I recently purchased a 1943 Farmall M.
I just retired from being a professional pianist, but I grew up with an aviator/farmer father and I used to love to go to the hay fields and the "tractor show room" with daddy. My dream was a bright red Farmall M (I could see eye to eye with the rear axle when I was very small...yet I wanted to drive one!!) Daddy never purchased my dream, but he did buy a used W6 and determined me was driving it with an huge New Holland square baler by the time I was 9. Daddy is now gone and I have no one to answer my questions. I am now almost 66 years old and need some advise on what to do. I have a great mechanic and he has this tractor running to show room specs. It has an aftermarket 3-pt hitch and I would like to get a boom pole that is as sturdy as the tractor can handle. Is 1000 to 1500 lbs. out of the question to lift? What category pole do I need. Where can it be purchased? I only see tubular steel poles available. Does one need to be fabricated?
I know how to plow, disc, harrow etc. Mowing, raking and baling is a specialty, but I need to move things around that need a gin pole.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
