Tractor and Attachments

[dhillis]

Finally getting enough trust from my wife's family that they are letting me look around the farm. I was looking for some tractor implements when I came across these.





I'm not a farm kid so I don't know a whole lot about the implements and tractos. I have been trying to read. I started another thread asking about breaking ground and stuff.

Here is the tractor I am assuming use to be used around the farm. There is another tractor around the other side, and then an engine and body of another tractor that looks like it was set up as some type of generator or something.



Most of this stuff probably hasn't moved in over thirty years but since I have been showing an interest in the property I think my FIL is starting to want to start using the farm again. We are working on breaking up about an acre to plant a family garden. It would be for Him, my family, and his brothers and sisters family I think.

Here is my question, he has bought a new tractor with a three point hitch system, is there a premade attachment to go from the john deere implements to the three point so that we dont have to rebuy all new tractor implements, or does it have to be fabbed up at home?

Most newer tractors and respective implements have a 3 point hook which allow the implement to re raised and lowered with hydraulics. The old tractor is a John Deere B made in the 40's with a PTO hook up only. BTW, that tractor has a "Popping John" 2 cylinder motor that is fun as heck to play with.

So PTO is the style of hitch? FIL says it basically just hooked up to the belly of the tractor? Not sure what he meant and didn't want to get out in the mud the other day to figure it out..lol


NEVERMIND. I guess the PTO is the gears that drive certain implements.

You can buy a middle buster plow for 130.00. I would hate to fab up something using those JD plows. I think those are the one that mount to each side of the JD so you can plow between your rows of the garden.

Rubber shortage during the war.....all the rubber going to the military hence the steel wheels.

I asked the FIL about that. The metal tires were because the mesquite is so thick out there. I think they had rubber tires on the other tractor.

During my reading today, it looked like once the war got going, you actually had to get permission from the government to buy a tractor at all!

I could be very wrong but the B I had was not 3 point.. So nothing would transfer over to a new 3 point system.

No they won't. That is why i was looking for an adapter.

Wow. That B is in excellent shape! I would clean them up, along with their impements, and sell them. Use than money to buy some used modern impelements for the new tractor, & enjoy the extra space in the shed.

Of course, convincing the FIL to do this may be pretty tough. He may be pretty attached to them.

Get that JD running and use the implements as they are.

What is the tractor behind it? Ford? I think I see a top link. What implements were they using with that one?

[mjhaverkamp]

Get that old tractor going and use it, that would be cool, I bet it would not take much at all to get it going.
