My Father-in-law and I cleared about 1/4 acre of brush with these old machines the day after Thanksgiving. Everyone likes pictures so I figured I would share.

I believe it is a McCormick Powerloader #20. You can still see the decal on the side so I will check it out when I get a chance.

Thanks for the pictures. I have a soft spot for the A. It was the first tractor I was around as a kid.

Where are you in Maryland?? we are in Southern Md (Waldorf) This '41 A has been on the farm since the approximately '45 and it never fails to do anything you ask it to.

I am located in Frederick county 5 miles from Thurmont. I used to have an A like yours if it wasnt for my d... crazy exwife I would probably still have it. I see the plow levers on it. Do you plow with it? I have a 48 super A now with a mower like in the pictures.

We have a belly blade, belly mower, belly plow, and fertilizer/sead spreader for the A. My Father-in-law has been using ALL of the impliments for a long time. We are just hobby guys now but he spent many years in the field with tobacco. I believe the mower is from a super A or 140 with the front wheels cut off to fit this A.

33 sounds familiar. I couldnt remember the numbers.

I feel sorry for the A with the radiator grille pushed in like that. Maybe you could take the grille off & use a couple of planks [2x10's] inside it with a jack under a wagon to straighten it a bit. We've been very successful getting grilles into shape using the jack approach.

Nice looking tractors! I'm especially excited to finally see an H with a loader like mine. I've attached a picture of my tractor so that you can see the similarities. Mine has a solid fill-in on the sides of the loader. Yours has a stylish pattern with open areas. Very cool.
Are those angle iron pieces an aftermarket item? My loader doesn't have those. I bet they give it a good bit of support for extra heavy loads.
I love my Farmall and McCormick loader. Truly a beautiful tractor and very useful, indeed.
Thanks for posting your pics.

I love using it. It surely takes alot longer than a modern loader but once you get used to the controls it gets the job done.
Yes, the angle iron was added by the previous owner for added support.

Nope, cant touch it. It has been the only tractor on the farm since the mid '40's and it runs like it is brand new. I mentioned restoring it but it is a work tractor and has a ton of history and caracter the way it sits.
I am interested in your process for my H resto if you can explain it more.

just saying why i say 33a.
Ours has a trip bucket, and when the decals were still barely visible i remember them saying 33a. It was purchased new (NOS?--he said it was old but new) in the 60s from a dealer by my dad. The bucket does have 2 sets of pivot holes, so it is likely hydraulic bucket ready. It may also have holes for the cylinder brackets in the frame. maybe the "a" is like the TA in MTA where not all had the option?
The neighbor had a massey harris with a 33a on it with the hydraulic bucket. i seem to remember comparing the two loaders and thinking the brackets looked like they would bolt right on ours.
