Amen - brother!!!!!!! I'm starting to get a little weary of bringing my workers to worker status - but, I think once I get these tractors fully on their feet, I should have only yearly maintenance going forward and hopefully a few and far between failure.
I was motivated when my 126 didn't sell. It is a VERY good tractor, but the offers I got were low by low standards. I'm thinking - I know one puts $$$'s and time in these tractors and the likely hood you'd get anything closes to what you got in it is bleak, but the low ball offers were pretty lame. So the 126 stays for now and it's getting a nice going over. The low ballers can buy a piece of junk and sink their time and $$$'s in to it - LOL.
Norm B - Me thinks the condenser too.
Harry B - are you telling me that my fine modern, McCormick era old iron QL 1650 w/ gas miser 14 hp engine in it won't crank as quickly as my older iron 126?!?!?!!!!!!!! This is a disturbing finding as I thought the AQS has that state of the art/modern bendix starter vs that old S/G stuff and was an improvement as it ridded the IH from a belt and any charges that there was a belt present on the otherwise shaft driven tractor!
What I think is really going on here is IH decided to use the bendix starter vs the S/G to give the QL's a quieter start....
Heads-up..... IF the weather behaves, the moldboard plow might make an appearance this weekend...
