all the pictures and PLEASE post more. I need to go up to my buddies grandparents house and get a picture of all his old tractors and small engines.
I think you are just moving them around and taking more pics. :group:
You have too many cool toys.

The 2255 came from Wooster, so I guess it could have come from you guys...I didn't know that.
Oh, and how much you wanting to spend? 14.9-34's are front tires for the DT's....we probably have something here. How good? Brand preference?Chris
We got one in that needed either clutch or 3 speed work, dad was all wound up that tractors at that auction were gonna bring big money. I had to run your dad up so we didn't lose money. I didn't like that.
Kinda forgot about those. I kind of elimated them as a option because all of those that I've seen look very wrong on the back of a 1960's tractor. 1/2 tread or better, fair price, no brand preferance, just something that would look reasonably correct on the back of a 1355. I'm sure you know what I mean.
BADASS STUFF..we go to the flywheelers show every spring and fall..i sold my 2010 so i dont show anymore but its a blast..even my 5 yr old loves it
