The old IH temperature gauge that was on my Dad's '44 H that he was able to buy in early 1945 was divided into three sections. The 1st 1/3 was a white section that read COLD. The 2nd 1/3 was a green section that read RUN. It had a small black arrow coming from the top edge of the green section that appeared to point to the N. The last 1/3 was red that read HOT. It was a factory dissiotialate tractor. It had the shield over the dissiotialate style manifold, but it didn't have shutters as I remember. The manifold shield hung on the shed wall for many years with most of the original paint still on it. The lever on the manifold was permanently rusted in the C position as long as I can remember. We always ran it on gasoline. We also had a '44 H that Dad bought from a neighbor who bought a new 1950 M. He paid the neighbor more for it than the IH dealer had offered the neighbor had been on a trade. It was a factory gas tractor. It's manifold is a gas manifold, but the serial # tag isn't stamped X1 like later gas only tractors are. It has a starting tank hole the hood but never had a starting tank installed. It doesn't have the 2 inlet setiment bulb below the main tank. (How many out there know what I'm taking about when a say a 2 inlet setiment bulb?) No shutters or opening/closing mechanism was installed on the dashboard. The carburetors are different, too. I still have both tractors.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
