A diamond in the rough. A recent flood victim of our recent but much needed rains. Water was at fender levels and it appears that there is water in all compartments? But I will save it. Late 6U five roller direct start with oil clutch. This will be a lot of work but you don’t find these every day. 
  Wish I would have gotten to it before it went through the mud wash?

TD, I could save you the pain and misery of polishing that gem up...just bring it to the BBQ and I will quietly haul it off so you won't lose any sleep about it!
A 5 roller 6U is a very rare bird. Add the direct start, oil clutch and LATE serial number, solid front idler. Some of us have encountered only one 5 roller narrow unit and we all asked the owner to part with it...not a chance!
I do not know where you will get more pleasure from; doing the restoration, knowing that you have a one of a kind, putting her to work, or?
Great catch (again)! Hmmmfph!!! I might have to remind you about the 7U that you can't drive at the same time! Congrats! JM

Thanks Gman but I forgot to mention, no trailers are allowed at the BBQ🤓 Good thing you and Stan are in the other valley or there wouldn’t be any tractors left for me to find 🤣🤣
I hate to tell you but I know of one more 6U 5 roller that I’m trying to get. I don’t know a lot about it ,but it is a direct start. Doubt it is an oil clutch.
See you at the BBQ But no trailers🤣

Okay, no trailers; how about Mikey M. and his rocket launcher? It has a hefty winch too, so he could be quick about it! Seriously, that will be a one of a kind money making machine for you in your ag ventures. I considered having Mr. Steve build the 6U orchard here into a long track just to be different. I have the parts and he has the capability. The things one does for entertainment. JM

Hi, Tractor Don.
From that last post, it sounds like the Gman is getting bored again.

Just my 0.02.

It must not have been too boring, you managed to read thru it and stayed awake...I am still debating about the Sikorsky Sky Crane Deas; TM wouldn't let me do the flyby in the Citation, so he probably won't like the potential dust storm my guy kicks up...and I always thought you guys promoted things that flew as well.

Gman, what’s the rocket launcher? I’m going to hide everything 🤣 Won’t be anything to see at the BBQ. Yes the 6U will be a good tractor when I’m done. 
  You build that 6U this one stays here 🤓 
Deas, Gman has always got something going on and stirring the pot 😁

Hi, Tractor Don.
I like how JM says I ". . . . . . managed to read through it and stayed awake." Was he watching me? Nope, or he would have known that I fell asleep MULTIPLE times which is why it has taken me this long to respond to him.

Mind you, we could use that Sikorsky Sky Crane here at the moment. We have 8 X 40-foot containers to move and where they currently are is too wet for a forklift to get them out. We KNOW this 'coz we tried it. The forklift drove in there just fine AND got its forks under the first container. So far, so good. As soon as the operator tried to LIFT the container, the front wheels of the forklift sank down about 9 inches. We had to use a Cat 966 loader to pull it out - - - WITHOUT the container.

Hi, juiceman.
We DO like aircraft here but there are only TWO types of 'dust' allowed here:

1. Dust from earth moving or plowing.

2. Verbal BULL dust.

End of story. 'Nuff said?

Just my 0.02.

Hay Don I maybe a day late, but if you have not got the 6u to higher ground you might take Gman up on the Sikorshy. I am on the south side of the Nacimiento Lake my wee little creek is filling a 5 foot pipe( generally would all flow through a 6 inch) . I would guess Monterey Flood control has every gate they have open on the damm.

Getting much needed moisture here is welcomed. Sad part is our allocation for irrigation water is only 35%, and no word of receiving anymore. One could go on about lack of water storage and management of this precious resource, but it pretty much falls of deaf ears of the higher ups. Let's hope that everyone can stay dry for the time being and safe from some of the planned and not so planned flows of water. Time to put on your wet suit Deas. Helicopters? My parents went thru the "Flood of "55" here. Terrible situation. They had to take shelter in the rafters of the new home they hadn't occupied but 3 months; a dozen people including a couple of very wet and scared dogs called that their home for over a week; eventually rescue teams flew in and they hacked a hole in the roof to get each of them out. Sorry for the rambling. JM
