My New Toy

[farmer2wife]

This is my new toy my husband just bought for me. Couldn't find an IH forum to put it in.

You are one lucky woman to have a man like that!

Looks like a nice new old toy you got. How does it run and drive? :fing02:

Slip yes i would say i am lucky......but he is lucky too having a wife that loves her tractors...even if i do love the red and he loves the green...makes for some fun arguments.......Jody it runs and drives great!!!!!!!!! i couldn't be happier with it...he was surprised the 3 pt actually lifted the feed grinder the other day :D

That is a really nice toy your husband got for you! :fing32: I can attest to how well they perform. I let a neighboring farmer cut the hay off of my river bottom pasture and they have a IH 284. Does a real nice job and does not burn a lot of fuel getting the job done. Yours looks to be in real nice shape and appears to have been well cared for. Enjoy!

A little damage on the front of the hood...but everything else is in real good shape. Thank you i will enjoy it, if i can keep my boys off of it long enough so i can play too forgot he bought me a cultivator for it too. Guess he's thinking i can do my own garden now..LOL

From the oil under the tractor in the picture it looks like someone has been performing some maintenance. I strongly recommend changing ALL of the fluids and filters to establish a known maintenance baseline to start off with. Pay close attention to the oil and fluids that you take out inpecting for signs of excessive wear (metal debry/fine flakes and oil in the coolant) New fuel filters and always running a good quality fuel additive is also a good practice.

ROF actually i was thinking the same thing Jodie.....i have a feeling he bought it for me so he can buy another green one...oh well..i think we are up to 11 old tractors now with the boys allis chalmers

[farmer2wife]

thank you for the info chief...he just got a tuneup kit for it this week....hasn't had a minute to work on it yet.....the manifold does have a crack in it and he will check to see where it is leaking

He's buttering you up so when he comes home with that new Mustang GT you'll be happy for him. :050:
Seriously enjoy your tractor. :fing32:

:fing32: if a mustang gt hits this driveway it better have my name on it...i would give up my truck for that...maybe he making up for the semi he just bought

I ate breakfast at the Castle Country Kitchen today just outside of Urbana on rt. 36. They brought me a plate of food with so much on it that i coudn't eat it all. I heard good things about it from other drivers and finally had time to stop in and check it out. I will be going back if i get the chance. :fing32:

I have NEVER had that happen :trink21: :trink15: :fing02:

[farmer2wife]

Durwood...they have great food...they also have a place in New Carlisle and Mechanicsburg. If you come away from that place hungry then there's a problem. Glad ya had the chance to stop and try it out. :)
