Very nice F30 and your the first I've seen since I was a kid to do a proper crank and fire on one of those ole F models other than grandpa ,dad and myself
Disked alot of fields, mowed alot of hay and pulled alot of stumps with Dads. Dont know how I ever hand cranked that thing when I was a kid. They had torque to spare. Ours had the two fuel tanks. One for gas and one for kerosene. Our exhaust manifold had the lever to switch over for different fuels. Ours also had two head lights. About 14in across with cut glass lenses. I have never seen another pair of lights like them. Dad still had the hose that you could use to pump up tires. You would take out a spark plug, screw it in and start the engine. Slow but it worked. If you dont know, you have a hand brake on each side for each wheel. You will notice a cable running down the sides ofbthe tractor from front to back. These were attached to the steering and brakes. As you turned the wheel it applied the brakes to the inside wheel. You had to be careful because turn to sharply to fast and that nose will whip around faster than you can control. I always used that nipple on top of the steering gear as a site to keep it straight down the field. You could really get to bouncing in that seat too. Great memories.
I just found my great grandfather's 1939 F30 in a shed near my home and bought it from the folks who got it when he died and the farm stuff was auctioned off in 1971...it needs tires and a manifold other than that in relatively good condition.. great grandfather bought it new in 1939 serial number 29343...OK what size are the rear tires on the one in the video?

@@nebraskakirk It's just a term for ag tires that have a single ridge 'tread' on them, like unto a mohawk haircut. My elderly neighbor had a Jubilee Ford with mohawk fronts, but his was a Standard.
That’s a fine ol girl. Speaking the sound of her ancestors.

I started driving my grandpa’s F-30 when I was 8 or so pulling a 15’ straight disc. Sure does bring back memories.

Hermoso paseo en un lindo tractor, saludos desde la novena región de Chile.
That was grandpa's snow plow in the winter and our row tractor during agg season
If given the choice of a trip to Disneyworld or a couple of days to walk around and look at your collection of stuff, I'd take the latter every time.
EXCELLENT! Sounds great.
Get seeing the old iron still running!👍

They are 12.4x36
just remember to ALWAYS be careful on hills with narrow fronts because those are at risk of tipping after all
When I was very young Dad had an d20 then he got an h and finally an m
sounds good! runnin a touch rich but good nonetheless!
Sounds better when it runs rough to me! But that’s my opinion haha 😂
Wow..Tractor 3 leg can walk....has...ha
Add a Grey Bottle of STP Total Treatment fuel injection cleaner every 3 months with 89 octane gas and run like brand or rebuilt motor to it !
Are you fireing it on gas and then switching it to kero
Cool F/ 30 . Love it , no problem up and down the hills !!! Do you eat a lot of that exhaust with the short pipe ???
In 35 I bet that sure did beat a team of horses.
Big deal...just a trusty old farmall ♥️

Hey i am sub. # 81 NICE
I've never seen balloon mohawk tires as big as the fronts on this tractor. How old are they?
They are roughly 5-7 years old.
@@nebraskakirk I didn't realize any company was still making mohawks, even that recently. They look like they'd absorb a lot of bumps and humps.
I don't remember offhand what brand they are, I am not familiar with mohawks.
