M late uncle bought a new Regular in 1927. Sometine thereafter he converted the engine to F-20 specs and added a hydraulic pump in the driveline in front of the transmission to operate a trip bucket loader that he used to deal with the manuer of his small dairy operation.
The Regular was his only tractor until sometime in the mid 1950s when he bought a used F-30 as his "big" tractor. Though small, I remember going with my Father and Uncle to look at the F-30 before he bought it.
He used both on his 70 acre dairy, and tobacco farm until he passed in 1986. As he never married, my Father inherited his equipment when he passed. I well remember both tractors. Both were easily started by crank if you knew the proper technique, which I learned.
The Regular had been converted to rubber once the county paved the road past my Uncle's farm and notified him that he could no longer operate his steel wheeled tractor on the road between his house and barn and other fields on his farm.
The F-30 was pristine, OEM F & R rubber on round spokes with both F & R weights. It had both generator and lights but no starter, which was not needed as, as a child, I well remember my Uncle starting it with one hand (he well knew the technique). Both tractors had fully functional cable operated turning brakes. The Regular had a complete set of disc cultivators, bought with the tractor.
I well remember selling the Regular about 20 years ago with thecultivators, original Farmall brochure, owners manual and payment book.
As a child, I spent hours standing on the drawbar of the Regular as my uncle loaded his spreader with the Regular before spreading the load on his hay and tobacco fields with the F-30.
