Wardner: I cut a slot in rear wheels and hook chains to wheel and the front of the trailer. It pulls itself up on 3 2x8 planks.

I found the tractor in a salvage yard about 10 yrs. ago. Brought it home changed oil,filled rad and added a battery and it fired right up. It has a dual range transmision,which is great for rolling lawns as it travels in reverse at about 3-4 mph. I placed ad in local news paper Lawn Roller for Hire and could not believe the responce. The phone rings off the hook from about the last week in March until the 2nd week in May. Can't take credit for the idea though. The owner of the local IH dealer has built 2 or 3 of them.

It seems to me that if you hit something incompressible near the outside edge of the front roller, you might have to go to the emergency room for reattachment surgery. Ouch!!!

Nice, Do you use it for any rolling or mostly collector tractor?

Nice looking H roller!

This is a somewhat similarly modified M. Notice however on this one the roller bands are fitted over the standard tires.

Bob: I've seen this before, maybe not that particlar M, but as I recall those were almost a fixture on Upstate NY dairy farms especially where land was a bit stony. They used these to roll down stones every spring in alfalfa stands. Stones heaved up by winter frosts. If the haybine didn't catch the stone, it was unlikely forage harvester would.

I first saw this when a NY dairy farmer, "Louis Longo", was guest speaker and a judge of forage competition. This was a winter meeting of the Alantic Canada Soils and Crops Assoc. meeting in 1976. Mr. Longo did a slide presentation on his own as well as other farms in Upstate NY. I know two bus tours of Nova Scotia dairy farmers called on the Longo Farm after that.

They all came home wanting to build these rollers. For a year or so, it hardly safe to leave an old Farmall idle. Apparently the idea never worked too well on two cylinder Deere's. The time frame on firing left spin and scuff marks in the alfalfa.

I remember driving across Upstate NY from Buffalo into western MA a few years after that and I did see a few of these around farms. I never did build one myself.

Hugh - I spotted this one in "cabbage country" - somewhere north of the ridge in the area around Albion NY.

There's other rollers still scattered around here, though none a nice-looking as this one!!

Bob: When you think about it, most of those Farmalls were about 1/2 as old as they are now when I drove through there in 1979. but then so was I. I'll bet the Farmalls haven't gone down hill as much as I have. Now I am speaking from a low point, I'm now being told what I had for the past two weeks was pneumonia.

I haven't been around YT much in the past two weeks. The Doc. had me on one of the new wonder drugs, that can knock anything out of your system, even common sence. I'd come to the computer, look it over, then walk away. I was also having some quite wilde dreams. I even woke up one morning thinking I was reading a post Marg. made on YT. I guess that is what woke me up, I knew that part couldn't be true.

This is also why you folks never heard tell of us to and from PA. It never happened. Probably going to be 2 or 3 weeks now before I feel up to that.

Now that is cool!!!

I like seeing different applications. Better yet is to see them on the job in vintage photos or comtempory real-life. One can only be bored when looking at a never ending line of identical H's at a show. There is a salvage yard in CT that has (or used to have) the remains of a 460 based paver. It was red as well.

If that is yours, how do you load it without a winch?

Is that a Fairbanks-Morse mag?

Do you have oversized pecs?
