western iowa,by Denison | NICE TRACTOR found myself at very young age driving dads 1650 gas w.f.-3 speed 1969 model-with 400 gal saddle tanks putting 10 gal acre of bladex in a 12 inch band-it was 3rd direct 4.8 to 5mph-we had a 4row 38 white 5400-with a 2 switch blower controls as it was a air planter and the blowers ran off electricity-so you could shut off 2 rows at a time-a moniter that counted as you planted-and ran 2200 rpm-because we had a 540 pto pump-lots of stuff to watch when your 10-oh and the electric drop markers-had to stand up because couldn't see around saddle tanks-usually planter was rolling at daylight-normal to plant 40 acres before dinner because we filled saddle tanks wth garden hose-that took30-40 minutes-it was a runner planter with coulters in front-factory the coulters were out 4ft-Dad moved them back to within 18inchs as we had to torch the frame mount and reweld with the big arc welder-My brother Rick was a good welder as he got a lot of practice on a stanhoist and then a 1610 oliver loader | |
