Just a short thank you for the tractor video. First tractor my Dad bought after WWII was an M. I remember riding with him on his lap. I was between his arms and the steering wheel. He didn't have a pickup, so he'd use the tractor to drive around the farm doing chores. He'd put a canvas heat houser on in winter. It was pretty toasty once the tractor warmed up. Good memories! Thanks for reminding me!
That's called a fusible link, you can probably find them at any auto electrical store, great saves, they remind me of my uncle's M that sat in his barn for decades, think it was my grandfather's and it's little cousin the B
Excellent video :) yes do lots stuff your dad both enjoyed together I know when my late dad around we did lots together too but he passed away in 2017 ! I did lots stuff farming with years ago what he had with his brother ran many years ago and they ran McCormick International tractor and yes remember one neighborhood neighbor farmer had 9 speed on Farmall tractor to ! Yes like old tractor tp and lots fun too!
We had a 40's-50's Farmall tractor when I was a kid and I seriously can't remember clearly if it was a C, M or H. And out of all the pictures I took as a kid, and there were hundreds, I don't have 1 of that tractor. I may have taken 1 of my brother driving it the day he didn't follow the rule to not wrap your thumbs around the steering wheel and he hit a rock. Just about dislocated his thumbs. He didn't need to be warned after that.
Thanks for the video. I’m curious about how that push button excites the alternator. Also wondering if H models share some of the same parts with the M. Also are you driving Claudette to the rally?
There’s a tool that is essentially a hot glue gun and some molds that is designed to make sealed/molded splices like the one you showed a little before 23 minutes! Can’t remember what they’re called but I bet if you google “hot glue gun wire connector tool” I bet you can find it. Another great video as usual!
@@notajp that is also my understanding, more accurately (as accurate as my hazy memory): kerosene is a distillate itself but it’s a slightly different concentration than the distillate that the industry referred to as ‘tractor fuel’ at the time. By the mid 50s, in the race for more horsepower, gasoline quickly replaced it and by the end of the 60s turbo’d diesel was king.
if you can find a 450 lp head it will bolt right on. i had a 44 M k1 with flat head pistons. with the 450lp head after a ring job produced 62hp. if i had put the high dome pistons it would have put out 65 to 70 hp.
@@reggeckmann3993 9 speed transmissions for the Farmall M and Farmall H were built (starting in the late 1940s) by three companies: M&W, Heisler and Behlen. An ingenious design that added an additional sliding gears to the transmission countershaft. When engaged, it doubled the speed of the countershaft and so doubled the speeds of 1st -4th gears and reverse. 5th gear is direct drive and it isn’t affected. However the PTO and factory hydraulic pump are driven off the countershaft so those doubled as well, which limited their use in the new high range. With a 9 speed engaged, 1st through 4th gears became 5th through 8th gear and the unaffected factory 5th (road gear) became 9th gear.

It’s my understanding that a distillate tractor can actually run on kerosene.

Tell me about 9 speed my brother doesn't believe me he has seven red tractors
