Farmall 1940s

J Boshears · Oct 18, 2014

I just picked up an IH flat rate manual for farmall A,AV,B,BN dated 1942 in very good condition. I was interested in how long some of the repairs on my A were listed but the book only lists the labor charge not the hours. Such as remove and replace clutch $4.40,Engine overhaul $36.40, Clean and paint tractor $9.50. I wish I knew what the labor rate per hour was. Any body know what the rate would have been per hour in 1942?

Is your manual an I&T Flat Rate Manual? The one I have has a copyright date of 1959. On the bottom of pare 2 it states the the prices are based on $5 per hour. Clean and paint in my book is $10.00 or two hours.

was wondering, during the war years, did the govt. regulate labor charges? and did it also regulate flat rate pricing?

I would think that would be about .50 per hour.
