I think that is whats left of an old tarpaper type siding,the kind that looked like bricks,,its an old barn

I believe the machine in photos 3,4 & 5 is a mechanical transplanter. Looks kind of primitive, but I'll bet it speeded up the operation and made it easier too!

SweetFeet · Jan 20, 2016

That's some nice rust too!

DENNIS MIN · Jan 20, 2016

Larry,

I do appreciate your photos.

If you can lay the levers down flat, just turn it upside down. That is the first spring tooth that I have seen with a 3 point.

That yellow implement with small wheels behind the harrow is that a log splitter??

That tractor is knee-deep in hydraulics. H or M?

Stan - Florida · Jan 20, 2016

I think it's an 'H'. Since an 'M' is a little longer than an 'H', the steering rod is shorter and more steeply slanted on an "H".

If I'm wrong, I'm sure I will be connected.

Is the planter a tobacco planter?

Zachary Hoyt · Jan 20, 2016

You're right about the slant but I think the H and M are about the same length since they both could use the same loader and cultivators and such. My impression is that the M engine is a little taller and that sets the steering support bracket up higher on the front end where the steering shaft goes above the engine thus making the shaft run closer to horizontal. I have had several Hs but no Ms so I may be all wrong about this.

My guess is cement mixer.

AzPeapicker · Jan 20, 2016

I think that peice of equipment is either a cement mixer or mortar mixer .

I have a drag just like that. Well, maybe a little more beat up. Any idea who made them? I was leaning twards home made, but now I see there's more than just mine.

The tractor is an H Farmall. The trailer is loaded tail heavy. The yellow implement is a mortar mixer, built with its own small engine in the somewhat rectangular compartment. So it is not a tractor implement.

Yes it is a transplanter there was a wooden barrel mounted cross ways in front of the wheels and it was set up with a trip as wheel turned the wheels would cause it to trip and release some water in the planting furrow and you would set your transplant in the water and the water draw the root ball of the plant into the ground.

Goose · Jan 20, 2016

You're correct.

I have two H's and an M. The M's engine is about an inch and a half taller than an H, going by the "neck" at the top of the governor. The governors interchange, except the top neck and linkage are taller and need to be mated to whichever tractor it's on.

Also, IH built the M's and H's on the same wheelbase intentionally so mounted implements would interchange.

You don't really realize the difference in size between the two until you get off of and H and onto an M, or vice versa.

mortar mixer it is a side mixer not a drum mixer for cement

Tim(nj) · Jan 20, 2016

My grandfather had a Ferguson, neighbors had a Dearborn. Looked the same but weren't quite exactly the same. I know Pittsburgh Forgings and Farm Tools Inc. made stuff like that for said companies to brand back in the late 40s, early 50s, not sure who exactly built what for whom though.

David G · Jan 20, 2016

That is one of the worst loading jobs I have ever seen.

db4600 · Jan 20, 2016

If my memory serves me, I recall a trivia question that tripped me up. The H is physically longer than the M. How it is measured I can not say so I trust an IH man will confirm or discount this tid bit.

ShadetreeRet · Jan 21, 2016

Don't you know it was a handful to pull that thing!

TWheat · Jan 21, 2016

Looks like an old Bemis tobacco transplanter.

jon f mn · Jan 21, 2016

Hey Larry, check that harrow over for a case eagle on it. It could be a case made for the eagle hitch
tractors. It looks different from the ones I've seen, but similar.

D beatty · Jan 21, 2016

The wheel base of an H is just over 125" and the wheel base of an M is 133".

D beatty · Jan 21, 2016

Let me correct myself its not wheelbase but over all length.

Leroy · Jan 21, 2016

That hitch to me says Ferguson and some Massey Harris implements were same as Ferguson except for paint. Cannot tell if color is paint or rust. If Ferguson on part that holds top ling should on lrft side have a tag or rivits where one was. The Ferguson rotary hoe hitch was made exactly like that hitch. Moving just take apart. The rods lifting the back should be just a pin with cotter to hold to lift frame with 3 bolts at bottom to remove it. then to take apart each section should be to 3/8" bolts holding 2 sections together. Usually rusted and beat, may need to cut them out.
