We have a new toy, er, I mean new tool for the farm. We bought a tractor to help us plant the chestnut trees. a 1966 Ford 3000, it needs a little work but runs and operates as it is. We got a good deal on the tractor and thought it would make planting chestnut trees in the orchard a little easier.
Today I am working on the 1966 Ford 3000 just fixing a few things on it to get it in a little better shape and to fit my needs a little better.
First thing I did was replace the in-line fuel filter, it was leaking and had rust in it. replaced a fuel line and drilled hole in the bottom plate of the seat so I could move it back further.
It ended up taking us most of the day, we had to run out a few times and get parts and an air compressor.
The stores around the area close at noon on Saturdays which makes it hard to get much done if you need parts. But we got done what we could.
We ended up calling a tractor tire service to come out and replace the tube in the tractor tire due to we ran out of time and we needed the tractor up and running by the next weekend to plant trees.
