    930/ 930 comfort king

    Other than a Case 420 loader tractor or a 530 Construction King tractor loader Backhoe I've never really spent much time on a Case, the BTO I worked for did buy a used Case 4WD a 48-something, it just played with his big chisel plow or field cultivator his Deere 4320 would just creep along with...

    930 Case. Yes or No?

    Couple farmers, neighbor's, had 930 & 1030's and they jumped at new 70-series when they became available. Dad bid up a 930 diesel WFE at an auction, looked really nice but it didn't have frame rails to attach a front mounted rowcrop cultivator to so we ultimately passed on it. Week later Dad had...

    Found something on my Super C rims

    I was the tire/wheel/rim Buyer and scheduler at the IH FARMALL PLANT for 4-5 years. EWC did 50% of all the high usage rims/wheels, French & Hecht did the other half. And MOTOR WHEEL in Mendota, Ill did one rear steel disc wheel used on 686/Hydro86's, was a 15"x34". Titan Proform stamped out...

    Super M 12v conversion

    Dad installed 12V Delco 10SI alternators on both his tractors, first was his 1951 Farmall M he ordered and took delivery of on 12-24-1951 and it first refused to start on 12-25-1951, was below zero that morning. But it now starts first time every time with a BIG 12V battery charged by a big 12...

    Looking at buying a Farmall H, what to look at?

    I had to laugh about " checking the dip stick". There was a "dipstick field package" where you drilled a hole into the right rear of the block right ahead of the oil filter and think the adapter bolted on. It's a pretty rare accessory, I've never actually seen one. It says in the operator's...

    Engine on old balers or combines?

    Neighbor had an IH #55T twine baler, with IH C-113 4 cyl water cooled engine, It could be a pain to start occasionally, but we seldom shut it off, only when we were done baling for the day. Dad had a IH #50-T baler with a Continental engine that was really fussy about starting when hot. Think...

    BS engine in 782 Cub Cadet

    It would be nice if you could let us know what brand of engine you have. I have a 20 hp ONAN in my 982 Cub Cadet and it constantly required expensive tune-ups and other parts replaced. I parked the tractor and bought a new Cub CADET zero turn with a 27 hp Kawasaki and 54 deck, and it has loads...

    Explain the TA on a Farmall to me

    If your just driving around I'd leave the TA in the high side so it doesn't freewheel downhill. TA is for heavier pulling like when plowing up clay hillsides or disking up hills. Soon as you get up to the top of the hill shift the TA back to the high side. The TA is a great productivity...

    Farmall H Horsepower upgrades

    I'm going to agree with Caterpillar Guy, if you want or need more HP an M or Super M makes the most sense. Dad had a '39 H that he overhauled before I was old enough to run it. I'm assuming Dad put oversize pistons & sleeves in it. It got traded for a Stock Super H in 1968 and there was no...

    My Uncles Tractors

    I'd grab that 656 Hydro diesel up. They're actually kinda rare and one heck of a handy tractor, great to put an IH all hydraulic loader on.

    M sn break

    Dad had a local car/truck/tractor repair Shop update his late '51 built M to the M&W live 2-way hyd system, it had a distributor when shipped from FARMALL. the M&W kit used a cast iron pump, can't remember the name. In ALL the years those pumps have been in use I've only heard of one being...

    Want to buy a pull behind Sickle Bar Mower

    I've heard lots of great comments about Case/IH's sickle mower with a wobble box, think it has a V-belt drive, and it's also sold under the name Howse too. Not sure when IH started making them but there may be mowers just branded IH with the wobble box. Our old Oliver sickle mower needed lots...

    IH #8 2-14 hydraulic conversion brackets.

    Here's another vote along with DeltaRed, hunt up a 2-14 plow already equipped for hyd lift & lower. I've never plowed with my Super H, but I've plowed with a couple M's and 3-14 #8 plows both trip style and hydraulic raise & lower. I can switch from one to the other, can't really say I like one...

    Impressed by my little put-put in the cold. (pic)

    Dad bought a 1940 styled B at a farm sale in December 1968. It's ONLY use was to pull our Deere model R spreader thru our Hog House. We modified Our 1939 FARMALL H to fit, cut the rear axles, modified the rims to fit deeper on the cast rear wheels. But the '39 H was traded for a REALLY sharp...
