Hi Hugh, When I was young I drove a lot of different tractors for neighbors. As much work as we had at home my dad encouraged me to, he said I would learn more than one way of doing things. Close to home Farmalls were the most popular, a lot of H's which I found the biggest difference in, some of them didn't have much. At one time there were 4 MD's within 2 miles, 2 of them are still here. A few miles South you were not allowed unless you owned an Oliver and North all the Norwegian's had JD's, the more I drove them 2 cylinders the less I liked them. I found there was quite a difference within the same models no matter what make they were, how well they were tuned, tires and weight, and then some were never updated with high comp. heads, cold manifods etc. My WD9 didn't do what I thought it should at first until I welded 6 inchs into the rims and went from 16.9 to 18.4-34's, I was not disapointed again. My dad's H is a 42 model, it came on steel and burned what Dad always called Power Fuel. When he put it on rubber he welded on 11 inch rims. Overhauled it in 49, told the mechanic he needed more power. He changed the head, manifold, and camshaft. IH sold a cam then that had more power yet than the one in the later models. I have yet to see another H that will keep up to it. In all the years I have found the biggest difference is in how any tractor is equipted and maintained. I have seen you talk about cockshut tractors, that is one I have never been around. Have a good day, Chuck

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea ... [Read Article]
