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.
