Your motorhome I'm sure is cared for. The term Farmabago however came out of a naming contest from Project Farm on YouTube. His is quite rough, but he has a lot of fun with it though. It has kind of morphed from there.

Welcome to TBN and would love to hear stories on some of the older tractors.
An amazing collection for sure.

That motor is cold storage for some old furniture until we decided to tear it apart the rest of the way. Engine and transmission are gone and the other wall was cut open to take the stove out.

The W6 and 930 Case were saved from a scrap yard last fall. The W6 needed a front tire and the carburetor rebuilt. It's got a magneto that works great. It usually starts on the 3rd pull of the crank. The Case got new filters and Dad and I rebuilt the starter and is mechanically fine as far as we can tell. It needs some electrical work yet. The Sears garden tractor was saved from scrap too. It was missing the carburetor and the front tires were junk. I bought a $15 Ebay carb for a Kohler and it works great. The Advance Rumely 20-60 Steam engine has been in our family since 1988 and will be for quite a few to follow.

The M Farmall and Economy 5hp engine came with my house. The M had an F11 Farmhand on it that I sold. It is missing the serial number tag but going by some of the castings, it appears to be a late M with disc brakes. I had to rebuild the starter before I could do anything with it. The Economy needed a wrist pin and the rod bearings tightened up. As far as I can tell, it's on the factory cart.

Sounds like some great saves, and some good wrenching to get them moving.

I think it's great that you folks are respecting the old iron and keeping it going. Wasn't there a big place called Bonanza or something like that in the Dakotas that had just about everything under sun. Tractors, trains... Or at least it seemed like it a couple decades ago when I was traveling through. Might have been in North Dakota though.

I think you mean the Bagg Bonanza Farm. That's a little ways off the interstate about 20 miles up from the South Dakota Border into North Dakota. That was a big farm around the turn of the century that had a huge crew to work it. Huge house, huge barn, out buildings and whatever else. I think it's a historical site. It's been a while since we went but they were closed for the season at the time.
