Patrick HMD 03-06-2013 03:09:03 75.0.226.4 Report to Moderator	I'm wanting to try to duplicate this decal for my new pipe seat, and I need a little information por favor. 1. The column on the extreem right is a unit of measure that I am not familiar with. Can someone give me a clue? 2. Can I assume that the background color is yellow? 3. Some of the numbers are a little blurry. Does anyone have a better view of the legend? TIA Patrick '49M [Reply]   [No Email]

It wasn't necessary, but yet one gentleman has already thanked me for posting that picture. Well, anyhow, I had the info all along. I just hadn't dug deep enough. I just recently purchased from ebay an owners manual for the M,MV published in 1945. All the info is on page 55. I'm more than willing to share that info with anyone needing it who doesn't have the manual. Oh well, it generated some good discussion anyway, and I've learned about bars as a unit of measure. I'm now recalling the weatherman using that term, especially during an impending hurricane. This week I learned about bars, last week I learned about chains as a unit of measure on this forum. Ain't it great! Thanks guys Patrick '49M This post was edited by Patrick HMD at 13:30:50 03/06/13. [Reply]  [No Email]

The background is indeed yellow. Just to make being historically correct extra tricky, International Harvester sometimes continued to use older designs here after ceasing production in the U.S.A. There are late forties and early fifties tractors which left the IH factory in Geelong with the pipe seat. Similarly, the cast iron gear knob was used right through the 1950s on the Farmall and AW-6 and AW-7 tractors. The same applies to some decals. We had some decals in Australia, which did not appear in the U.S.A. My 1939 Farmall M decals have a black M with two black circles around them as per normal, but are not on a white background. The same goes for the FARMALL emblem on the engine cover. The letters just show black over the red paint. The decals carried part number AP 46. If you go to www.museumvictoria.com.au you can search for 'International Harvester' or 'Farmall' pictures and see various items of interest.

Bar being short for barometer, where 1 bar = standard air pressure or 14.7PSI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_%28unit%29 [Reply]  [No Email]

Weredo you store the handle on a wide front with no electrics. My 1949 M is the last M to be imported into the UK before production started at the Doncaster UK factory. MJ [Reply]  [No Email]

I can respect that, and you are right my friend, no need to argue about it. My M will by any means be a purest's dream. That's my choice Sir. Respectfully Patrick '49M [Reply]  [No Email]
