Jaquesy said: (quoted from post at 19:49:42 08/27/09) Hi i have just bought a I4 with a winch on the back. Now i was told this tractor was order new in 1951 by erie flooring company of west lorne ontario to move box/rail cars around. I have never seen one with a winch and am wondering what info anyone can tell me about the I4's or how rare is this? Thank you Keith
The I4 is the industrial equivalent of the Farmall H. It shares the same engine and many transmission parts with the H (row crop), the W4 (Wheatland standard tread version), and if there was an O4 (orchard version), that too...
The winch is definitely an add-on. Can you find any lettering in the winch castings that would identify where it came from? Companies were very proud of their products in the 1950's and would make sure that their company name and city of origin were cast prominently into anything they made.
It was very common for specialty companies to buy a bunch of IH tractors and outfit them with equipment for a certain job. That could be the case here, or the Erie Flooring Co. could have purchased the tractor and winch separately, and had their mechanic install it.

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
