Price for a Farmall M

IF the front loader is an original one, I wouldn't use it to pick up round 1000lb bales. It was designed to pick up a hundred lbs of manure/dirt. Picking up anything other than an AC round bale will likely cause the front end to buckle, OR the oil pump to stall out.

A row crop tractor can be wide front or narrow. There are wide front tractors called standard that have a non adjustable wide front while a row crops wide front is adjustable.

mebby so, but id like to see a wide front row crop cultivate 3ft corn, as I have done.

I strongly disagree. There are 3 Hs, two Ms, 9 Super As, and a string of other IH tractors here and you don't stop tween gears on any of them. I think you ave a worn out shifter.

Well, ive drove, my dads H, MY H, and my uncles M which was mine, and you had to stop to shift any and all of them.

Course, u don't mind a little gear clash, I guess you can find a gear, or make it while running.

Used to shift our old M on the fly you sure can do it.

Worn shifter end and sloppy pins. Sure bet.

If pulling a heavy load, no, you cannot. The tractor stops after pushing out the clutch before you can shift. But it is possible to shift under light load, especially into road gear. Most tractors of the day didn't have shift on the go. Many much newer tractors didn't either. Some did have a shift on the go 2 speed of some kind, but many of those, were ordered without it....James

Well, if you are in the low end market for tractors, you cant sit around long. The M already sold. And not to me.

yup, they don't stick around. Too bad your not around here. Theyrl be a sale NEXT sat and id bet good money theyrl be a tractor there that would suit your purposes that will go for under a grand.

why on earth were you cultivating 3' corn, it should be canopied by then.


The H and M were not synchro mesh and were not supposed to be shifted while moving, Not saying it couldn't be done as we had an old Case 800 that would upshift 5-8 pretty well.

I did cause I could. At 32in rows, the corn was yet too far apart in the rows for complete covering of the ground below.
Also, as I remember, I got to harrow it once, then we had rain, and rain, and more rain. By the time I could get into it, both it and the weeds had grown a lot, and I was just giving it a last going over to try to make sure that the weeds would be stunted enough that the corn could have a good chance.
