We go through my M&W books and cover what real life examples look like on my tractors

Great video. I have seen most of these kits at different times over the years. It was cool to see them all in one format side by side.

[@DrRust]

I went to the half century of progress show last year and they had a big M&W display there that had all the options on display it was really cool especially the stroker kit they made I would definitely recommend checking it out if you get a chance

[@kennethehlers5631]

Forgot about the m/w governor

[@DrRust]

I did? Sorry I guess I’ll have to do a video about them and the Thompson governor also

[@frankwurth5375]

A collector after my own like. I too collect those M&W equipped Farmalls. I like that Chevy powered one.

[@DrRust]

I’ve got my eye on one that’s a really cool lpg conversion with a metric ton of M&W parts I just think they’re cool and I want my tractors to be different at the shows not just another m or h thanks for the comment I’m glad you enjoyed my content

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Several of our tractors have the M&W increased bore sleeve and piston kits. A standard M went from a 3&7/8 bore the a 4 inch bore. increasing the cubic inches from 248 to 264 the same cubes as a super M.

Wonder why Farmall didn't make a hand clutch an option? Would of been handy while haying

[@DrRust]

I don’t know but Farmall didn’t seem to care about options like some of the other manufacturers. They had the lions share of the market so the aftermarket was big for them.

[@dodge-ut6ti]

@@DrRust Had an M years ago Would have been a better tractor with a sort of live PTO.

[@DrRust]

It’s definitely a big improvement like on the Allis wd

[@SK-tr9ii]

We had an M&W hand clutch on our M for awhile. It didn't work too well. When it was set to work on the corn chopper it would slip while trying to plow. We had heavy clay soil.

[@DrRust]

They aren’t good at heavy pull

[@janbill79]

Wow , nice video, thats a lot of extras on the M . I would be very proud of that tractor too. I have 1 M tractor think about a 1949. I'll have to look but I think I have the extra gear, but with a cable, and ? maybe Charlyn power steering pump . it's located front left Power steering is not the behlen power type, as that's easy to tell maybe M & W. now I have to go out and look

[@DrRust]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it sounds like a nice tractor to run power steering is a top 5 upgrade for me the cable shift 9 speeds are more problematic check out my next video It will show a lot of the upgrades on my 45 m

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ontario. Interesting with live power, I don.t understand how LPTO work with that. Also has anyone ever seen 9 spd on W-4 or 6? Boy interesting video. Thanks

[@DrRust]

Maybe I’ll do a better video on that at some point I think they made one for the w4 and w6 I’ll check my books

[@richardlawson6668]

My grandpa had a farmall H w/ 9 speed

[@cdjhyoung]

The only time I have seen a 9 speed applied to a W6 is because a local tractor puller adapted one to his pulling tractor for more gear ranges. For some reason, I seem to remember that he modified it to lower the ground speed instead of adding gears at the top, but I may have go that part of the story wrong. That guys also explained to me that the the Super M engine could accept an additional 3/4 inch of stroke and that he at that time was building those cranks in his farm shop. The guy was serious about his 'stock' tractor pulling.

[@DrRust]

It’s possible that he changed the ring and pinion to lower his speed then used the 9 speed to have a better selection Stroker cranks are very common in tractor pulling and M&Ws stroker crank is kind of small compared to some of the ones people use now I’ve never seen a w6 with a 9 speed either

[@oldironlindyable]

Nice Video! Do you know if they made the fast hitch adapters for an H? Also why do you have to Run ATF in the power steering unit? I use light Hydraulic oil in mine and have never had a problem.

[@DrRust]

That’s probably fine as well the manufacturer recommended ATF I think type a I know people who run a 10 or 20 weight motor oil as well but you get the right pressure/performance with atf I don’t think they made them for a H but it’s so difficult to find information about the M ones that I might have just never seen one

[@deweydodo6691]

The gears on w-4's are so slow cept for road gear. It's that way with a lot of the standard models

[@DrRust]

Yep plus smaller tires

[@cdjhyoung]

@@DrRust In the W6 verses M, at least in the Super series, the rear differential ratio of the W^ was different from the M so that the gear ratios resulted in about the same speed in each gear between the M and W6.
