Plowed the garden yesterday since it was over. I pulled all the tomatoes. Hal

Plowed mine too. Hope yours was better than mine. This is the first time ever my garden was a flop, too flooded for too long.
 
this is mine. I inherited it from my father-in-law.
how does it differ or is similar to yours?
how much can I realistically pull without burning up my transmission?
would like to change the transmission filter but am floored by the quoted price of $144.00

My Ford does not have the air cleaner outside of the panel' other wise it looks similar. I repalced the inline hydro filter on mine about 10 years ago - it was $46 from new Holland at that time. If someone has a part number cross for the filter I would like to know.

My tractor came with a 3 pt hitch, plow, disc, and culivater. It looked like it was worked hard. I don't pull with mine but I have never had any problem with the hydro. The hydro has a fan and cooling fins in the front - I keep those clean.
 
this was given to my father-in-law to tinker with.
the engine and mower deck was shot.
this is a replacement Kohler engine.
 
You fellows quit early in the year gardening,I'm still getting squash,Okra,Blackeye Peas,tomatoes,Green peppers,cucumbers,have Mustard greens just coming up along with a late planting of Buckwheat for the wife's Honey Bees.As the vegetables die off I'll be taking out rows and planting Crimson Clover as a cover crop to
get the nutrients that might be lost over Winter plus protect the soil from erosion.Next Spring I'll til the Crimson Clover in to increase the organic matter in the soil.
 
I changed my oil filter in 2014, it's a Fram PH43 and cost was about $8.00. Your local New Holland dealer should know which filter to use. My parts manual just has a Gilson part number for the filter and our local auto parts store came up with PH43. I also drained the transmission fluid
and installed Dextron fluid. Hal
 
Where do you get your Crimson Clover? I've been planting barley for a cover crop and I plow that under in the Spring. Hal

Hal ,
I'm thinking of doing the same .... only problem is we are still getting things out of it .. it is also has lots of weeds , couldn't seen to get ahead of them this year ...

was wondering how DEEP do you plow ?? like the picture of you plowing ....

........... mark
 
I've never measured the plow depth, but you can tell it tilts the tractor pretty good. I've had that plow since 1960 as it came with a Viking garden tractor I bought for $15.00. I even have a spare plow point. It took a lot of work so I could get to work on the Wards tractor with the
sleeve hitch. Hal
PS: That frame was made the same as the drawbar and part of the handles of the Viking walk behind.

Here's the Viking G . They also built the Viking Twin, but I never saw any around here. I had 5 or 6 Standard Twins all made by the same company.
The Standard Twin used a 10-inch plow and it pulled it easily. Nice tractors for cultivating. Hal

I plowed the garden on this past Tuesday. It hasn't rained much during August and September and the ground is hard. I measured the last furrow
and the depth is 7 to 8 inches. That Wards tractor was getting a good workout. The governor was really kicking in. I've had that tractor 44 years. Send some rain east. Hal
