  old equipment

I restored a '47 Farmall A and a '52 Super C. The SC is my plowing tractor in the spring, and sometimes use it for moving rocks and dirt with a box blade or carrying firewood and dragging logs; even brush hogged with it some last year. The A has no lift system (I ditched the exhaust lift set-up) so I use it to pull a trailer and occasional hauling firewood in a carryall.

My NH compact is still used for tilling, finish mowing, and running a 3ph backhoe.

Sometime in the future I plan to set up a belly mower for the A, maybe eventually get some turf tires for it.

The old tractors are fun. It really makes you appreciate live PTO and live hydraulics.

Good luck,
Bill

  old equipment

We have a long-time family friend that has a dual-fuel Farmall H. The engine was stuck when he bought it; he and Dad got it freed up and disassembled it; got the major parts to fix it; then he lost interest in it. He has offered to give it to me a couple of times but it would be a losing deal no matter how I sliced it.

That is the only one I've seen in person; so I've yet to hear one run or see how the fuel switch-over works.

Bill

Frank,
That helps. I've sort of figured out the dual-fuel tractors through the years. although everybody seems to have a different opinion about what "distillate" fuel was. And I agree that most of the d-f tractors have been converted in one way or another to run on gasoline only.

In any case, I kind of figured that the odds were better that kthompson saw a dual-fuel tractor rather than an MD. I just forget that in other places the bigger tractors were more popular; in this area of the Appalachias, an H or an 8N is about the biggest working antique you'd see.

Bill
