Sistered Farmall Ms

At the 1964 Iowa State Fair they had an exhibit that
I think was called the Farm Gadget Show. Someone
had taken the front ends off of two Farmall Ms and
mated them together to make a 'kind of' 4 wheel
drive tractor. Does anyone remember seeing anything
like that or know who owned that unit? Obviously it
made an impression on me to still remember it almost
50 years later. Thanks.
 
There have been pictures on this forum of various tractors tied together several times. Just something to look at, perhaps not to remember specifically. Some people just like to do that.
 
That was common back in the 50s and 60s kind of like farmer's homemade 4 wheel drive. One operator would run a 90 to 100 hp unit that was 4X4.
 
In the early '60's Dad and I hooked a Farmall F 20 behind our Farmall 400. drove the 400 (front tractor with front wheels). Worked good! When we brought the 560 diesel it was traded in with a F30 hooked to it pulling a 5x16 IH # 70 plow hooked to it on a new 806 Diesel. At the time we got the 560 Dad and I decided not to take the F 30 and plow. Big mistake! A friend of ours west of Danforth, Il. had mounted corn pickers on a MTAD and a 560D. When the corn pickers came off the front ends also came off and an articulated was put on with the 560D in the rear and the MTAD in the front. Drove from the rear tractor. Sad to say to my knowledge no pictures exist of this Hitch. I remenber in the early 70's the 560D had a rear mount cab and fasthitch field cultivator hooked and was still hooked to the front. Not sure when the tractors were seperated and sold but I want to thinked the hitch was sold as scrap at that time. Armand
