Ah yes a December visit from the Either Bunny. Saw two of those old New Holland combines working a corn crop east of Garner Iowa this fall, about a week later I saw a couple of Gleaners working across the road from where the New Hollands were, guessing their is still some old stuff working out there yet.
Sperry New Holland that was back when they were a damn good company! An old neighbor had an Oliver 2255 with a 3208 Cat. You could hear that thing bark for miles especially when he was plowing or chopping!
Hey, Wess! Is there a reason for keeping it if you are not going to use it? One reason I can think of is to have a backup engine for something. Go Wess! Merry Christmas, to you and the family, from central Indiana. Not much snow here so far.
Had to help unload a bin full of corn after the engine blew. Used a knotted 4" tie down strap for a belt and a JD B for power. Took everything it had to drive the auger.
are you going to to it in the barn to use later? It is an ols piece of history. Give it to Tim to fix up and rent some ground and he can start farming if he wants.
You know if you washed and waxed it, it probably would've started easier! Also wax would probably help those bearings that have been exposed to rain and weather! Seriously though good to see those old red and yellow combines start up after sitting for years.
Technically, it's called a track loader which is a type of modified bulldozer per Caterpillar's website. If you're going to split hairs and correct someone over the internet, it would be wise to first check your assumption against google as to not prove yourself as an actual idiot.
What is it with you american simpletons saying "technically" to explain everything when you havent a clue what you are talking about all the time? Technically,OJ Simpson was innocent. Its not or nowhere near a dozer,its a trackshovel you dumb fuckwit.
I was going to mention Boehm farms but it’s been done. The other thought was you mentioned possibly getting back into grain in the future, does selling this rule that out?
Had that 3208 Cat V8 in an MF 1505 in the UK it revved to 2850RPM But was not very torque if that's the right spelling . That one sounds like it's definitely not runic on all 8cly when it started.
For all the machines i don't play with every day o have installed a 100watt solar panel and desufator and so batteries remain charged an serviced found it save lots of frustrating moments
Hey Mr Pandy. I am a 16 year old boy and I live on a farm operation in Colorado I have been watching your channel for over 3 years now. I see you have fun making RU-vid videos but I would need some advice to get started.
Well, I need a combine, an don't have a lot of money to work with, but I do have an ac all crop in working condition, maybe you could bring it to steuben county ny..
I'd give about 75 cents haha. We had one when I was a kid and it had to be a lemon. It was in theory a good combine. But we gave nothing for ours and expected it to be junk from sitting out side.
just out of curiosity: wes says something about 24 volts .. ain't these batteries connected parallel thus resulting in doubled capacity not doubled voltage? can anyone explain that to me? thx :)
Look at his video from when he pulled it out of his shed. He fires up the rotors and the such and it seemed to work good. I think he said it had some wiring issues back then but I can't remember.
One of my Dad's cousins retired out of Cat, and claims he assembled they very first 3208, engineering brought him down a skid of parts and some copied pages and told him this our new engine, put it togehter it please. He ended up running the test stand for that line for years
Robert Schumacher My neighbor had a TR85 with the 3208. I don't know how many hours but has it ran like a champ for the entirety of my life thus far haha. It has been retired the last 10 years or so though. That cat engine still kicks right to life whenever he needs to move it around just like how OLF's did. The combine around it is pretty much junk though.
We had at Johanna farms International straight trucks with 32foot bodies The loads were very very heavy loaded with milk The engines lasted for about 100000 miles
