[AT] Cold snap over

[Grant Brians]

Cecil, the single most reliable tractor I have ever had and this mirrors 
the experience of many others in this area is a New Holland 6610S. That 
series was their last non-electronic series and while we do not have cab 
tractors since our climate does not really need them, the units that are 
higher in the series (the models ending in 30/40) usually have cabs - 
i.e. the 110-180hp models. They also are VERY reliable. The obvious 
downside is that these are 1990s tractors now and so the question is how 
have they been treated for over 20 years....

>> With the cold snap over, I've been itching to get back into the shop. But with so much metal and concrete in the shop soaking up heat, it was actually today before the shop was above 40°.  I would have opened the doors and warm the place up, but the humidity moved in with the warmth and the dew point had been higher than the shop temperature. All I would have done is gotten condensation on all the metal(430V is 42 degrees and the dew point is 46). I have made that mistake before only to find everything covered in water.   Tools in the tool box; you name it.  It's crazy. We had fog yesterday evening in the lower parts of the farm.

I've decided to take Cecil's advice and cut a slot in the outer tubes(and then welding back).  I've tried twisting and pulling and they just simply are not going to come apart. They've rusted too bad.  A part of me wants to completely restore this Haywagon. I think I need someone to talk me out of it. :-)
