farmall H action! feeding hay in the rain! a farmall story from my youth!

[@rogervandergriff1851]

I got so into it I was leaning towards the way the tractor was going!!! Lol

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

When I was a kid, I ran farmalls alot. I had a lot of time on a Super H and a Super M. These are tough old tractors and there are many still in service today. I have a 1942 H that I use here on the vintage homestead

[@Wheelloader__]

We had 2 farmall h's back in the 60's. First thing I ever drove. I couldn't reach the pedals. Dad got it going for me. We were baling hay with a baler with it's own engine. Dad would jump on the tractor when I needed to stop. I miss those days. Great video. Thanks for the memories.

[@lonniebroyles5785]

Great video! It is no telling how many hours I have driven the H with the tricycle front wheels. I cut hay, racked plowed used the front loader cleaning out the barn and loading spreader. They were and are great tractors.

[@justinweaver8787]

Love ur tractor Harv stay safe and warm and have a great week. You to Cullen and Barbara.

[@dennislorden3142]

I really enjoyed this video. I liked seeing the tractor goin back n fourth through that rut

[@tinmanssaws]

That was like watching a tractor pull!! Loved it!!

[@StevenLettsPerformance]

I always love those old tractors there's a lot around my parts all farm country lol thanks for sharing bud I enjoyed this.

[@laneburgess1643]

Nice tractor. I enjoyed seeing it run.

[@patthesoundguy]

I used to put hay out with the 1964 version of that tractor. I miss it. The awesome thing about the newer version was having the 3 point hitch with the hay spike on it. Those old loaders are very underrated. I really like the trip bucket setup. With the rear blade and the trip bucket I could move one ton of snow.

[@jeffgrier8488]

I love those old tractors, they're indestructible for the most part. I've never gone as fast as you on one though!!

[@bobblenuts]

👍👍👍 Good old tractors, spent many hours on seat of H, Super H, M & Super MTA. Exactly as you said, the H & M's were simple & easy to fix. Clean H2O out the sediment bowl, new plugs, points, dist. cap every 2-3 years and good to go! Plowed a lot of snow with an H with canvas engine shroud & a windshield back before they had tractor cabs. Thanks for the memories Harvey! 🍺🥨🍺

[@caterpillar1693]

1953 farmall h was the first farm tractor i ever drove. Tricycle front end

[@caterpillar1693]

You need a set of chains for that baby

[@stevetheriault4164]

She purrs like a kitten ,nice old tractor ,have a great weekend be safe boys

[@aldendarr]

What you grow up on is the best thing for you. Eventhough I'm young ive had my 60 john deere since I was six and really haven't driven it much alone till this year. I don't have many hours on my belt but it will be my tractor for as long as I can keep it.

[@bryanblood7063]

I live in Gaines Michigan it's a population of 223 and it's all farm everybody has old tractors and just about everyone has a tractor no newer than mid 80s I have a massey 135 1972 and a ford 3550 backhoe it's a 1976 I'll never own a new tractor there to hard to just rig up if something breaks on the fly and there to expensive my uncle inherited our 120 acre farm I grew up on a h and a super m and a farmal f20 and a john deere b my dad and uncle said also if you can crank the f20 you can drive it but I thought the john deere b was the hardest to start. But great video it reminded me of our family farm.

[@butchhill2001]

these stories,, priceless ,Harve

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

Give er Heck Harv. Love it. Yeah Cullen I love the idea of Farmall mud bog buddy great to see you guys hangin out in the farm. 🌲❤🌲✊

[@thehealedheartspace]

Loved that video!!! Such a cool 'ol tractor and really cool old donkey! 55...Wow, amazing!! 💪❤👍✌

[@jeremybuchanan4759]

We used H's and M's when I was young - great memories.

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

Nice story and Farmall H. I think we are a lot of young boys who have learnt some hard lessons on these old tractors. I wasn't allowed to drive the newer ones, so I had to turn hay with a Farmall M with aching arms after a day!

[@charlesfraser6894]

Great video Harvey that's one tough old tractor . Take care all of you there.

[@JandSChainsaw]

Old tractor still getting it done..dad has an old super a it has a belly mower...we used it to run a hay elevator for a few years.....it rained all day here too...

