I recognize that style of jack holding up the front end. Used them a lot back in the day AFTER i left the farm. A lot lighter to carry, i think i was told they used to be solid steel. Recall my Dad coming home one day with the old John Deere G, when he went by there was a huge cut in the sidewall of the rear tire with the inner tube sticking out like a balloon. He didn't know it had happened and had this puzzled look on his face when i was pointing as he drove by. He was not very happy when he saw it.

I grew up on a farm, as I am sure many who watch your channel have.......Necessity is the mother of invention, as I am certain you have heard many times, and the person that needs it up and running isn’t looking for daintiness (although that would be nice) but, for functionality, and generally in short order to get the machine back up and working. I have asked the same question myself many times (why do people do things so hap hazard) and the answer is exactly what I stated above. Sometimes my Dad would simply have to make things work, and in short order, which afterwards didn’t always look pretty, but it got the job done!! I understand that’s not your methodology, but in many cases back in the day, that’s just the way it was, and in some cases still is.

A note about paint between bolted together surfaces. It is oftentimes bad. Paint will cause a false torque and allow hardware to come loose over time as the paint crushes chips and frets it way out of the joint. This is the main reason people run the wheels off new tractors all the time. Tractor wheels and the hubs are often painted this means you have to keep tightening the wheel hardware every few hours when new until things settle out or the bolts come out and the wheel falls off. Always best to bolt bare metal surface to bare metal surface then paint the assembly when possible.
@kevinoscarson2941
4 жыл бұрын
I agree with that to a point. Soft paint bolted together tends to hold much better than fully cured paint. Machines surfaces are another no no for paint to paint contact. Finally almost every manufacturer bolts painted surfaces together to avoid corrosion.

Following your re-build. You might comment on your eventual use for this Super M and why you retained an after-market wide front end. Instead of using an OEM narrow front end for the dominant "row crop" configuration of the Farmall M series. The narrow front was much more versatile for mounting of the front-mount row-crop cultivator, two-row corn picker, etc.
@randallvos
4 жыл бұрын
Narrow front ends and front end loaders tended to be very unstable on uneven ground, thus the aftermarket wide fronts that were available. My grandfather had a 1965 Deere 3020 that was a factory narrow front, he changed that out for an aftermarket wide front made by Schwartz, I'm guessing about the same time he installed the loader.

@larryd8224

@@randallvos My point was that a Super M if used for show purposes would be much more representative if configured with a narrow front end. The Farmall H and M series followed the F-12 and F-20 models and both were dominant in the narrow front configuration. These were row crop tractors. A Wheatland model was sold as a heavy tillage tractor and used in grain-only country. I have never heard narrow front tractors described as "very unstable" - I would need to see data on that. All farm equipment manufacturers sold narrow front end models in volume because that was where the row crop farming demand originated. The front mounted cultivator on row crop tractors almost required each row crop farmer to own at least one narrow front model to be used for cultivation. Before the wide use of Atrazine for weed control (late 1960's) row crop farmers cultivated their corn fields up to three times for weed control and cultivated twice for soybeans.
