Maybe someone else parted it and he bought the head. Maybe i'm wrong or missed the part that he parted a good tractor for just the head. I don't know the story. [Reply]  [No Email]

LOL in reply to 43warhorse, 01-01-2013 20:32:59   Guys, Proves the theory of interchangeable parts., A Fool and is Money are easily separated! and Also anything can be done with enough time and Money!! I am toe to toe with all Y'all about this being a frankenstien tractor. But I agree I would never Knock-in-Head a decent tractor/s to build Frankenstein! He Found dead tractors first, so he in is mind must not have thought he was Killing a perfectly good tractor! Though I Know of 2 units I would like to build But were NOT Factory built, #1- 64-66 Chevy PU C-30 4x4 (has the 9 ft long narrow bed! #2- 73-79 F-350, Super Camper Special, 140 in.wb. 4x4 (this bed has the Spare, mounted behind a removable 1/4 panel in front of RR tire) Both units would require 2 trucks to build 1. The #1 would be the large loss for C-30 long narrow bed, and a 3/4 4x4s are scarcer than Hens teeth! Back to my opening statement..... Anything can be built, with enough time and money, and the money is separated from that man! Later, John A. [Reply]  [No Email]

LOL in reply to John A., 01-02-2013 09:12:19   John, you reminded me of a neighbor back in the 70"s who built a 66 Chevy 3/4 4x4 (his was a long wide bed). If I run into him again I want to ask him if the truck was factory, or he actually took multiple trucks to build. I believe he rebuilt a total. Either way, he kept that truck many years, and I know he probably repainted it 2 or 3 times after the original rebuild. Not sure what type drivetrain it had, but the truck always had a gear whine to it like no other truck around, but then again I had nothing to compare it to as that was one of the few 4x4 pickups from that era around. Almost had to be the transfer case whining, as there were a lot of 4 speed trucks around but none whined like that? [Reply]  [No Email]

LOL in reply to Ron-MO, 01-02-2013 16:31:38   Ron,In the 64/66 series pickups there were less than 10,000 total units built, Factory with 4x4. (That is 1/2 & 3/4 tons, 1 ton were not put into production till late 67/72 series, maybe some later>) All factory units in the 60/66 series were Divorced Transfer cases. The Married units started with the 67series and went on from there >. FYI Ford didn't drop the Divorced systems till about 78.

LO in reply to DeltaRed, 01-02-2013 07:18:27   Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see I have no problem whatsoever with combining the GOOD parts from several different, derelict, will never run again, tractors, cars, etc., and assembling them all into one very useable machine. The American farmer has been doing that very thing for several generations now and quite a few of those creations made a real impact in the agriculture industry. If it weren't for a certain blacksmith/tinkerer named Cyrus McCormick, we may not have the modern combine of today. I also do not have a problem with installing a Chevy V8 engine into a Farmall M with an original engine that is just total scrap iron, but I DO have a problem when I see a Farmall 300 that runs just fine and is a fine looking tractor with relatively LOW production numbers, turned into a tractor that looks just like any other Farmall H of which 350,000 were produced and most of them still exist.

LOL in reply to 43warhorse, 01-01-2013 20:32:59   If I had the time I would make one, provided I could do it without destroying two good tractors. Cost to build would not be too much more than restoring a H or 300, which are easy to get $6000 into. Should be able to do it for less than $10000, based on what my restorations cost. Nothing wrong with an SHTA as long as the builder doesn't pass it off as original. [Reply]  [No Email]

I told him they didn't. He said there was one three rows over. I suggested he go back and find the serial tag. Wound up we both met again at said tractor. Of course there was no tag, I told him there are a number of these out there where guys took a super H and a 300 and made a HTA out of them.
