Farmall 756 Out In The Cold and Snow

Got bored watching TV, so thought I'd try to start the 756 gasser and collect a jag of firewood my oldest boy cut last week.

Started easy enough, but the solenoid on the starter didn't kick into the flywheel a couple of times, I assume this is cold weather related, but
when it did, two cranks, the engine fired off and I was on my way.

We have a balmy 19 degs on one thermometer and 13 degs on another one. I guess I need a 3rd to see which one is right - LOL! Bottom line
- it is cold and windy. As long as I stayed moving around, I was warm.

I don't complain about the cold as I'm sure back in the day, these old gassers were used very frequently in sub zero temps with harsh winds
and no cabs.

But is was good to get out of the house and spend some time outside with the IH.

Keep an eye out for a Heat Houser or similar enclosure for your tractor. One on a gas tractor can make a windy -10F day feel pleasant.
 
Farmall?? It says International!! I ask a couple weeks back what the indicator is as to what it was decaled and got several conflicting answers. That looks like a tricycle row crop so shouldn't it be decaled a Farmall? :?
 
My understanding is "Farmall" variants of these tractors were row crop tractors. The manuals speaks to "International" and "Farmall" as does tractordata. The 706/806 tractors had "Farmall" on the hood side. The 756 and 856 has "International" on the hood side and "Farmall 756 or Farmall 856" on the lower side sheet metal of at the radiator as shown in the pic from my 756.

I didn't see that those answers that you got were conflicting, just that you insisted that they were.
 
May I sidetrack your post a little? Does anyone know who first called the first 'Farmall' a 'Regular'? I assume Regular was coined after the 'Farmall 20' was introduced. What's the folklore to the name?

Yep - unless you're going south at 3 mph and the breeze is outa the north at 5. :shock:
 
Never seemed to be enough on our Massey 285 while hauling manure. Never seemed to put out much heat.

Massey 165 gas with the loader seemed to put out a decent amount loading the spreader or moving the pile from one spot to another.

The Oliver 1855 was really only ever used to plow the fields with the weather break on.

I'm pretty sure you got a history lesson on the whole badging thing with IH in that thread but here's the Cliff Notes version:

Row crop tractors were badged "Farmall" in large letters on the side of the hood from the first Farmall "Regular", through the 06 series. When the 56 series came out IH changed styling and moved the Farmall down to the number emblem as shown above. This continued through the "white stripe" 66 series, but with the "black stripe" 66 series in late 1975, the Farmall name was removed permanently.
 
I am at present the proud owner of an International 460. According to the repair manual, internationals were utility tractors, and Farmall were row crop tractors. I once owned a 560 which was a row crop and it was labeled Farmall, but the 460 is badged or labeled, whichever, as International. The 560 was still a McCormick.
