Very nice line up. You should be proud of these looks like a lot of work went to these. I wish I just had that green grass down here in south central Texas.

Great looking line up, and I am especially glad to see them painted as IH would have had them, not a hint of clear coat or gloss hardener.

Nice to see that C with the cultivators all mounted. Maybe now I can use that photo to figure where all the bits I have are supposed to go.

Nice looking lineup there Pard,

Any special reason why the shields are mounted inside out and backwards on the cultivator?

No particular reason other than I never used them, and thought they looked good that way....Easy to swap if that is the case though! My 15 year old completely restored and painted the cultivator setup last summer. He was and still is proud of them!

I hope it helps! It wasn't too bad for us, most of the things were together when we got them. We still are looking for one more clamp and shovel assembly like the ones you see there. If anyone has one like that for a reasonable cost, give me a holler!

The picture was taken at our Thresherman's association in Dalton,
Mn. The boom you see is called a stiff legged crane, and we use it
at the show to lift and move whole trees to send to the steam
powered sawmill. Our show is always the weekend following Labor
Day, so if you ever need something to do that weekend, come on
up and say hi! I am the guy who runs the PTO and Belt Pulley Dyno
tests...

Oh yeah,

He did a heck of a nice job.

The only thing I see out of place is that clamp around the rear axle; they were red instead of blue. :>)

Tell the boy that there is an old man in Nebraska that the cultivator brought back a heck of a lot of memories to. :>)

The only thing wrong with them is, they are in your barn and not mine. Great looking tractors.

I THINK that show is OBSCENE.I am so GREEN EYED JEALOUS that I will have to lay down in a dark room till that vision of lovliness passes. Everthing I have is in a state of ressurection. Hope the good sheperd lets me complete some of my projects. Dont farm any more. Decided a poor mans lot and farming meant for a sore back and a lonesome pocketbook. Was a child on a dirt farm in DE during wwII. Farmers all around were well-off and prosperous. Walking behind horses was not my cup of tea but hunger knows no bounds, so learn to farm I did. Good Book told me farmers were in for a hard time ,So in search of knowledge I went.That was good but the feeling I got when I fixed something was second to none and thats how I was until I retired. Cant farm farm this high desert in so cal. CC

Man, I thought that was the for sure color piece I got right! The ones that came original with the tractor were blue. Darn! Oh well. Here are a couple of pictures of the before....

The axle clamp was blue when it came from the first owner; this is original to this cultivator to the best of my knowledge.

VERY nice tractors! Excellent! Looking at that M makes me wish mine was running. I like all your tractors, but the H and M with IH wide fronts are my favorites.
