Parking Red next to Orange

[RobertN]

Oh Boy! went out this weekend and finally got my Farmall! Found a '41 "A" 4 hours from here. Sure is different jumping on that (after you crank start it) than running around on my B8200.

Sure is a lot of differences between the '41 "A" and '88 B8200; the gas engine, governor, 2wd, offset engine. And, the wiring is so simple. All there is is a kill switch. Oh, the steering brakes WORK on the Farmall, unlike the Kubota...

Now I need to find a belly mower...

Sure was fun to curise on on 4th of July!

I assume the steering brakes are hand operated so they don't get in the way of the Hydro transmission they were planning for future models?

Also tell us a little about the hydraulic operated 3 point system! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Congrats Robert...I am also looking for an old Farmall for showing/restoring. I almost bought an "H" that was sale for $2K just about 5 miles from my house a couple of weeks ago, drove past it about 10 times and even sat on it and started it up a few times...made an offer of $1500 but they owner wouldn't take it...I planned on upping my offer after I attended a local antique tractor show (hoping to find a better deal at the show), as I was leaving the show empty handed I decided to drive by one more time and call the owner that night to negotiate a deal but the tractor was already gone...my loss...was in pretty good shape and I could have even driven it to my house.

Good luck with yours!

Thanks!
I used the following resources to find this tractor:
ytmag.com classifieds and photo ad's
atis.net classifieds
ebay.com Search on "tractors"

I actually found this through EBAY. A gentleman had a Massey Pony for bidding. I had seen him sell a Case and Allis "B" a few weeks earlier. I emailed him, and asked if he had a Cub or "A" Farmall. Sure enough... he did! He didn't have it on the auction.

Club's and some of the antique tractor pages can be a great source!

Oh, that 3pt "AIR" lift works great! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

May we all bow to Furgeson, lest we all be without 3pt /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

It has one heck of a adjustable drawbar though /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hi Thomas,

Serial No. 91627, which from what I can find is actually a '42, not a '41. This is from YTMAG.COM

I check Ytmag almost every day, and ebay everyday...lots of tractors but I need to find one that won't cost me an arm and a leg to ship across the country (to Mass.).

thanks for the links.

Here you go... It's in Maryland, which I'm guessing is a 4 hour drive or so from you..
