What IH tractors do you have? You seem to be knowledgeable on quite a few of them!
Joe
On my Dad's farm we have: F12, F14, A, two H's, W9, 544, 1086, 1460 combine, Case 2590, JD 8630, JD 4450 MFWD, and a few IH, JD, and Fairbanks-Morse stationary engines. Tractors we used to have that I operated include SMTA, 400, 656, 1256, and AC D15.
I have personally overhauled an H engine from top to bottom and taken apart the rearend and transmission on one. I was involved with the rebuilding of the F12 helping my Dad (I was 10 years old at the time). I've had the clutch and flywheel out of and the head off of the W9. I took a neighbor's A apart to put in a new clutch and also replaced most of the gaskets and seals, too. I helped rebuild the engine in the 544 and had the head off myself later on, along with putting a new clutch in it.
Working for other people I have run several other tractors, including 350 utility, 504, 966, 1486, 5088, 5488, 7130, 1440 combine, 1688 combine, Massey 1805 and 4900, JD 4255, 9600 combine, driven a couple of semis with grain trailers, numerous single and tandem axle trucks, etc.
As for my knowledge, I read a lot of books on tractors and I also read a lot of the posts here on YTmag. I remember what I read and I have many different subjects book marked on my computer. Spending time on the computer is something that keeps me occupied and is basically free entertainment for me... :)

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.
