new toy coming

Bill Bowen · Jan 1, 2011

I have a new toy coming this spring.A 1947 M to keep my 1947 H company.I will be asking a lot questions when she gets home.It's something but I am older than both those girls,but I am going to have fun.You guys helped me out when I was working on my H.I am going to try to post some pictures of H playing in snow.

Congrats Bill. I'd love to have a M. I just haven't run across a deal on one yet. My Dad claims it was the best tractor he ever used. He hasn't used my 766 yet.lol Love the H snow pics. Keep them coming. Kent

If you like your H you're going to love the M. Just finishing one up now. Congrats!

Good luck with the new toy. I like that plow setup. Did you build it, and do you have closeup pics of the way it mounts? It is exactly what I want to do to my H.

jason I bought it from a tobacco farmer whose son was tired of plowing the access roads out in the open.He made it himself,very very well made.The frame is in two parts.The nose piece bolts to the bolster,the long frame bolts to the nose piece and to the drawbar.I will try to get some more pictures.Bill

I sure would appreciate it Bill. It does look very well built, even professional. My e-mail should be open. Thanks.

Bill Bowen · Jan 4, 2011

Jason,I didn't know how to find your email address so I will post some more pictures here. Bill

Thank you very much Bill. That will help out tremendously. Of course now that I'm wanting to go ahead and build a plow, we're below average on snowfall for the year! Thanks again Bill, I'll post pics when I get to the project.

Jason even without the snow it will look good on the tractor.I am wondering if my setup will fit on the M.I have a front mounted buzz saw for the H,but I think the frontend on the M is going to be to wide.Any ideas.Where are you located.I am in CT. Bill

Nice plow on that H of yours! We do not have much snow here in Louisiana, but I wonder how it would do as a light bulldozer pushing dirt? I could use that on the back 40 if it would make a light rubber tired dozer.

Charles I don't think a H would be good on dirt without a lot of weight on back.Just my oponion,Bill

Totally agreed. They make tracks for a reason.

And even crawlers struggle with hard pack. Anything more than sand or fresh dirt is a fight at best for a old wheel tractor. They are good for piling small brush and cleaning up though. Md MD weighs right at 8000 lb and working any kind of dirt is difficult.

I'm in Missouri, about 35 miles east of Kansas City.
