    OT - Where my father was today in 1944

    June 7th my father was in La Madeline, France. His company, had been both trained as Quartermaster and Infantry. Originally sent to Egypt to deliver supplies, their trucks were still in Virginia. They used Italian and German trucks they repainted... they were transferred to Infantry and sent to...

    Inner Tube question

    I ordered a bias ply tube for my Farmall that I used for plowing and disking with a small disk. The tube was stamped "For Radial Tire". I do not put liquid back in the tubes, the rear weights are enough for my field. Is this going to be a problem?

    Allis B Lister Planter

    Both of the implements for our B were chain lift, we had a plow kit and a corn planter. I have a pic of an AC snap coupler corn planter to show what I mean by chain lift.

    Looking for photo, Allis Chalmer with 2 water barrels

    Back when my father bought his IH 140, he ordered a logging drawbar for it. The salesman could not locate one - I have never seen another one since. Their implement assembler manufactured one in his spare time by expanding the photo to get the pattern. Bolted right up and we used it for 30...

    Looking for photo, Allis Chalmer with 2 water barrels

    In the 60s and 70s Several farms around here used Allis Chalmer snap coupler tractors to plant tobacco. There were green brackets that bolted to each side of the engine to install 2 to 4 55 gallon drums of water for the transplanter. I have been looking for a photo, have not found one. I think I...

    Pony oil leak from differential

    I have fun using mine. Right now the clutch is stuck from being parked for a few months. That is a common problem here... usually fixed by dropping the plow or cultivator in the field on the Farmalls. I have a old Mccormick disk I hope to get next week. I plan to hook that to it and see if the...

    OT: 2004 Grand Prix GTP overheating

    With the cooling system full, start it and check if the thermostat is opening and water circulating. Checking the fuses and if the fan motors are not seized would be at the top of my list as well.

    Wood types used in old barns

    Here I have seen Roman numerals in barns for assembly instructions, was told it was easier, with only 3 characters - especially if others did not read English or spoke another European language. l, ll, lll, llll, V, VI VII VIII VIIII Next set X, XI, XII, XIII, XIIII Then XV set, XX, XXV

    Wood types used in old barns

    My Uncle built several large barns for tobacco. My grandfather planted oaks to cut for the outside boards. The inside posts and tier poles - what type of wood was used for those? 60 to 90 years later, the posts and tier poles are almost as good as new. Eventually I would like to have a small...

    Field Modification article... the wheel photo

    When we had an AC B, the photo in the article shows the type wheels the tractor dealership recommended with bias ply tires... The original wheels were not available for a while when we needed one. We ended up straightening ours and reusing it.

    Complete A/C B with implements

    Great photos! Found my fathers assembly instructions.. turns out it was a B 62 cultivator. If you have something you cant figure out, you can try emailing me. I post online about once a week. For installing and removing it, we had 2 wooden blocks to go behind and under the rear tires. Put the...

    B Model Parts

    I have seen new front wheels for sale online at tractor parts stores. I would be more concerned about how it runs and starts. If it is hand crank started, be careful and follow the instructions, esp making sure its in neutral. What shape are the tires in? What happened to the old front wheels...

    Complete A/C B with implements

    On the one we had, when you got to the end of the row, you would lift the hand lever first. The hydraulics would lift it the rest of the way up. We had a Model B 64, originaly the cultivator model. Came with a plow kit, a corn planter and a used disk... miss it, still look thru the B's in the...

    identifying an McCormick-Deering disc harrow

    My uncle used Agri Supply as well to get parts to repair his Mccormick 10 A disk. He had taken his apart and measured the shaft.

    My MH Pony - how it looked previously

    Got my Pony out of its winter storage, charged up the battery, it started. On my first day - it split an oil line... so that is my first project on it of the year. I am still hoping to find out about its past. Back when it was about three years old it was turned over, the air cleaner bent up...
