    Roll-a-matic

    In HS I helped a neighbor some that had a 420 w/ roll-a-matic front. I felt it handled better in rough ground (moleboard plowed) than our IH tractors at that time that had nfs.

    Bosch injector pump

    Scheid Diesel in Lafayette, IN just rebuilt a Bosch pump for our 706 w 310 engine. Kind of expensive, especially since they had just rebuilt it a couple years ago & all the tractor does is run the bean auger in the fall

    replacxing reverse shifter fork in a 806

    Owen answered my question on another forum. As he said, if you pull the range shift cover with the shifter in reverse the reverse shifter fork will be under the shifting linkage and will pull out when you remove the cover. Being I need to remove that shaft anyways it wouldn't matter but if you...

    replacxing reverse shifter fork in a 806

    I purchased a rebuilt range shift cover and linkages last fall thru our local CIH dealer so it should be in good shape. One other quick question. I remember the service manager at the dealer saying to put the range shifter in a certain gear before removing the cover for easier remova . Now I...

    replacxing reverse shifter fork in a 806

    I rebuilt the range shifting deck on my 806 last fall. Early this spring we started having trouble getting it to go into reverse & finally got to the point it wouldn"t go in. Only use this tractor on an auger in the fall & a side mount ditch mower in the summer so I parked it in the shed until...

    M Pto shaft removal

    If all the bolts have been removed my guess is that a sealant was used when the pto was last put back in & that's what's holding it. Use either a large dead blow hammer or place a piece of wood on top of the pto shaft & give it a rap. You may have to repeat the procedure on each side of the shaft.

    What size disc can a M pull?

    Back in the '50s we pulled a 9' Kewanee disc with a SM. Usually ran in 3rd gear. The old Kewanees were notorious for pulling hard. IIRC, the gang bearings had wood inserts.In the early we '60s we bought a 450 & a 13' IH #37 disc. A couple times when the 450 was in the shop we pulled the 37...

    SMTA with fast hitch

    I use to have a set of 2-3 pt adapters that worked pretty good. They were a FH prong that had the 3pt sockets turned up to give extra lift, aproblem with many adapters. The sockets also had a pin that let them pivot out / in to help in hooking up or unhooking from the implement. The problem they...

    generator vs. alternator

    I had my '49M's generator stepped up to 12v & switched to neg. ground by the local automotive electric repair shop. IIRC, the cost was under $35 & included new brushes. Generator was the one with the regulator mounted on it & they changed it out at the same time. I also had one done for my...

    size of plow

    We bought a new '67 656 gasser. We pulled a 14" 50plow 8-10" deep. Most all of our soils are sable & ipava loams. In sable soils we ran 2nd so we could pull the TA back in the tough spots. In ipava soil we usually ran 3rd with the TA engaged which let us speed up on the ends.

    SM klght style

    Did all the SMs have the "flat back" style headlights or did the early ones still use the "tear drop" lights like the Ms. If so, what year / serial # did IH switch to the "flat back" lights? I was under the impression that all SMs had the "flat back" lights but I received a pic today of a SM...
