Myself:
1947 IH Farmall H ~ Currently being restored

And I partially own a:

194? Massey 30 Row Crop~ 152 C.I. Continental engine

That is all for right now. The Massey is the work horse as the H is being restored.

Ours needs an overhaul, burns almost as much oil as it does fuel. I figure the rings are either broken or not even there. Our 820 black dash runs real good, pulls 5-16" trailer plow in 3rd gear.

I have a Ferguson 35. Run a 5' finish mower, brush cutter and blade.

On the farm right now my brother has a JD 4020 with powershift, an Allis WD45 and WD45 diesel, and probably two or three others that change on a sometimes daily basis.

Dad and I have John Deeres mostly, two bangers, and most of them have been restored:
1935 A
1936 B w/cultivators
1940 G
1948 G with wide front end
1949 A Puller
1951 A with wide front end
1951 G
1953? 60
1959 730 Diesel with wide front end
1961 3010 Gas
1960something 2010 Diesel Dozer with bucket

Most are just for play but we try to make them work as much as we can. The inventory keeps changing as we find something we think we need to have and have something we can live without. Great hobby!! I would post Dad's website, but I think I get in trouble for advertising. If you are interested PM me!

Whoever overhauled this R in Canada before I got it did one bang up job. This thing hits harder than any other one I have ever heard it it will pull it's a, er ah, butt off. It never fails to start. Had to replace one of the pistons in the pony, OUCH. A used piston from Polk was $175 plus shipping. I got it running swell now though. I know how those black dashes will pull, got to drive one a while back up in Louisa County. I was really jealous then.

and a Ford I don't have a picture of. I don't know the models off the top of my head because we just use the tractors for work and don't have too many problems with them.

got a 50 hp Farmtrac 60 tractor with 6' front loader/7' mower/box blade/other add ons. Its a little big for only 40 acres but it pulls my neighbors 12' mower just fine. He barrows my tractor and I barrow his mower.
