Old Farmall Finally Pulled From Wooded Grave - Farmall 400 TA

[@tonygough8713]

That should turn into a awesome tractor. Thanks for your good videos.

Thank you. I really appreciate that. Right bow waiting for my dad's new barn to go up so I can work on it this winter. Thanks for watching.

The Farmall 400 was the replacement for the M line of Farmall's. It came standard with TA, Live power and live hydraulics. Live power/hydraulics just mean they continue to run after you push in the clutch. M's the hydraulics and PTO stop when you push in the clutch. IMOP a good running Farmall 400 is a perfect budget tractor for a homestead. I use my 53 400 to do bucket work. grade the drive, Brush hog. My $2500 400 can do most of the same things as a $25,000 compact tractor can do. Granted. a nice new compact would be nice. But I cannot justify the cost while my 400 is still running. And it is likely to outlast me.

Thanks for the valuable info. I'm really looking forward to getting this old girl up and going.

@@PheasantLaneFarm Ok, I dont really want to post my email address here. But I do have pretty extensive resources for a 400. Including step by step images of me splitting mine, removing the TA tunnel, Replacing the clutch, TA, and a couple a gears in the transmission. Used to have in on my old website before KZbin days.

That’s an awesome tractor! I’m glad you got it out. Thanks for another great video and we’ll see ya on the next one. Take care!

You were very lucky the front casting did not break, they were not designed for tugging. Looks like a worthwhile project.

[@PheasantLaneFarm]

I agree it wasn't the best idea. At the time we didn't have any other options. Had to get it out before the fall rains or it would be stuck for another year. Our property tends to lay wet. For 6 months of the year.

Looks like a 1953 that's sad it was left like thank all them yrs so they only used it for not even 10yrs an let it sit hope to see it running one day the 400 and the 300 are awesome..

[@PheasantLaneFarm]

They said it's been sitting for 8 years. I think it's been there a little longer.

That was awesome that you guys got it out. Did not look good at the start but persistence paid off. Appears to be in really good shape. That will be a fur project on the restoring. Glad you decided to resurrect the old girl. She deserves to live once more.

[@PheasantLaneFarm]

Thanks Gary. Both brakes were locked up, and sunk in that black swamp dirt more than we thought

[@dwhallon21]

Good evenings work. Get that Farmall running

You should get a hold of the farm all fanatic. He could tell you everything about it.

[@PheasantLaneFarm]

Thanks for the info! I have some questions and looking for some guidance!
