I planted 7 acres of Mycogen corn in the spring. My neighbor will be combining for me and I will be using my 4400 to haul it to the elevator 6 miles away. This summer I have overhauled the brakes( shoes relined, cylinders honed and rebuilt, some tubing replaced, and new hoses) cleaned up and painted original bed wood the original red and white colors, replaced the wiring (still a stock 6 volt like its brothers) and put on new tires, tubes, and flaps.

I rebuilt the seat a few years ago. Harsh hoist is working well. It is one of the first hoists they produced back in late 48, installed in my truck in mid 49 when it was bought.

The ash tray is stuffed full of grain receipts from previous owner. There are numerous 18K lbs and 20K lbs receipts. I took the extensions off to try and reduce the chance of overloading.

I will try to post pics afterwards.
