The Regular was the name of the tractor prior to the F-20. It is actually printed on the decals. The Regular was upgraded and modified to become the F-20. The F series tractors were discontinued in late 30's but I am not sure of the actual cut off date on each model. Farmall came out with a whole new line of tractors. This would later include the cub clear up to the M and W-9. These tractors were often compared with the earlier ones but were entirely different. They were streamlined, had battery start, lights, generator, road gear, and hydraulics. Why would IHC Farmall replace the F-20 with the H when the F-20 would out pull the H any day of the week? They clearly wasn't trying to modify or upgrade the F series when they issued the new line of tractors. The engine, frame, transmission, tin work, and so on was completely changed. They were simply issueing a new line of tractors however the closest tractor from one series to the next was probably (I say probably) the F-20 to the H and the F-30 to the M. The F-20 and H were considered 2 plow tractors and the F-30 and the M were considered 3 plow tractors depending on what kind of ground you were plowing. In good ground you could pull more and in really tuff ground maybe less. Just depends on your soil. These tractors were compared to one another in this way but one really wasn't modified or upgraded from the other or was meant to replace the other since there was a difference (a decrease)in horse power. I am not sure which had more power between the M and F-30. If you had a 1938 F-20 and traded it in for a new tractor in 1939 the closest tractor in the new line would of been the H. However the H had just a little less power and the M would of had considerable more. Saying one of these tractors replaced the other is about like saying you got a computer to replace your calculator. It did replace it and had so many extras but how can you actually compare one to the other and say it replaced it. You just say you got a computer.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