[@calebtrivette4423]

That's a nice ol tractor Harvey can't beat them old ones and it's never fun when your on a hill and hit one brake instead of both of them lol have a great day y'all!!

[@t.texasty]

Great old tractors. My grandpa had one pretty close to that. The old International machines were great, I've got a '55 T6 Dozer with the 4 cylinder gas engine, runs as good as any machine out there.

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Harvey and Cullen!!😀😀 The old H with a Wagner loader. That brings back fond memories from when I was a kid. LOL!! To bad it's not the super H then you would have live hydraulics on it so you wouldn't have to put it in neutral to run the loader. I've got one just like it with a narrow front sitting in my barn that hasn't been started in almost twenty years. But like you said. Pliers wire and bent screw driver will probably get it going. LOL!! Take care guys!!😀😀👍👍❤

[@kevinhall2266]

That’s a bunch of patient animals. Looks like a handful of fun

[@randyforestier7256]

It reminds me of the 580 A case backhoe. Everyone put a left foot throttle on them so you could us the turning brakes. We were work in the street doing underground in 80s. Nice old tractor.

[@billupstateny9151]

Appreciate the vintage red tractors

[@Finom1]

Hi Ironhorse, grate video and thank you for sharing your history.

[@weaverkevin5462]

Originally from NE PA when I was 12yrs old I rolled over a case triecyle tractor sm one damb her killed me. Broke my neck crushed my right arm gashed my head broke 3 ribs in the hospital for 5 weeks im58 now and still going. Thanks for the video.

[@markjoudrey7036]

Old tractors are awesome!when they brake traction on a hill it's a feeling you can't fully describe. But they are reliable

[@stevefarms7494]

I have a 1945 farmall H narrow front end with trip loader. My first tractor was a 1940 Massey Harris 101 Jr and Sr

[@lesterkirian7727]

I really enjoy those storys

[@gforcesg]

so cool love the old tractor's awesome they don't make stuff that last like that today !!!

[@quincymccarter3837]

hard workin man . thancks for sharing your familey

[@maxpuppy96]

Love them old tractors no computers, no safety switches. Harvey there should be a posi lock on the floor of the tractor to lock both the wheels in try it next time. Well you had plenty of weight over the wheels LOL!!!

[@theironhorse6600]

No posi! Just left and right brakes!

[@livewithnick]

Awesome video!!

[@beerayfarms7979]

That’s a good running old Farmall. Neat to see one with a wide front end. Those machines from that era were built to last. really any of the IH tractors up until the mid 1970s are pretty easy to work on we ran them on my uncles place when I was a kid. With the exception of valve jobs, it didn’t take many tools to tear one of those motors down and rebuild, especially the diesels. All that being said the modern tractors, especially hydrostatics are much more user friendly and no doubt safer. Same could be said of a lot of things, like chainsaws and portable sawmills

[@Bluesbone007]

“Ramming Speed”..... nice video again Harv

[@endtimes644]

Ben Hur

[@markferguson598]

Looks like you could use some more 145 lb wheel weights Harv. Great video kind of took me back a few years, I had a 53 super H row crop that i built into a puller. It was loads of fun and the best part was trying to hide the mods from the other pullers. Keep it up stay safe and god bless.

[@Hillbillysniper]

That's awesome! --sharing--

[@BikerBenny]

I can remeber as a kid my uncle would pull a feed wagon with corn silage to feed the cows. It was the tricycle style

[@martinkerker1190]

When I have to move round bales in the winter I push the bale onto a 4x8 sheet of plywood then pull it with my H like its a trailer. it keeps the weight off the front end. like the video.

[@DaveyBlue32]

Clay soil in my rain and deep ruts!!! LMFFAO! You’re bringing back some gruesome memories of getting stuff “Stuck!!!”... LMFFAO... working in peanut butter and snot! 😂😂😂😂😂👍😉

[@theironhorse6600]

Haha! You got that right!

[@rogervandergriff1851]

Great video, still run one every now and then

[@canadianboyee]

I'm not a farmer at all but my buddy's dad had one of those farmalls with the two front tires really close together, well we decided to joy ride it and same thing Harvey we got going down this big hill complete run away with two of us on there, some miracle we kept that thing upright hahaha scariest damn moment of my life

[@vernonvest9927]

My Father purchased a Leader D tractor in 1948,We were able to harvest 128 acres the first yr. with the old wheat binder,I was only six yr old , I could only hold it straight in line Dad would take the machinery around each corner of the fields from the binder to the tractor and turn it to the next rows and away we would go only ran over one fence not bad for a six yr old.

