He had a Big G 55' disk with 28" blades. The wings folded twice. It was one heavy Sob. It pulled it easily. The hard pull was a 5 shank ripper that was meant to go 5' deep. The shanks were some thick steel. It was built in California to work in the Salt on the bottom. He used it to bring soil...

Since we are talking detroit 2 strokes...I found a picture of my cousins homemade tractor. 8v92ta in the front 450hp 8v92 in the back 380hp 13 speed on each with two pairs of everything in the cab. It held 900 gallons of fuel in its home made fuel tanks. I think they built in the late 70s.

We're 2nd owners of this Super MTA..Neighbor bought this one new..our is a gas and we still use it. Starting on gas and switching to diesel is pretty neat, very easy on fuel. But lots of places for the heads to crack!. Friend had a MD..had a heck of time finding a good head!

A few photos from the barn today. Grandpa built the barn around 1920, he used cottonwood trees as poles. In the second photo the horse stalls are in the background. Thete is a Farmall 450 along with Dads IH 706 (I spent most my time running as a kid), Grandpa's MM U302 propane and Ferguson...

My 2 girls got introduced to my nephews new pup Pippen. A Border Collie mix. Penny wasnt thrilled.Lol In her defense...she is all puppied out! But, our 8 month old Pug named Tally was excited!

My condolences ...I understand the pain. Its a reminder to Love them and spoil them while they are with you. It sounds like you did just that. Cherish the memories of your 4 legged friend.

Quality of thermostats these days is poor, it could be a restriction by not opening enough....or possibly the lower hose is getting sucked shut at the higher rpms down the highway? We've found in some performance applications...Evans is far superior to anything else.

Only a mopar guy would replace the QJet w a thermoquad. You use what you have.:rolleyes: The olds ruined one of my favorite carbs.

The intake runners are so long on a olds they were notorious for running on after you shut them off. Occasionally catching the carb on fire. We found out a thermoquad is a terrible carb for a Olds 455. But the carb did melt completely and put the fire out. It literally could've burned the hole...

Going on a vacation in the 80s with my folks we had a 77 Newport. The master cylinder crapped out going up Pikes Peak. Dad stuck a rag in the emergency brake and we continued to see the sites. It was back when you could drive over Royal Gorge which we did w the emergency brake only. Going thru...
