Walt davies said: (quoted from post at 12:29:33 03/03/08)Not to stop you from getting into an old tractor but they are mostly for having fun on at parade and shows and not the best thing for every day use around the farm as you may spend more time looking for parts than using them.

I respectfully disagree...

We use our 42 H's almost daily throughout the summer for mowing and raking hay. During the spring and fall one of them usually ends up on the grain auger. One is also used on the mixer mill to grind feed during the winter. I have used the H's and the Farmall A to run the PTO generator on building projects away from electricity. I use the H's to cultivate the trees, drag the yard, even pull the scraper and blade to maintain our section lines and drive way. This coming summer I hope to have another sickle mower on Dad's C so that we can use that as well.

I think it is an excellent idea to have a nice older Farmall as a daily chore tractor and an A will work wonderfully for moving things around - you will probably want to add some sort of a step for getting off and on the tractor as it can be somewhat unhandy to mount and dismount...
