Farmall B with Touch Control

Both the A and B in these pictures are Frameall experimental models. Some parts of this system eventually became the Touch-Control system. There was evidently an experimental Touch-Control B built as well.

Guy Fay had an article about the Frameall design in a Red Power several years ago. Based just on appearance, it looks to me that some of the Frameall design found its way into the Fast-Hitch designs.
 
The last 125 Farmall B's made came with a C block in them. These blocks had the opening in block for live hydraulic pump.
 
Nope, that is not a Touch Control.

That is a legendary FRAMEALL B prototype.

You read right, FRAME, not farm. Not a whole lot known about the FrameAll system. Only two known to exist today, an A and a B IIRC.

There was an article in Red Power a couple of years ago about the FrameAll B, how it was found at an auction, and how the owner of the FrameAll A had an extra hydraulic unit that was fitted to this B.
 
The local CaseIH dealer has a B with touch control on his showroom floor, says he bought it that way. I haven't looked and probably can't tell to try to determine if the engine torque tube and levers were off a C or a Super A, and the wheels are the wrong color. The dealer was a Case dealer at the time of the merger and doesn't know any better. The tractor was restored in their shop and looks nice if you don't know the difference.
 
True, NEVER from the factory, but rumor has it that some of the very last B engines have the boss for the hydraulic pump. Evidently they were using early production Super A or C blocks to finish off the last B production.

I love people who say they "bought it that way" as if that makes it original. Yeah, you bought it that way, in 2006.

Swapping in a Super A block and bell housing is just a matter of some wrench turning and heavy lifting...
 
Looks like to me all these units were experimental. So much of IH history is lost to us because no record has been published. I still know of an experimental C built prior to the end of WWII with a four cylinder flat head engine. (The military did not use two cylinder engines or flat head engines during the war.) I can't find the C now and it most likely was scrapped in the late 1960's.
 
I'd like to see some documentation on a C with a flathead engine. It seems unlikely.

I can't speak to 2-cylinder engines one way or the other, but the military used plenty of flathead engines during WWII.
 
I have a 1947 Farmall B that has been in the family since it was new. Like I said it came from the factory with a C block which would take the live hydraulic pump. In the mid 50's my dad put the pump on it and built a loader with full hydraulics.

hat is the serial number?
 
Bump. Thought this was a cool thread because I just read the Red power article about the Frame All B. Wicked cool. I would love to find a developmental Frame all..
