Sorry to hear of your dads passing rustred. The farm I live on in central nebraska has been in my family since 1885. Grandpa spent many hours on a 400 plowing, planting, and feeding cattle. He started after his dad died at age 50 of a stroke while fixing fence. He is the youngest of 5 boys. He inherited the family farm and had two sons, one of which I'm the son of. We are blessed to farm together and live within a mile of each other. We are also blessed to have been abloe to grow our operation from 320 acres to 3600 acres as well as 400 head of cattle to a little over 3000. If it weren't for that old 400 we would not be able to have the 305 today! Grandpa is still alive at 81 and very active on out farm. He moved to town about 5 miles away in 2000 and I moved onto the original farmstead in 2004. I'm now 26, have a boy thats 5 and one on the way! Grandpa still comes out everyday for coffee and still does most of the books for the feedyard. He also does some shredding and drives the grain cart if we are in a bind here. He still grins when he gets on that old 400. The stories it could tell! We do use it quite a bit, for blading the yard and running augers. I've been pulling it lately at local pulls. It does do quite well! I love having that old iron around! Sometime I will try and post a pic of the H I restored!
And if you are wondering, the rear rims on the 305 are 50" and the fronts are 38"s! Thats the same as the rears on the 400!
