I have two Farmall M tractors and one Farmall H. The early M is a 1939. In the 1950s it was fitted with electric starting and lighting, three point linkage (Australian type with the hydraulic cylinder inside the gearbox), hydraulic remote control system, belt pulley and an Armstrong Holland Grader attachment. All parts were supplied by IHC at the time. I still use a fair bit of old machinery, so the three point linkage does not get a lot of work. The hydraulic remote control cylinder is used all the time, for the Sunshine header, IHC 7ft mower, disc harrows and ploughs. The Farmall H also has remote control and is used similarly. The later Farmall M (1947) has no remote control and no three point linkage. This severely limits its use, so a Liftall pump is going in soon. Basically, I find all the attachments that were available here in the 1950s still work fine and make the tractor useable today. The hydraulic system and three point linkage make it possible to use the tractor with various more modern machines. When one of the newer tractors broke down, the 1939 Farmall M was used to make 400 round bails with a Gehl 1450 Round Baler. The only thing I had to add, was a twelve volt battery to operate the twine feed.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
