- In this one I try to go pick up my combine that I purchased a while back. Unfortunately the trailer we brought just was not up for the task and neither was our courage.

Cold work, don't miss being out in the cold at all. Old and city spoiled now. There was the good old days, and there was also some not good old days. :)
🤣 I definitely hate the cold! It makes everything seem more difficult 🥶
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!!!!
Thank u for keppn old iorn running
Thanks John!
I work in the cold too! In Wisconsin.
🥶🥶🥶🥶
glad to see it running again! Those Chrysler 318's are tough ole birds!
They sure are! Thanks Kevin!
great video thanks for sharing
Glad you got it Running. You will get it home. Just Be Patient. Great Video.
Thanks Chad! I’m glad the seller is willing to let me store it there until I get it figured out.
You do good videos keep it up
Thanks Ricky!!
Not sure what you're worried about with the trailer. At least the combine is running and moving again, which is great!
There were lots of things that were less than ideal with the trailer. I was worried that we would hook some lines going home for one. The other thing was the angle of getting it up on there. It was going to end up for the back axle of the combine was sitting on the tires which came through the floor of the trailer. It was just going to be more of a hassle than it was worth. I found someone who has a detached trailer so hopefully in the next month or so we can bring it home!
I know what you talking about I used to do diesel work and when your fingers get cold you you can't hard turn a boat I have failed in love with your shows watching you work on different stuff and watching you feed your cows you keep doing good work from Mississippi
Thanks!!! It sure is more miserable when it’s cold out that’s for sure 🤣
GREAT VIDEO . I think you are very smart.. BUT.. you could have removed the corn head . This is a two trailer job.and I know that you already know that too.😁
Thanks Thomas! My red 7300 I moved home with the corn head on the combine on one trailer. I’ve got a detached trailer found so we’re going to haul it in one piece with that as soon as we can get around to it.
I always just say I'm making memories!!!
Absolutely!!
Old iron restarts are interesting to me. Especially the start up with little money lost. But then come the repairs to make fully operational and the bill for parts.
I love to watch will it run videos as well. I don’t mind spending money on something if it’s something that I know I can use later and have fun with like this combine.
I bought a car dolly and use that to pull combines. Pull the drive shafts and make sure the final drives are full. It works ok. Just need to make sure the rear axle isn't too wide.
Yeah, that was another option I thought of. But I did end up finding someone who’s got a detached trailer and he said he’d haul it for me if I just put the new floor on the trailer which he already has so trading labor for labor isn’t a bad deal.
I did the car dolly 20 years ago with a 33 Oliver combine. 90 miles. That 33 tore the dolly up. Had to remove the pan from dolly and patch it back together.
Did one of them 5 hour combine drives in our 545. Ended up putting a new variable speed cylinder in it on the side of the road after the drive belt broke.
That’s what I’m afraid of. I really don’t want to be wrenching on it on the side of the road because it’s hilly and curvy between there and my house.
Engaging the starter with the fuel stop pulled and chain ratchet binders I how I got mine in the trailer. A winch or come a long would have been great to have.
That’s what I said too. If the trailer had had a winch I would’ve done it no problem. We could’ve pulled it nice and slow on there and wouldn’t even have to be in the cab probably.
I was very hesitant to do the same after I got it up and running good! My son had bought a goose neck trailer but I wasn’t ready until it just had to be done . I had contacted a lowboy guy but he never called me back. So , my son and I took off one day on a whim of mine , had a small payer and loaded on to his trailer with no problem. So you can do it .
Yeah, I’m sure that we could’ve made it work but I ended up finding a neighbor that had a detached trailer so I’m gonna go that route. It’s a pretty good deal all I have to do is put the new floor on the trailer and then he’ll haul it for free 🤣
I agree Ross, I didn't mind spending all day in a combine working, but driving 3 hrs on the road would be dreadful. Lol.
Luckily I think I found a guy with a trailer willing to do the job. So hopefully in a month or so we can get it done!
That a nice combine
Thanks!
Not much I hate worse than mechanic work in the cold. The metal sucks the heat out of my hands and once they're numb, it's just a waste of time trying.
I would have thought you could find a rollback truck large enough to carry a 7300.
It was more of a height vs low hanging wires issue more than the weight.
Loading them things can be nerve racking.. our 525 i side loaded off a bank onto a stepdeck.. looking out the windows hoping the planks didnt break was a feeling all of its own…. If you can find someone with a landoll trailer it works real smooth.. great video and good luck!
Thanks John! I found a guy with a detached trailer that’s willing to haul it for me so hopefully in the next month or so we can get it done!
Cool machine! I know your pain with finding the right trailer. I bought a Blueberry harvester back in Nov, From a guy about 45 mins from me way out in the middle of almost nowhere. Contacted up a friend and told me it'll cost nearly $900-1500 to get it back... Mind you the harvester has a Hyd Height control and goes up about 2ft. But as is it is nearly sitting on the ground. ughhhh!!! Gotta wait till spring now.
It’s close enough but far away enough. You can almost talk yourself into driving it home but that would take forever 😭
Good work. 👍 one step at a time. Sure sucks working in the cold.
Thanks Adam!!
The darn cold is working against you. Little by little it looks like you'll get it home sooner or later. Thanks Michael
Thanks Michael!!
Maybe a detach trailer is what you need Ross? lower to the ground
That’s exactly what I need! I’ve been looking to find one locally won’t charge an arm and a leg
You got it moving on it's own power . When yo get a good trailer lined up your ready to go. Hope you turned the gas off. LOL
Lol. I did remember to turn the gas off the second time too! I got a trailer worked out so now it’s just a matter of getting the time to do it.
