got the horses out of the stable

truckerlary · May 19, 2012

Got all the tractors out and cleaned all the winter dirt off them. Getting them ready to go to a show or two. Just finished refurbishing the 400. Turned out nice. Just thought everyone might enjoy looking at a few nice farmalls and a lone MF. The MF belonged to my father in law so had to keep it. I know some of you like them better in their work clothes but sometimes they look good in their sunday best. Enjoy Larry

Nice row of old girls . I understand about the inlaws tractor I have 2 1950 Case DC's that were the father in laws and the wife says I gotta keep them . They are a nice change from the reliable red machines! Kenny

I love how youve got the progression of the M up to the 450!!

DeltaRed · May 19, 2012

All you need is an F-30, and a 560 to fillout the set.While you're at it...806,856,966,986...Good lookin'tractors!!

John M · May 19, 2012

The F30 wasnt replaced by the M, the F20 was. (Wont argue that, just stating the way it was)Besides, he doesnt have any of the one you mentioned there.....

rhtx55 · May 19, 2012

Regular, F20, H, SUPER H, 300, 350

F30, M, SUPER M, 400, 450

mkirsch · May 19, 2012

Yeah, but the F30 doesn't have any parts or design commonality with the M. Super M, MTA, 400, 450, and 560, though, are direct lineage.

John M · May 19, 2012

"In any event, IH sale literature instucted its dealers to sell the H as a replaement for the F-12. Meanwhile, they were to promote the A/B as an entirely new tractor, which was certainly true, and sell the M as a replacement to the F-20"

Guy Fays Originality Guide, Page 59 , 2nd paragraph, last sentence.

Also, someone on here, maybe Guy, said why would you replace a tractor with one of less HP!!!

NICE!

Very nice fleet you have there!

You wouldn't happen to have a better picture of the hydraulic valve setup on the SM? I haven't seen valves installed there before, from a distance it's looks pretty clean.

Still trying to figure out what I'm going to so with my SM.

Thanks,

K

Beautiful collection.

And very wise to keep the sacrificial massey there in place to protect them against crazy drivers coming up your drive etc.

CNKS · May 20, 2012

I agree with kopeck, please show the SM hydraulics, as I want to modify mine.

Hayfarmer · May 20, 2012

you have to be careful housing those different breeds of tractor together all winter. Story is that a few years back someone housed an Ih and Case together and look what happened.

truckerlary · May 20, 2012

I'll try and get a picture tomorrow of the
hydraulics on the super m. It is a live pump going
thru what I think is a double set of char-lyn
valves. The M has the same set-up with a live pump.
Both also have char-lyn power steering.

truckerlary · May 20, 2012

Here's a couple pictures each of the M and the
Super M. The first 2 pics are of the M using the
belly pump as a reservoir. If you need better pics
let me know and I'll try to get some.

CNKS · May 20, 2012

Thanks, the SM I am currently "restoring" had a similar setup, yours is a LOT neater.

kopeck · May 21, 2012

Thanks.

I have a Char-Lynn valve like the ones on on your M. I kind of like how they are mounted on the M, never thought about putting them up on the bell housing.

At least I have more ideas now.
