I recently purchased a 1943 Farmall M.
I just retired from being a professional pianist, but I grew up with an aviator/farmer father and I used to love to go to the hay fields and the "tractor show room" with daddy. My dream was a bright red Farmall M (I could see eye to eye with the rear axle when I was very small...yet I wanted to drive one!!) Daddy never purchased my dream, but he did buy a used W6 and determined me was driving it with an huge New Holland square baler by the time I was 9. Daddy is now gone and I have no one to answer my questions. I am now almost 66 years old and need some advise on what to do. I have a great mechanic and he has this tractor running to show room specs. It has an aftermarket 3-pt hitch and I would like to get a boom pole that is as sturdy as the tractor can handle. Is 1000 to 1500 lbs. out of the question to lift? What category pole do I need. Where can it be purchased? I only see tubular steel poles available. Does one need to be fabricated?
I know how to plow, disc, harrow etc. Mowing, raking and baling is a specialty, but I need to move things around that need a gin pole.

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
