- Today I took a minute to reflect on some of the old tractors I’ve had. Every one has been an adventure of sorts, but I can’t keep em all! These were some of my favs

I enjoy your videos how you fix up the tractor like new kinda like me buy junk fix everything put cab kits in it paint it you know
"Love Your Cat"!!! "Fluffy" !!!!
Great video!!
Thanks!
You have to admit the turbo/intercooled 466 engine on the 7520 sounds great. I completely understand about the potential costs to maintain it. The 7520 is one of the best-looking tractors of that generation, at least you can look in your photo album and say, "I had one of those!"
Very true. I always was a sucker for how good looking of a tractor that was. That actually has the 531 turbo/intercooled motor. Same as the 6030 would have
Reuse and recycle, great job and great attitude.
My grandfather bought a mf 135 1972 uk model my dad gave it to me 50 years on same it still runs good what a tough machine
On same farm I meant
Great video! I can totally relate.
Hey JT , At the end of the video that sounds like the Moody Blues. The Night from Days of Future Passed. Enjoy the channel.
Great video, i tend to buy and keep tractors, thats why i have 13🤦♂️. Have a great day👍
Fluffy at the end 😄
she made a grand exit lol
Interesting relationship with farming machinery, I would keep every tractor n combine but understand if was equipment that upsize or change farming practices, would taken IH seedbox off seeder n turn it into icebox or toolbox👍
Just subscribed! I have an old 1100 and love it...really enjoyed the makeover! It made me want to show mine some love. Starting with replacing hydraulic filter and fluid . Are there 2 drain plugs for hydraulics?
there is one on the center section and one on the rear end. The center also has a cover on the bottom so you can clean the pickup screen. good luck! thanks for the sub
And thank you for the info! Keep up the good work!
I’d say you’ve had a few toys over time . I’m like you , buy them give them life and enjoy! Thanks JT enjoyed the video!
Was that last one a 4020 and wow nice video I never seen the 255 project
Unfortunately I did the 255 before I started my UA-cam channel
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 ohh ok buddy
Hey man, thanks so much for responding to my 1100 question. I’m draining hydraulics....and does the cover you mentioned have like 10 bolts in it? There’s a third drain plug all the way back on rear end and I don’t want to really mess something up!
that should be the one
Thank you!
What part of Michigan are you located. I live in Michigan over half my life. I know heading down state to Detroit there are some flat land I am just curious. Love your channel and now a subscriber..
I’m in northeast MI
Did you grow attached to any of them? Was it ever a difficult choice to let them go?
Sometimes. The 7520 was one, and possibly my 255. The others I don’t miss much lol
I’ve been a subscriber for a while now but I’m still going bad and catching up on your older videos. I like the Gleaner combine, whatever happened to that?
I moved that one along. It was an old A2 and was getting tough to get-make parts for. Did a nice job, just couldn’t keep it together for 5 acres at a time 😆
Hey jt where are you located in Michigan I live in Perry which is 20 min east of Lansing, right off I-69.
I’m about three hours northeast of you
What was the serial # on the 7520?
I couldn’t tell ya, only ever checked it once to get a year on it and for parts ordering. I don’t have it written down anywhere that I can find now. It was a 1973
Ok I thought maybe it was an early 1972, I think some came from the factory with the short alum name badge early on. My “73” has a long yellow decal the length of the hood,# 1943. We also have a “72” model, #1383 that we plan to paint and decal like you did yours, you did a nice job!
Gotcha 😉. Mine had the long decal originally but I put the short one and the old school 4 leg Deere decals on to “personalize “ it. Always liked that look