[@dougfleming2099]

I like that old school livn, that’s how we live.

[@jorgecosta424]

Nice tracter i love it!!!!!!

[@Aaron_A_Lynch]

Sweet ol farmall...I grew up on a farmall M ,8n ford,30 ferguson,880 David Brown...don't make them like those anymore..I got an old Allis Chambers WD-45 wide frontend with a trip loader. ..it's a hand full 👍🤘

[@jamesjohnson6239]

The old girl sounds good. Harv kept her throttled right up !!

[@tomkrise4632]

You need some rear wheel weights to counteract weight of bale. Great old tractors.

[@Smittyschainsaws]

I just ported an old Homelite!! Wow!!!

[@justinweaver8787]

Yes u did great on it to made a super strong saw in my opinion. Have a great week.

[@joshdurrant9247]

Great story Mr Harvey! You know why they made john Deere's green? So they could hide in the grass when a Farmall came lol😂! 👍👍💪💪😁🇺🇸

[@jim-rk1yo]

when i was a kid we were hauling junk out of the fence row with a 53 super m. when I started down over the hill I didn't realize I had the torque amplifier engaged it started coasting and I was standing on the brakes. luckily I had enough room to stop.

[@skippyjones2077]

Hey Harvey Collin nice to see you guys..HARV PLEASE SEND RAIN MY WAY PLEASE MY WELL IS DRY you know I’m 2 1/2 hrs East of you Camden need water rain 🌧 Thank you for the Story Take Care ❤️🙏

[@janbill79]

Hey, I can relate to that story . I put my wife in the similar situation. ( but I didn't tell her to take it out of gear) She rode it out to the bottom with the old wagon swaying back and forth at that speed> I grew up on farmalls , letter series also 7 years old my first job was raking straw on the farmall B

[@johnmiley458]

I have an H Farmall I was born in 1946 . The tractor was built in 1942. It will pull a 5ft bush hog. Never had the head off of it. Years back I removed the pan and replaced the aluminium rod war bearings .

[@jeffreyrubish347]

I was cheering for you to get up that hill, Harvey! I don't think the horses were impressed with the effort, though 😀 Hello Barb! Hello Cullen! Hello Jack 🤣

[@robertandreoli9764]

Hi Harvey good job just send it 👍

[@jeremysullivan3328]

Harv you need some counter weight on back of that tractor I have a super c I plow snow with it's useless till I add some weight I have two brake drums from a log truck that I bolt to the hitch makes a big difference love your videos harv

[@raycharles1379]

Keep on diggin harvey that's a damn good tractor.dont see them farmall with that wide axle

[@jonathansiliskie6159]

What about putting a hitch on an old truck/car hood and pulling it up the hill. Keep the weight on the back tires then use the loader to pick it off the hood once you get it up to the top

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

Or just get one of Harveys old big block V8 engines. Not in the tractor but as a counter weight in back! Haha

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

Started plowing on tractor was a m farmall was so little had to use both feet to push in the clutch both hands on the wheel look how short that would be from steering wheel to paddle im thinking was 4 are 5 years old i sure do miss my granddaddy

[@michaelpatterson6678]

I owned a Allis WD-45 years back.

[@jkrake7081]

Hell yeah love the old h a farm hand loader f 11 is the model I think u would like to have bucket hydraulics and need some more back weights the old h would go thru any thing or tire chains works good to get thru any thing

[@jamesgage1831]

I got my dad farmall h and drive it all the time plowing snow with it all the time I dubbed clutch my tractor sound like my child hood lol

[@johnclarke6647]

I figured you would have a beer can sitting on top of your muffler and not a flapper valve. As soon as I cranked the tractor my horses would have been standing at the gate waiting for breakfast. Then you have to dodge horses as you drive. I would have gotten some of that old hay and thrown it in the ruts to increase the tractors traction or found another way into the lot.

