Ok Mike here's some with a bit more detail. I haven't figured out how to add captions under each picture so...

My fairly straight KB-8. One of this winters projects. Hope to make it my produce delivery vehicle for next season.

'49 cub with 1 row cultivator. Earns it's keep all summer. Gift from my dad for my 9th birthday.

'54 MTA with 4200 JD rollover plow and the 3 point I fabricated this spring.(Hasn't quite gotten final design approval, so no paint)

1 row New Holland spud digger behind '44 M that pulled about 2400# of tubers out of the ground for me a couple weeks ago.

Wow! very nice. I know it's wrong to covet but you are making it very hard. I bet that plow makes the old girl snort a little.
 
Thanks Paul. I haven't had the chance to try the plow in to many different conditions. The ol' gal pulled it 8" deep in 3rd with the TA in high for the most part in the old sod ground I turned over this spring. Had to lift it up an inch every once in a while, and use the TA in tough patches. I even tried it in 4th when the pullin was easy... Didn't last long though.

Glad ya enjoy the pics.

Ben, Thanks for sharing and you certainly live in a beautiful place. Would that be southern Idaho or one of the neighboring states as it appears to be some of the Rockies in the background? Thanks again and your pictures were very nice to adore, Hal.
 
Where is the rocks,here in WV the ground doesnt look so black,If you were plowing around here you would have to drop a bottom or find another gear,Also I noticed there no hills,A man could fall a sleep out there

Thanks Hal, and you are welcome.

My little corner of Paradise happens to be the very far northern reaches of the State of(hate to admit)California. The hills in the background are the foothills of the Marble Mountains, which peaks top at about 7500' above sea level.

Ben, the Trinity Alps region of Northern California is one beautiful place and trust the Marble Mountains are probably part of that most beautiful region of the state. As I recall, the area between I-5 and the coast is pretty rugged and your plowed area doesn't look like it would fit into that area so you must be over closer to I-5 I'm guessing where there is some flatter terrain. I've been in many areas of all the western states and I wouldn't have guessed California for that background. Again, thanks for sharing the pictures, Hal.
 
The Trinity Alps are south and a bit west of here, Hal. I was lucky to be able to move to the Scott River Valley. It's a small flat place carved into the side of the mountains. The hills are pretty steep right from the bottom of the valley. I'm about 15 miles west of I-5. It's only about 90 miles from the coast as the crow flies, but it's a 4 hour drive no matter which route you take.
Fortunately, most of the time I'm able to ignore the fact that this IS part of California...

I guess you could say we are mirror images of each other as I am on the East Coast with a SMTA, KB-5, '47 Cub. No M but would a SH and H equal a M?

We both like to fabricate hitches and make them look professional or factory-built. Nice job there. Looks like you hired a computer aided burner. I do the same. Sometimes it doesn't cost alot to take pride in your work.

As for starting a produce stand or raising a cash crop, I can't see that happening. There is a big enough market here, but the woodchucks and deer would wipe me out.

Thanks for the pictures.
 
That is the strongest looking 3-point I have ever seen on an M Family tractor.
Nice collection.
