Well, here it is. A 1952 Farmall Super C, with a Henderson front loader. I got the front end put all back together, and now it runs and drives! What do yall think? I think I did pretty good!

Really a sharp looking rig. If it was mine , I would take the front wheel wts off. Mite steer a little easier then. Hang the wts. on the rear for more traction.

Wheat Farmer · Jan 28, 2014

Good Job. Are those angle irons from the blade welded on or removable?

Zachary Hoyt · Jan 28, 2014

That is very nice, especially with the fast hitch that I think I can see on the back. Looks very handy.

Bryce Frazier · Jan 28, 2014

No, he welded the blade to the frame of the loader. I think that because of the weight of the blade, it has bent the loader, and is probably the reason why the loader has been broken, along with the steering problem!
I will probably leave the weights on the front, because my 49 C has a wide front with it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. It will be a lot easier to steer when I take the loader off though! It was all I could do to turn it with one arm when I ran it down the drive way earlier! Bryce

Bryce Frazier · Jan 28, 2014

No, I think you must be seeing the drawbar frame. The guy that I got it from told me that when the guy that he bought it from, bought it brand new, his finances were very limited, and he ended up having to make the choice of Fast Hitch, or a Loader, so he went with the cheapest loader he could find. (wish he had got the fast hitch!) Bryce

Those loader arms are bent from hitting stuff hard, not the weight of the blade.

That's a nice looking tractor, grill looks new compared to most of them, frt weights are cool and hi priced. Now you need to find a fast hitch for it.

gab · Jan 28, 2014

I don't think you could get a fast hitch until 1953

WI Dan · Jan 28, 2014

Congratulations!
Super C is a cool tractor, IMHO. My uncle had one 'til it burned up in a garage fire.

You're lucky to have a tractor, enjoy it and keep up the pictures!! Thank you!!

That loader/dozier set up reminds me of one I have on a Cletrac HG. some who owned it before me cut the loader bucket down to a dozier set up but it will lift 12 foot in the air. From what I see you have something that is very much able to be repaired. It also was probably a trip bucket type loader

I have a '51 Super C with Fast-Hitch; it was retrofitted by the original owner when Fast-Hitches came out.

Hi Bryce, If are happy with your new tractor, we are glad that you like your new Super C , they are a nice machine. Cheers, Murray

I know you could install on older tractors. I bought an instruction manual on e bay that's got 2 or 3 different part numbers for the hitch kits and installation instructions.

Dave H (MI) · Jan 28, 2014

Yeah, that's a very nice tractor. The C and H Farmalls are the only two letter series I don't have one of and I would have bought that one in a heartbeat. Just a quick once over shows that some of the money stuff is there and in good shape. I have looked at the Super C many times. Gonna have to pick one up one of these days.

Geo-TH,In · Jan 28, 2014

I have a 1950 IH C, no loader. I love mine. Use it as a mover, 6 ft woods, and a puller. I put a reese hitch on it, pull dump trailer with it. Good little tractor, cheap too.

Dan in Ohio · Jan 28, 2014

Nice looking rig and usable too and that is coming from a John Deere guy. Loaders are handy to have around, just be careful and practice safety. My Dad rolled his 2510 while working on a side hill behind our barn. Keep the unusual items like the front wheel weights , they will not effect your steering.

SAVE THE LOADER
AND YOUR HEARING by getting rid of the straight pipe!!! Put a muffler on that puppy! As far as the loader goes my theory is if somebody could weld the blade on I can cut it off and replace the bucket! Used buckets are not that hard to find. If you to you can always add power steering. That loader will save you a lot of back aches! Armand

armand tatro · Jan 28, 2014

Just had a thought about your hard steering. Have you checked the oil in the steering gear box and did you give the front end a GOOD greasing?
Armand

gene bender · Jan 28, 2014

Hae you checked the 90wt lube in the steering sector and what is the tire pressure all make a big difference

Bryce Frazier · Jan 28, 2014

If you look in the second picture, the bucket and chains for it are sitting on the deck of the trailer!

I am not sure what I will do with the loader yet. We have a modern 20 horse tractor with 4 wheel drive, and what that won't pick up or move, my Ford 4400 Backhoe will! The bucket has been welded on, however the loader and the bucket both still have the tripper stuff, and the tripper handle for the operator to pull is still on as well! First I am going to cut those two angle irons off, and get rid of the $%^& blade... Then I might try to put the bucket on! Never done it before, but that doesn't mean I can't try! Bryce

Bryce Frazier · Jan 28, 2014

Well, I just went out and took a sawzaw to the blade. I cut both of the bolts and both of the angle irons that were holding it on. The second the blade came off the entire loader looked relieved! I slid the bucket I have for it over to the front of the loader, and the left arm is bent in so far that the bucket doesn't even fit between them!!! I didn't think that it was that badly bent, but it is pretty rough! Tomorrow I am going to tie the loader to a tree, unbolt it from the tractor, and back out from under it. Seems foolproof, right....

Looks like he might have hit something kind of hard and bent something. Snow blades like that need to be able to trip over obstacles, and usually have safety springs.
