Farmall M in the Family! You'll LOVE this RED Tractor Story!

The Farmall M was one of the most popular of the I-H Letter series, introduced in 1939. The M was a workhorse on American farms for decades. We take you to Ohio for the story of the Hawk family's Farmall M, and the way it's keeping generations connected to their farming roots. Another fitting tribute as Case IH celebrates 100 years of Farmall!

Thanks for the comments everyone. We were honored to do this. The old M isn't perfect but she'll always be with us.

Tyler, I enjoy watching this video over and over again. That tractor ride on the streets of Kansas, Ohio looks so tranquil and peaceful. Love the importance of family and legacy. Thank you! Watching from Florida.

@tractorhyatt7044 Thanks so much. This is surely a treasure

[@ladyb1777]

You should go to the Bailey Farms poker run in Britton, MI on the 12th 😊

[@stevew270]

It's a nice old M, it's always nice to have the old family tractors, I have my late grandpa's Farmall H he bought new!

[@markjurkovich7814]

That is a great video and a great history. I'd like to see an implement behind it and working in the field.

[@clairdeighan2183]

The Farmall Letter Series are all beautiful, and the M shown here is beyond gorgeous!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Great looking M. I have Daddy's 1963 Farmall 140 that he bought used in 1976. I grew up using that tractor and still use it today. In fact, the tractor and I are the same age.

[@smid2550]

I always liked to hear an old M run, but I can't say I miss riding on one -

[@Quintasper]

We still have the Farmall H our grandfather bought new in 1952 . It did it all on his 78.3 acres.

[@TheSteamAndGasShowsAndMore]

I can’t wait for them to be in Easton for the show!

[@tomnekuda3818]

Dad and I had John Deeres (old) but the guy across the fence had two M's.....they seemed so foreign to me until I ran one....good tractors.

[@driftlesshunter9200]

My grandpa bought a 1948 Farmall H, but it's been used for its entire life. Other tractors have come & gone, but the H hasn't gone anywhere. My dad has it now, but we used it to spread manure, haul hay wagons, chopper boxes, run blowers to fill silos (both belt and PTO), rake hay, cultivate corn, etc... when I was a kid.

[@Mar-vj6un]

Beautiful tractor 🚜 beautiful place to live ...sure bits City 🚦 living

[@tommaheady5230]

Crop tractors are crazy looking where I am ✌️

[@TeresaJohnson-ew4us]

Explain this ??

[@Kagaines]

I love Ms and H’s. They sound so powerful.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Nice looking M. Wonderful story. Our original tractors are gone but I still have a few old Farmall tractors.

[@shaggydogg630]

My three year old grandson call my Farmall HIS “ Mighty M”.

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Thank you, Hawk family! Enjoyed seeing your collection of tractors, especially the '47 M. Keep on farmin'!

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Good story thanks for sharing

[@KC2DZB]

These seem like really good people. Beautiful restoration, men!

[@arthurgoodband1946]

Absolutely Gorgeous Tractor. Love to hear the ting ting of the rain cap asit idles. Keep up the good work guys!!!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

What a wonderful story, so much love and admiration for each other in the Hawk family, both son and dad. Paying tribute to the grandfather/dad that started the tractor enthusiasm is so special and great to see. My dad past several years back, he started me off when I was 9 years old on a Farmall H. I can understand Mr. Hawks feelings about missing his dad, I miss mine very much too.😞Thank you Classic Tractor Fever for sharing this heartwarming story with us. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

[@driftlesshunter9200]

My dad had me driving the H around the same age. Later in life, I realize he started driving it at a young age too. My grandmother never drove. So my grandma had my dad drive them (his mom, two older sisters, & one younger brother) into town with their 1948 Farmall H (which my dad still has) to see a picture show while my grandpa was at work. They hid the tractor at the edge of town in a pine plantation & never told my grandpa about it. I did the math & my dad had to be around 8 or 9 at the time.

[@drglinski]

Looks great! Glad it has a red starter!

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

Wonder if the axle shafts are bent or maybe the holes on the wheel castings might be wallowed out? She's got a bit of a wobble at 5:23. That M is a gem regardless!!

[@user-kd4vq7vl8f]

Very nicely restored

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I came up in Ballville Twp. in the 70s through the 80s. Kansas, Ohio is about 10-15 miles from there. We ran A-C equipment and, even though I don't farm, I still bleed Persian Orange and have the D-17 (now restored) and 7080 (restoration in progress) that we owned back then. The neighbor man across the road ran McCormick Farmall equipment and had a few Ms that he'd bought brand new, one had a loader and, at least one was a Super M. He ran them until his body wouldn't let him anymore which was well into the 90s. Everything he owned was still in working shape at his estate sale. I'd sure like to know what became of some of his equipment.

[@rayboots2082]

We have a 1948 C and a 1947 M, the C has been on the family farm since my grandparents bought it and the M I bought that we had on the farm but my grandmother sold them.

[@adamvanostrand2664]

Beautiful story ❤️ my dad and I have a super M. It's restored.

[@seventhson27]

My dad bought one of these brand new after the "Dust Bowl" lightened up and he started raising some crops. Stepped up from a John Deere iron-lug-wheeler. It had lights on it even. He was having so much fun the first night, my Mom got worried when he didn't come home and had to go looking for him.

[@flycrankgaming2314]

The Farmall Fanatic is gonna be happy to see one of his videos shown for a brief moment.

[@billhillyer334]

Plusses = GOOD

[@seventhson27]

Dad used to tell the story about how the old iron-wheeler didn't match the rows in the row-crop. So he'd spend all day fighting the steering wheel to keep it straight. Also the old lug-wheels would go bump, bump, bump, and they'd get out of sync and start rocking back and forth. And was loud. He'd be plumb wore out by the end of the day. The new "Farmall" had rubber tires and were set to match the rows (you could adjust the width of the tires). It just kind of purred along and he didn't hardly have to steer it. By the end of the day he was hardly tire at all. So he turned on the lights and kept going. Until Mom came looking to see why he hadn't came home.

[@AcmeCountryAcres]

Very nice Farmall M! More importantly though very nice people!
