Found an old model "m" pop n' john last week. Today I decided to mount the mower and see how it worked. The mower is one of three mounted attachments that i bought with the tractor. I also picked up of a two bottom plow and a disk. As for mounting the attachments, I can see clearly why the fords three point became the universal atachment system. Well, the mower works... enjoy the pic. I'll be sure to add more as I restore it...
Nice little tractor, Stumpjumper! I know what you mean about the implement mounting Have you hooked up the plow yet? It's a unique experience:Banghead Ours is a '49 that was bought by my great-grandfather in 1950, been in the family ever since. That's my dad cruisin' around on it.:cool2
Diesel, I must admit you win the spit and polish compition... for now. Is your three point original? Or did it come from a 40?
Wow, I won something! And I didn't even know I entered... Actually the M is due for another repaint one of these days, we did it years ago with cheapo synthetic enamel and farm store decals years ago and it's starting to look a little rough. I did a JD R for my dad a couple of years ago in Imron with Jorde decals and the extra effort and expense was well worth it. The three point is homemade, I think- I can get some detail pics if you want.
you mean a real 3pt hitch like my little toy?
Stumpjumper, Here's that "R" I was talking about. Out in the weather for months and still looks good- I'm an Imron convert! BTW, If this comes up twice, sorry- I thought I posted it earlier :beatsme
Siickel bar That sickel bar must B a pain to instal ! I used to drag one behind a H for houre's and loved it. Yours would B nicer in a way because you could watch the hay fall.Poietry in motion !!! Jim
Very nice looking tractor! Id love to work some ground on that thing!
Come on out, there's plenty of discing to be done! It really is a neat old tractor- big old 2 cylinder torquing along at 1000rpm, you can feel every power stroke when it's on the governor. The little 2 cylinder opposed piston pony motor looks like a scale model of a Cat pony. LOL
Nothing beats the sound of thoese 2 bangers pulling hard !!!!
