Had the twins out today

Old-F20 · Jul 23, 2011

Had my two 1935 W-30's out today getting ready for our state show which happens to be featuring 'W' series IH. The orchard came out of northen Cali out of a Walnut grove. Everything inside is mechanically new, but i like to original look so i leave it the way it is. My standard W-30 is all original and has never been overhauled. I plow about 40 acres a year with it. enjoy

Those are nice looking old machines. They sure do look heavy, do
you trailer them together or do you take one at a time?

Nice pair. But what about little brother 39?

(quoted from post at 20:44:53 07/23/11) Nice pair. But what about little brother 39?

the 39 will be a long time off. I need to find not only a rear rim, but the cast center as well. The fluid ate up a decent portion of it and i was out diggin with a screwdriver and got big chunks to come loose. plus it need front tires too so i figure it will get a complete restoration, new tires and paint :?

Pair of nice tractors!! I have a question but not sure how to word so it makes sense but here goes.... I noticed in the pics that there was two different style lug patterns on the rear wheels.
Back in the day, did the original buyer(s) have options as to lug patterns they could get? Or was it more or less up to IHC or the dealer? Or maybe regional according to soil types?

nice looking tractors you have there.

F-20 fronts will also fit the front of a W-30. Just knock the spacing ring out. I have F-20 spokes on the front of my W-30.

The gentleman i bought the orchard from told me about the rear lugs when i picked it up. There was a company back in the day based out of L.A. called Schmeizer and they made specialty lugs for the different types of soil in california. He had two other tractors there with different lugs on them, and i saw another one in the Hedrick ag museum while we were there

In the back of the letter series parts book there is a section with all the different options for steel wheels/lugs. It is kind of interesting.

Nice pair of tractors! The original look holds it's value, as you can not get this from a can. I have a 1930 McDeering 10-20 not running or restored and a very pretty 1942 "H". They are both dear to me. American history. If only THEY could talk! Enjoyed your pics! Now you enjoy your pair!!
