Old Farmall Tractors

[Southern Elk]

My grandpa had a farmall cub. I mowed a lot of grass with a sickle bar on it and disked a ton of weeds under with it. My dad and aunts sold it a year or so after he passed. I kinda wish it was kept as a nostalgia piece but my dad has a much more modern and useful kubota. I’m not sure I didn’t see my grandpa’s old cub driving around in a field the other day, still in phenomenal shape if it was

When I was a kid, I loved to garden. I always wanted a Cub. I thought it was so cool to see people working their gardens with one. Seemed like they were perfect for it.

My buddies dad completely restored a cub and then got drunk one afternoon and flipped the thing over backwards on himself climbing a hill with it and when it came over on himself he grabbed the fender. Lost all of his fingers on his right hand. Lucky the idiot didn't get crushed to death.

The “stranger” joke gets brought up frequently. Lol

On the farm we had a couple graham-bradley tractors. All grandpa ever said about them were they came from sears. Long after they were gone and the internet became a thing i learned that only something like 2000 were ever made and we had 2. All i remember about them was they were crank handle started. They were in rough shape but actually ran.

Earlier this week, while visiting my dad’s old home place, we saw a neighbor cutting hay with an old Allis-Chalmers. That tractor seemed old to me when I was a kid. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of it.

That’s what my grandpa used on his 80 acres in MO. I ended up going back to MO for college after he passed away. That cub had not run in over 25 yrs. I pulled the carb, had it cleaned up, and put it back on. Fired right up. Used it to pull a single gang plow, disc and a spring tooth harrow to make a small food plot on the farm while I was at school. That tractor was bulletproof!

This old tractor has been sitting under the shed at my grandparents’ place for as long as I can remember. I believe it’s a Farmall M. It belonged to my great grandfather. I would love to see it restored one day. Tractors and farm equipment have come a long way since then.

I bet with very little work you could get it running. if the engine is seized, get it turning and take the carb apart and clean it. file the points and you may just be in business.

This is an old McCormick WD-9 I used to mow and bale with. Did some seeding too. Currently being restored. Didn’t take much to get it running.
