Dad got out of the Army in '46, bought a brand new H and 50T baler to do custom baling. He got to the point he was the Dealer's baler specialist, He baled enough the baler was almost worn-out when he moved onto the farm I grew up on fall of '51. I think the H was traded for a '47 M, Dad bought a brand new M that was delivered Christmas Eve '51, was a cold Christmas that year, Dad thought his Day old M should break-in running the feed grinder. Turns out the stock 6V system really wouldn't start an M worth a DANG, the '47 M started and ground cattle feed. The '51 M now has Char-Lynn P/S, M&W live hyd, M&W 4 Add P'wer sleeves & pistons, and the 12V alternator & 6V starter starts the M just fine!
If Dad had something he didn't like, it was probably his two IH #62 combines with Continental 69 cid engines, one to run, one to rob parts off of. His Deere R diesel was a disappointment, but it didn't stick around long, his 4010-D was a HUGE money pit. His '40 styled Deere B was bought to pull the manure spreader through the hog house, If you could get it started it would do that. I raked hay ONE time with it, never again! Dad paid $90 for it, I cleaned and repainted it, we had the paint & decals, put a mis-matched pair of better tires on the rear, it sold for $125 on Dad's auction.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
