Hi all, This is JJ here in Texas.
I grew up on a dairy farm in south Ireland so I would say tractors are in my blood, Ive been in the US for about 15 years.
My first tractor is a 1947 M LP with a 3 point. I rescued it from a field, rusted solid. New pistons, sleeves etc and she runs like a top. Still rough on the outside hopefully paing will come soon. It had the 3 point conversion which I reinforced and added power down as i was using it to build a road and prep a foundation for my new shop. Great tractor, it has no problem breaking the grader teeth if i hook up on a rock.
My new project is a 1967 806 gas. I bought it not running well with some minor issues, water pump, radiator, hydraulic fittings corroded and leaking. With the timing corrected and a carb rebuild and its runs nice. Compression is between 105 and 127 psi.
I'm still educating myself on the systems of this 806.I think I might have a governor sticking as acceleration is a bit choppy. any thoughts on that would be appreciated!!
It has the fast 2 point hitch which i will upgrade soon, probably fabricate something myself and save the cash. I'd like to fit a rops system as this is alot of tractor, (saftey first)
Well thats a brief history on my end. Looking forward to meeting Y'all!! JJ
