Well lets see here....I got a 58 W-100 and a '47 WDX Power Wagon. I also have a 1940 Farmall H Narrow front tractor with a New Idea Trip bucket loader on it. The tractor is still setup to run on Kerosene or Distillate, but I have always run it on gas, as well as the fella I bought it from. It burns more oil than fuel, and needs an overhaul badly, but I can put a battery on it during the coldest day of winter, and pull the choke, Let the starter turn 2 reveloutions and it fires up every time! I love that ol thing. Before I was old enuff to play with trucks and cars, I was heavily into old Tractors. I had a Farmall A, a Farmall Super C, and a 1939 H Farmall that was a Kerosene tractor, 4 speed trans and it took an oddball PTO like a F-20. It was a very early 39. I also had a Case DC Narrow Front Kerosene tractor, and 2, B Allis-Chalmers tractors. Not bad for a kid who is almost 24 is it? My next door neighbor has a '56 F-350 Dump that we use, as well as a 1953 Hough HF payloader a 1957? Massey Harris 444 DIesel Wide Front Row Crop tractor, and a Wagnermobile Scoopmobile forklift that has a Dodge Flathead six, NP420 trans! We love our old Iron and use it daily. Once I get my land settled, I will get back into old Tractors again, mostly IHCs Here is a pic of a neat goodie I got on ebay. it is the best of both worlds.