[@John-rx3xx]

boy thats a good old tractor

[@johnclarke6647]

Your best chance to get up a muddy hill is your first time. You cannot do a lot of stuff in a farm lot because animals are dumb and if there is anything in it that can hurt them, they will find it. The first time I cranked a tractor it was one with a manual start and that damn handle knocked me about ten feet when it kicked back. I sat on a Sears catalog the first year I worked at my grandfathers farm. I was about ten, mid 50’s. It was a Ford Jubilee. My grandfather farmed 2,500 acres with a Jubilee, a 560, a 640 and a high row cropper B model Johnny, plus a brace of mules.

[@stevesedgwick5789]

I wonder how many surer expensive and technically brilliant modern day tractors, will still be functional when there’re over 70 years old?

[@aaronrickard4675]

I was ready for him to start throwing his arm like they do in dead weight pulls 😂

[@1944chevytruck]

Cool old tractor!... would chains help for tractor wheels or sections on tire with chain??... thanks 4 video be kind.

[@WNQZH]

Nice old farmall. I have a 46 h and a 53 super h. I have a manure bucket laying around in the weeds that slips onto your existing bucket if you want it. Free. Free.

[@eddyarundale1566]

Love story time 👌

[@brianproffitt7263]

I’d try to figure out some kind of road maybe, or some chains for the tractor.

[@whilomforge3402]

People don’t understand how hard it is in the fall/spring in the northeast to get anything done like this. Constantly raining, steep terrain and on off snow. It’s a hard life to choose.

[@Bluesbone007]

“I think I can, I think I can........ I know I can, I know I can”

[@RedIron1066]

Tire chains would make one hell of a difference, and a couple wheel weights on each side.

[@waywardshed9721]

My dad and I rebuilt a model A when I was just a boy, all farmall’s are a bit special to me

[@banditlicks9133]

you rock buddy

[@bikerdog5554]

Hey Chris!

[@questhallman3817]

Great video. I have my granddad’s Super A and would rather use it than my early 90’s Kubota.

[@BikerBenny]

Geeeezus kreighst that neutral run away tractor experiance when you were a kid 😳🤯🤯🥶🚜💨

[@robertdancho9671]

They don’t make them like they used to. Great old tractors.

[@ericgrundeman6113]

You know if you throw a couple pails of wood ashs in those tire trenches it wouldn't even spin a tire,several times I watched my grampa throw fresh ashes out the wood burner on are driveway at the farm its a steep hill and the logging trucks couldn't get up in the winter its amazing how good dry ashs work for traction works way better than sand or kitty litter who would've thought,try it someday

[@randygrider9758]

Hilarious ! Raise the loader up. It throws weight on the back tires for more traction. If you are going to be running up in that mud put some weights on back of tractor. Just a couple hundred pounds does a whole lot.

[@antitactical]

My father and I restore these old tractors. Ive got an H, M, Super M, 400. My dad has probably 15 of them. If only Va was a little closer to NY. I would run you up 4 more rear wheel weights. Triple weights per side would offset that big hay bale. Keep up the good videos.

[@ericharris893]

He would do fine with those weights

[@davidshultz4986]

I like that tractor I own a ford 2000. 3 cyclender had to put a head gasket on it cause oil was milky know she's good like my big old blue ox

[@lehringer4884]

Chains work great

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

I HAD A NARROW FRONT H WITH A LOADER, I GAVE IT TO MY FATHER IN LAW. HE SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TRACTOR THEY HAD ON THE FARM, HE IS 92 AND STARTED FARMING WITH HORSES

[@DaveyBlue32]

In my family...you either got tough or you got dead! LOL! Ahahaaa! The good old days!

[@pm270100]

its a good thing i like it

[@DaveyBlue32]

A couple hundred pounds of cast iron in a couple wheel weights or a box of rocks on the back would have been nice...LMFFAO! Grandpa Ralph had the H...had that skinny two tire front....corn rows...ya know... 😂.... I love that Willy!!! He’s definitely not afraid of traffic...he’s ready to eat! LOL 😂 he’s probably always ready to eat! I love that front end attachment!!!

[@kendallrogers377]

A set of chains would help a bunch in the mud. Just an idea...

[@robweethee653]

I run and love david browns you should do a video on yours

[@shanemannion4077]

Of you can't get up you can lift the front with the loader and the bale
