Two more Farmalls

Dennis K (WA) · Jul 11, 2012

These two Farmall C's both 1949 came home with me on Monday. I went to look at some cultivator parts in cental Washington and ended up with two tractors and a pile of loose parts. The one with the plow runs very well but the one with cultivator is stuck. So, there are some unknowns on that one.
They will join another 49 C under construction. I also have a completed A, a H, and an AC B. Also in the shed is a running T6 and a Ford Jubilee.
We do not farm so I guess that makes these toys.

That veggie cult on the one is rare and does the former owner have the shovels ect for it.

The two way mounted plow isn't exactally everywhere either. Cool find.

Hello Gene,
I did end up with a few tools but not a set and missing most of the clamps to hold them on. I suspect they had other tractors to use them on. I'll just have to keep an eye out for some.
I also have another cultivator system that is similar but is also tool less for now.

Hey Dennis, whereabouts in Washington are you? I'm in Ellensburg. Don't see too many posts from this side of the country.

I have two of them for the A and the clamps are scarce some clamps take the round shanks and most did use a flat bar shank on those cults and when they do show up for sale they sure bring big bucks. I have lots of the clamps for the different size flat bar but not too many for the round shanks. I was lucky i did find one that had lots of tooling even got a couple of the discs they sure do work well hilling up the potatoes. Need to get one restored on the A and put the four row fert attachment on. They also had the same typr of a cult for the B and BN I could rig up a four row set-up on a BN another project. Looks like yours has the long bars that would do 6 rows 15 on center. I know some that sure could use one of those on a C,SC in their veggie crops. One like yours brought 450.00 went from Calif to OHIO. There is a company making the clamps for the flat bar tooling getting 50.00 ea. You have a piece that will bring some serious money cause just try and find a new cult that will do up to 6 rows they just done make them any more. Great find.

Gene, thanks for the info. The cultivating systems are new to me as my background is with IH Construction Equip. There are not near as many options and variations in that field as in farming equip, but it has been interesting. I do have the clamps for the rear round bar tooling but not the flat bar for the front.
It appears the front cultivators are for a different model tractor. The mounting plate bolt pattern does not match the C but has been torched to fit. Any ideas as to what machine it was designed for ? 200 maybe?
see picture.

sflem849- I thought it was unique also and had an influence on the purchase.

Hayfarmer- We are in Ridgefield which is just north of and borders Vancouver Wa. The tractors came out of Toppenish. I knew the fellow had some cultivator parts and I had seen the tractors before but was not interested then. But now he made a deal I could not refuse.
I thought there were some somewhat rare items involved and near new tires.
Thanks
Dennis

Dont realy know why the torch deal. Round shanks can be used also but when you start going narrow rows the shovels are smaller and they had a bunch of different styles for different crops types of soil and the list goes on. Thats why different pieces of the flat bar were used and also the end on the flatbar shanks were changed for the shovels used. I have the owners manual for those used on the A the B,BN,Cand SC would have used the same shovels for the many types of soil and crops. Even have a few shovels with the I-H mark also many aftermarket ones were used. Is the rear square bar the same as on the front as that would also take different holders.I see you have the 100in rear axles. I sure wish i had that set-up as it sure would be fun to restore and show here in IOWA. Not too many even know about all the stuff that was available for those small tractors. I have two one-way plows like on the other C for the B,BN Both raise with the exhaust system although i do have the levers to make them hand lift.

200, 230, and 240 all have the same mounting holes as the C/Super C...

Gene, sounds like you are equipped for cultivating. I don't have a job for mine but fun to work with. If we were closer maybe we could do some horse trading but Iowa is a long ways.
The bars on both ends are the same size, 1 3/8'' but the rears are horizonal and the fronts are at a 45 deg angle. So you are right, different holders.
I have posted a pic of my other C which also has cultivators but a little different again. this tractor is apart and being restored. Hope to paint by end of summer.
Thanks for info, Gene

mk - thanks for info on 200 series also
