Hiya all. I haven"t been around because I haven"t had the money to do anything towards my "46 H at all. So, I"ve been bumming about when it comes to that subject. A couple of times I"ve considered just selling it and giving up on the idea of restoration. But, I haven"t caved yet. Anyway, last couple of days I was thinking about the front end. I"ve always assumed I was going to replace the IH wide front with a narrow front. Reason why is because my Grandfather"s H was a narrow, and a narrow front has always meant "Farmall" to me.
But now I don"t know. Does this tracotr have to be exactly like his? No.
Is an original wide front end more collectable? Maybe.
What would be easier to haul? I think the wide would be easier! I could put it on a standard car carrier, which would be lighter and cheaper to get, right? I"ve never seen a 3 track carrier, so I assumed I would have to get a flat bed, which are heavy and expensive. Another thought I had was that I could sell the front end for $700-800 and use that money towards restoration. But I don"t know if that"s possible around here or not. Anyway, our back yard is going to get started soon (the next money project I have) And then I have to buy and build shelves in the garage, and build a work bench... THEN we have to have a garage sale so I can get rid of a TON of stuff... all so that I have the room to actually bring this tractor home to start working on it. I really wanted to have it done by the summer so I could use it in parades and shows. But that isn"t going to happen, unfortunately.

Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
