Keeping them in the family.

Postby Rodney51Cub » Wed Mar 25, 2015 6:59 am

Brought home my Dads 1940 Farmall H, Sunday. He passed away on the 17th. He had told me I had to take care of his tractors. He has a 40 and 44 H, and a 50 Case VAI. He bought both H's around 1993. Only one was running at the time. This H was repainted about 1997. My Dad used it to haul water for his garden and mow with a pull type bush hog. It has been converted to 12 Volt. It runs very well. I will replace the oil pressure gage ( 25 psi with engine off ) water temp gauge ( inoperative ) and change all fluids and tune up stuff. Will take it to some local shows and drive in the county fall parade. It will be a while before I bring the other two home. I have to figure out how to fit everything in the barn and still be able to work on stuff.

Sounds like you were close to your dad; am sad to hear of your loss. You have our sympathy. Lost my dad to cancer last December.

The H and the Case VAI look great. What a great resource of memories sitting there on four wheels... :coffee:

Sorry about your Dad, but now there will many good memories I'm sure having the tractors around. Great looking machines!

The squeaky wheel may get the grease but it's usually the first to be replaced!

Thanks everyone.

Brought home the Case today after an episode of crs. :oops:
Just because you see fuel in the tank does not mean there is enough to get to the carburetor. :oops:
The points and plugs got cleaned and reset though.
Changed the oil when I finally got it home. Will get the grease gun out this week.
Need to try and take some of the slop out of the steering. It is almost a quarter turn now.
Clean it up and haul to the first local show of the year, April 11th. :{_}:

Finally got the 43 H home around the middle of October. Originally thought it was a 44. Have the hood, just have to get the alternator to fit under it.
Had to replace the manifold, it was broke by #4 exhaust. Spent time cleaning both brakes and replacing gauges.
This one has a three point for a 5 foot bush hog and 6 foot grader blade.