You get an E for effort. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Gil! Merry Christmas to you too!
ive had to load/unload ih715 & jd4400 on 25ft gooseneck trailers those skinny tires its sketchy
Yeah, that plus once we got it on we weren’t sure we’d miss all the lines we passed on the way. It just wasn’t worth the risk.
Ahh what the heck just drive it home. What’s the worst that can happen😂 stay safe and have a good Christmas
Thanks Casey! Merry Christmas to you too!
3,000 subs amazing
Isn’t it though. I didn’t even have to make a video on how to groom a cat.
Well apparently I need to make combine videos cause it’s working for you
@@ctfarms6471 buy an old IH 915 and drive it home.
Need to inflate the low tire, that could be the reason why it's feeling light in the rear
I did end up inflating it but I didn’t film that part. I drove it around a little bit but I ended up finding a guy Who has a detached trailer so we’re gonna use that hopefully in the next month or so.
See guys use a dolly under back axle,or a tow truck to back axle ,tow it backward down the road
I thought of doing that but I ended up finding a detached trailer and a guy to haul it for me. All I have to do is put a new floor on his trailer and we’ll trade labor for labor
If it's only 20 some miles home just drive it. We farm farther apart than that here in Nebraska
I know the distance isn’t really that far, but the terrain between me and the combine is really rough. There’s a lot of hills and blind curves and not knowing what condition the machine is in it makes me nervous. I found someone with a detached trailer so I’m gonna go that route.
You are dedicated. He who dies with the most toys wins.
🤣🤣🤣
Not dumb it runs and drives so great now clean and lub fuel and drive it home
I’m considering it but boy I don’t look forward to that 🤣
You southern fellas need to man up we work in the frozen north country all day with numb hands and get our work done and spend all night warming them up, and I am not going to tell ya how either ha ha
🤣🤣🤣 that’s what my cousin was saying on the video, there were people watching that probably thought we were a bunch of pussies because we couldn’t stand the cold.
I don't know where you are so I will ask my question. Is there a possibility you can drive it home. Back in my day, we have been known to drive our combines as much as 50 miles. Took a while, but we didn't have a way to haul them, so we drove them.
Thanks Jonathan! Yes I have consider driving at home but the terrain is hilly and curvy between me and where it’s at. Not knowing anything else about its condition I’m hesitant to take it that far on its first time out. I ended up finding a neighbor with a detach trailer who’s going to haul it for me.
U can do it. Ross
Thanks John! I hope so 😭
Just watched the first episode of the Oliver 1955, about a year ago it was videoed. Thoughts on episode 2?
I wanted to get started on it a year ago lol. One of these days I’ll get time to tear it apart. Other people bring me stuff to work on and their project pay better than my own so I don’t get to my own stuff as fast as I want to.
Do you have an extra coat? I got cold just watching. Great video thought.
Thanks Greg! I’ll let you borrow my coat if you want to come out here and work on it 🤣
Could you put the corn head on the trailer and then drive the combine on the trailer or then drive it home 0:50
We thought about different ways to do it but ultimately I decided to just find a guy with a detached trailer. So hopefully in a month or so we can get it moved home
Hi Ross just out of curiosity, how did you free up the cables. It is only a failure when you stop trying.
I stuck them for a week in a bucket of oil. Then one night I sat in the basement next to the woodstove and I took a small sledgehammer and tapped one end until I got it to move and then I tapped the other end and worked back-and-forth until I had them free.
I got a stupid question, how hard is it to take the head off?
On these it’s not hard at all. Unlatch two latches and disconnect a coupler and you’re good to go. We considered taking the head off but then we would have to deal with it separately.
Wrong color??
It's the right green!!
That’s what I say 👍🏻 he’s never had a green one he’s got a red 7300.
Who paid for the fuel to keep the truck running all day?
I asked several times if he wanted to shut it off but whatever.
Your wife is probably tickled at to what you bring home , Can we see her at some point lol thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
I figured out that if you don’t have a wife she can’t yell at you 🤣
@@rosstheoliverman ok well that’s a way,,,, they sure do have some good things for you thuogh , I have a couple of them in Texas ,,, lol my 55 Oliver still has the problem of somone to tell me if it needs to be separated to get to the shafts in the transmission area , ?? Thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Drive it home the heck with a trailer
It’s very tempting but as rotten as the tires are and some of the belts it makes me nervous. There’s a lot of hills to go up and down and curves between there and my house.
Ross, do you know what that white stuff is in the middle of chicken poop?
That’s bird poop too 🤣🤣🤣
@@rosstheoliverman I figured you knew😂
Pure country
@@steveschumacher5470 this ain’t my first time dealing with shit 🤣🤣🤣
Dirt Perfect Isn't that far from you, is he? He'd probably run up there with his detach and drag that home for you.
I looked it up and he’s about an hour away. He’s farther away from the combine though than he is to me. I ended up finding someone with a detached trailer so sometime in the next month I hope to go get it.
What was wrong with the trailer? Not wide enough?
Just barely and the angle of the tail was going to cause problems while loading. After measuring we also discovered that the hight would potentially be a problem. It seemed doable but I really didn’t want to risk it. I’ll just find someone who has a detach trailer.
@@rosstheoliverman makes sense
🥶👨🔧👍👍
Thanks Tom!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!
