Remember how I like to brag that these two workaholic friends that I have will sometimes call me up and see if I'm planning a tractor project. I always say yes, and then try and make a plan. Well, I went to their shop on Friday, with a plan, and to catch up on the gossip and I was again invited to bring a project, [there was a rider this time]. They were going to be bored by Monday so I had to be there with a tractor, but this time they dictated what tractor I was to bring in. My 730 John Deere. This was not my plan but the 730 was on the 'future' list, so, what the hey. The tractor was crammed in my machine shed and it was still cold out. [You'll see in picture four, the 730 way back in the corner.] Well, I dragged quite a few items out of that shed and then weaseled the 730 out. Everything was so cold it would not start. I bladed off a big area so I could turn the truck and trailer around and got it lined up with the tractor. then I hooked my gin pole up between the big JD and the little one and pushed it up the ramps onto the trailer. The two hotrod trucks that I skidded out of the shed are still outside and will stay outside until they will start.
The first three pictures are from the late '70's or 1980. This was my only farm tractor for about seven years.
