A few more pics.

Case is the featured manufacturer this year, but IHC is very well represented!

I am not sure, but it could have 16.9 x38 tires on tires on the rear, i got 14.9x38 on mine, and this does look bigger!!!! so maybe they are.

Is the pedal tractor mounted to the frame of the narrow front v8? Nice pics.

 

[Bob M]

Yup - that's a 1468 pedal tractor spare hung on the side rail.

And if you look closely the pedal tractor has it's own tiny 1468 hung on it's side...

 

[Bob M]

Tires were definitely bigger than 14.9's (I have 14.9 x 38's on my Super M too)

Incidentally this SM and mine left the factory in Louisville within a few days of each other....their serial numbers are only 100 or so apart.

That H on steel was probably made shortly after my grandfathers H which was one of the last on rubber due to WWII. I still have it, running great after 80 years. Those old binder trucks were beauties too.

Was a real nice show and beautiful weather.

BOB - Farmall was only sending parts enough to LVL to build 50 SM's a day. There was a guy in Production Forecasting near my desk who's first job at FARMALL was torquing heads on Farmall Regular's. He had been around during EVERY new model Start-up ever made at FARMALL, including the switch from 86-series to 5088, 5288, 5488, 3088, 3288, 3488, & 3688. And from the 33,35,& 3788's to 63, 65, & 6788's.
Herschel Smith was his name. Just crazy the amount of history about Farmall he knew.
