    Farmall M Pistons

    If ypou do go to the dome piston or the other you mentioned do you have to use the higher octane gasoline? Or is regular gasoline just as good? What is the standard horsepower of the M with the factory type pistons? What does it become with the domed pistons? And what does it become with the...

    Oil filter type for Farmall M and H?

    Hand crank storage 1940 H

    My Uncles and grandfather welded several of theirs to wenches they used to lift cattle gates. I think they even used one to collect a strata of grease-dirt for some 40 years. I think the hand crank is like the human appendix...maybe at one time.....long,long,long ago in another farmer's land...

    Tire change out

    Farmall H tractors. The bolts holding the rim/tire onto the wheels are frozen on something bad and I want to switch out to another tire/rim set...would it be easier to remove the wheel/rim/tire altogether of heating bolts and trying to go that route? What would be the best method if a person had...

    Farmall Crankshaft

    Where would I take a M"s crankshaft to have the journals checked out before completing an engine overhaul? What about the Camshaft? What about the Fly wheel to have it ground smooth? And possible a new starter wheel gear? Any ideas of what I should expect to pay for these services?

    Hydraulic System of M

    I would like to activate the hydraulic system of a 1947 Farmall M tractor. There never has been any pump on the tractor up front by the distributor, there has also never been a hydraulic "tree" attachment at the FILL CAP area (pulley area). What is an appropiate system check of the attachment...

    High oil pressure

    A 1953 super M has a high oil pressure, top number on the gauge. The oil is checked..both "petcocks" (spelling?) have oil coming out when loosened. radiator is good, engine sounds good but why high oil pressure? Temperature gauge is in the cold range also. To the kicker,...driving it slow in 1st...

    Farmall M....clunking noise.

    My Farmall M has a "clunking noise" coming from inside the engine. It was low,low,low on oil for some time I am guessing and driven and worked hard. Thus the noise. Someone who works on tractors heard it and said that if something is not done with the engine it would eventually throw a rod. Lost...

    Turning Radius of Farmall M

    Basic question. Which tractor would have a tighter turning radius. Both Farmall M models. One has a wide front axel and the other has the narrow twin tire set-up. And if there is a difference, how much difference is there? And finally, if you were to use the tractor for pulling impliments in a...

    alright lets go!

    Hey "Kansas", why not get the police involved and help restore respect for land owners? I guess you"d call me a "half-breed". My mom"s a farm girl and my father the cityslicker. I consider myself to be very fortunate in my formative years with a very well rounded experience. Ignorance and no...

    Stuck hand crank

    I have an idea, especially for the Indiana squad...see if anyone down on "Gasoline Alley"...Indy500....has an old Indy Car Starter. These starters look like a 50 cal. machine gun that they stick the barrel of it into the rear of the Car...Rev-it-up! You could weld onto the barrel of the starter...

    Pouring a Shop floor...for heavy machine work.

    Anyone have any ideas, plans, or information as to making a great flat surface to work on heavy machines; tractors, trucks ect? From the ground up. For some reason, working on tractors on an uneven dirt floor doesn't seem to work the best. thanks

    Swapping out Farmall M engines?

    Great photo..."a thousand words". You wouldn't happen to have the plans for those bracing units you have for the tractor would you? I like the way they look and appear to function. thanks
