    Got the fuel tank, now need the horizontal manifold….

    Dakota Foundry used to do custom cast and machined manifolds for antique tractors. Absolutely no idea how expensive it would be -not cheap I’m sure, but worth checking. I don’t see that talked about on their website anymore, but they might still do it. https://dakotafoundry.com/

    Farmall B Narrow Rear Wheels

    If any further clarification is needed, there's absolutely no need to turn the tire treads backwards. Whichever of the four different ways you decides to configure the rims to the wheel centers, you just swap the tires and rims between the left and right sides of the tractor as needed to keep...

    Bought some parts from this site

    For what it is worth, I bought parts from YT, and a seal was wrong. Vendor had packaged the wrong seal. YT told me to keep the old seal, sent me a correct replacement seal ASAP (no pun intended) even though I discovered the problem long after the "return window"- and then they gave me my money...

    Farmall B Dipstick

    If both petcocks are present and working, why bother? They seem to work just fine.

    Grandpa's Farmall A

    Awesome. These old machines are worth every penny in my opinion. They are worth saving for future generations.

    Starting new and bring back land looking for advice

    Not advice so much, but I just want to drop a note of encouragement and say congratulations, kudos, and enjoy. There are few things more rewarding than taking on being the steward of a piece of land. I vote for building a cheap shop to store and work on your equipment first, dedicate a small...

    Farmall wheel/rim paint

    I have read claims that the hammered silver is the exact same paint, as I ran into the same thing.

    1949 Farmall Super A

    Looks great. I saw your comment about the decals elsewhere, and was wondering what book you were referencing. It is my understanding that the "DEERING" was dropped sometime in '49, so some '49 tractors would still have it. Makes me tickled that you have used this very under-represented decal...

    Best rags for final wipedown?

    As the title says, what are the best cloths/rags to wipe stuff down with acetone or other final prep chemicals with immediately prior to primer and paint? Something that doesn't leave a lot of lint and debris behind.

    It's been 7 years, is All State Ag Parts still dependable on quality?

    My experience with ASAP/YT has been fantastic so far. This year, I ordered a seat pan I thought was for a Farmall A, and had to send it back as it was generic four-bolt Farmall pan. They didn't ask any questions and sent me a return label. Another time they sent the wrong oil seal. We talked...

    Difference between A and Super A, and a good place to find decals for these tractor

    Wonder if they would consider changing it? And they really need to get their dates right and offer the McCormick-Deering early Super A set as well.

    Difference between A and Super A, and a good place to find decals for these tractor

    Nice! I have a '46 that I am making good progress on- it runs, but it is getting a full repaint. I've replaced every seal and gasket from the engine back, including the rear main, done the clutch, and installed new brake bands. What is your serial number if I may ask? I am kinda odd, I really...

    Difference between A and Super A, and a good place to find decals for these tractor

    As Jim said, As never came from the factory with hydraulic lift, Super As didn't come without. I like to use decals that match what was put on when the tractor rolled off the assembly line- adds in a major way to the cool factor of a restoration or repaint. There are tons of generic decals out...

    Hebard shop mule

    So glad you saved this thing. I had one of those FM magnetos you may remember me asking about- from the research I could find, they are excellent mags and parts are readily available from Brillman among others. FM made replacement mags (that of course they claimed were better than IH factory...
