    How to reinforce the front and back of a M

    The apparratis on the back I don't think is as much reinforcement as it is to make it easier to get on and off. I'm sure that was really the intention of the maker. It's a long step down to the draw bar from the platform or axle for someone who is really heavy or has bad knees or hips. Looks...

    Farmall C Demonstrator

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if there is no 'serial number' proof, it really don't matter. It'd take serial number proof to convince me. I don't doubt anything that you are saying. But the deal is, you got your story of the bottom coat original white paint. But once you repaint...

    Farmall H Horsepower upgrades

    I'm not gonna to say it wouldn't add something to the horse power. But I think it's fair to say that it would go un- noticed unless the cylinder bore was made equivelant to a Super H or 300. Then you'd get some 'noticeable' horse power improvement.

    Identifying production year of Farmall H by sight

    To tell the difference for each year would be tuff. A number of characteristics were special to the 39 or early 2 or 3 years of production. The Deering name was dropped from decal somewhere in mid-production. After the drop, decal only had McCormic. The 3 position light switch was only...

    How long can alfalfa seeds be stored?

    Do a germ test and plant according to results. If germ test is 50 percent, then plant double the amount of seed. I shoot for about 10 or 12 lbs an acre. Neighbor use to do 8 lbs an acre. But he was skimping a little in my opinion. Alfalfa will thin itself out. But I would avoid planting way...

    Farmall F 20

    If what's been said here about tractor data is correct, then the starting serial number for 37 (on this site), must of been starting serial number for Nov. 1 1936 (begining of the model year/not Jan.1). That number being 68749. That would also make 68749 being the start of red paint, and serial...

    Farmall F 20

    It would have to be a 6 for red to be possibble from factory. As in, beginning serial number of 5 or lower, would of certainly been gray. That said, if beginning number is 6, that didn't make it a red one. The change happened during the 6's. If it was red, the number had to of started with 6...

    H and M front hub difference ?

    Save yourself a headache, and go with the one for the adjustable front wheel width. Every H and M in my part of the country were like that. Like the one on left side of pallet and on top.

    Repairing Farmall H case - chunk missing

    I agree with redtom. You already got the guts out that will have to be put back. Might as well get a different case from salvage yard. If you go to a 'get it yourself' yard, you could probably save some work by choosing a donor tractor that has already been picked over but the case is...

    Farmall F 20

    I am not sure when the serial number break was, but Nov. 1 1936 was the time of switch to the red paint as been said. Most serial number charts go from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31., so if it's a late serial number for 36, it was likely originally red. I have F-20 serial number 611??, and it was...

    Rent a corn head?

    Local combine salvage yard has a line of functional corn heads they rent out. They renting out the heads instead of parting them out like they do with the rest of the combine. If renter has problems with it or it breaks down, they just bring it back and get a different one. The yard either fixes...

    everybody quit for the nite

    Its seems that young farmers are only being generated from family farms. As the family farms dis-appear, so does the young farmers. A young guy working for corporate operation is not considered a young farmer (my opinion). He might be driving a tractor for a corporate operation, yes. But he's...

    First money

    I joined 4-H when I was a youngster so I could show a hog at the county fair. When the hog was sold at the premium auction, a banker bought it. But it wasn't the banker from the bank where I had a small savings account. In dis-appointmemt that my bank didn't buy my hog, I opened a savings...

    Plow days

    Back in the day when you were plowing your own, everybody else was plowing thier own also. Plowing somebody else's likely wouldn't of intrested them, and there for wouldn't of showed up if invited. My renter don't ever plow. Thinking of taking it upon myself to atleast plow my terraces. They...

    Yes to what PeteL said. One or more driver axles are like a crankshaft in between the wheels.
