Dean Olson said: (quoted from post at 09:38:08 07/12/11) I was born In Belmond IA, raised in Denver IA, just north of
Waterloo and went to tech school in Calmar IA. Still have family in
Cedar Falls & Clarion.
Dad had several 8n Ford's, John Deere MT,A,B tractors are what I
grew up with. Neighbors has some Farmall H's & M's. I didn't know
the SC w FH existed till I saw one in TX
Close... I was about 40 mi. east of you. Seems there were lots of F-H SCs and later models in our area. Dad got his Super C when he "down-sized" and started working off the farm 1956. It was a new "carry-over" model... had his choice at the time of this or a 200. I had an uncle about 5 miles from us that got a SC about '53 with F-H and he liked it, so that's what Dad wanted. Then in the fall of '58 when carpenter work slowed, He bought his 2nd JD 60 and 227 picker and took on custom picking. Then because he had the bigger tractor and wanted something for me to do, he rented a neighbor's farm and we "up-sized" again until I left for the service in '61. After '58 the JD did the "heavy lifting", plowing, disking, corn picking, but SC did planting, cutlivating, mowed, raked, hauled manure, pulled wagons/hayracks, etc.. They were the "hands down" handiest small rowcrop tractor made. Uncles, neighbors, etc. had JD MTs, Allis C/CAs, etc and the C/SCs were so much handier, there was no contest. Dad passed away in'84, but from '48 to '84, he was never without a C or SC... must have had at least 5 of them, but only the one with F-H. Mom sold the last C in about '98 before she moved to a retirement apartment. He also had an almost like new Farmall 460 w/F-H when he died, that Mom kept until she left the farm... bet it didn't have 1000 hours on it.
Played HS basketball against Calmar.

Today's Featured Article - Maintaining Rubber Tires - by Staff. The broad use of rubber tires on farm tractors and machinery has resulted in a great saving in both time and operating costs since the time of steel wheels.
