It seems hobby machinist also like tractors!

Or do hobby tractor guys like machining equipment? :thinking:

I think the tractor hobby requires machining equipment. Unless you have lots of money to pay someone else for parts.

Now you know why I bought my lathe, I could of had a lot of other nice machines with the money Ive paid other people. One thing Ive noticed is thats the big difference between being able to save a machine from the scraper or putting more into it then what its worth. We have a trencher that has probably twice into it then what it will ever be worth and we have yet to use it to make any money.

With all the orchards in the area, Ford tractors are very numerous around here in SE PA. I grew up on a Farmall H, but with the hills here, need a very low wide stance, hence the Fords.

And of course, love Cub Cadets. All narrow frames.

These Fords are addicting - there are three 8Ns, a 851 and a Jubilee sprinkled around the joint. The Jubilee is the worlds ugliest, but best running tractor. That Jube will idle at 250 rpm - one day I'll post a video.

Yeah, I love those Fords also right along with the Farmalls. A Farmall Super A was the first tractor I ever drove.

That picture of the cadet looks like she needs a racing helment. Looks like it is really moving even though it isn't.

I find owning a mill and lathe opened up alot of projects that I didn't want to start cause it would involve buying more parts. But with the equipment I can repair most of what I need.
