What is this part for? On a Farmall Regular

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

Just wondering what this "bar" is for across the bottom of an old Farmall Regular. Is it just to protect the oil pan... or some other purpose?

Oily rag rack?

It is an Under-Belly mount for the remote camera.
It worked really well for seeing if your front tires were pointing in the proper direction. :>)

You're right, it's to protect the oil pan from being hit by the cultivators.

I would think it would be for a front mount cultivator. That would be the only thing years ago that would be front mounted but I'm not 100% positive. I'm sure some one would have a parts book that may show that piece explaining what it is for. This is the only thing that comes to my mind.

I'm inclined toward the cultivator-mounting theory- if it was just a guard for the oil pan, why the hole in the center?

For me, it would be to pull myself around on the creeper when I was changing oil- then to forget about and bump my head on when I was getting up.

Are those lichens growing on the frame?

I think it's where the laser mounts for the GPS auto steer.

its a chin-up bar for midgets.......

Old F-20,
You could be right... LOL

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

rrlund,

Geez, I think we got "took"... our Regular doesn't have auto steer or GPS!

Dave in GA,

Yeppers... the most lichened-up tractor I have ever seen! Have more pics to post of it just because of the lichens - have to resize them first.

A different kind of head-banger.

Have to buy me a parts book for a Regular. We have the user manual - but I think I want a parts book too.

Thanks John B.

Bill Krosnicki,

Thanks for the info.

That is what an older gentleman told my husband years ago...we just wanted to verify if that was indeed what it was for.

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

Gee, a remote camera is yet another option we did not get on our Regular. I think we got rooked! LOL.

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

Or a clothes line... dry your laundry while you work the in field.

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

Thanks for replies everyone.

Sweet Feet, I for get if youy regular is a wide tread or a narrow tread tractor. If it is a wide tread it could be a part of a mounted corn picker, do not know if they would mount on a narrow tread or not. But then again you are a bit far north for corn but did it come from some place corn was raised?

I thought it was a plant hanger for a yard art tractor.

I took my bar into work about a week ago to straighten it back out. When I read your title I just had to see if this was the part you were referring to.

Its an oil pan guard 28358-B for the 221G/N221G cultivator. No.7 tooling (special) for hillside cultivation. Don't bother looking in the tractor parts book, these parts are found in the books that come with the cultivator. My F30 is equipped for a mounted picker and all the special parts are in the picker book and not the tractor parts book.

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

Leroy,
This bar is not on our Regular (ours is not narrow tread). This was just one we found in our wanderings recently - so I had to take some photos.

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

Well, I can see where one would work for a plant hanger... but don't think I could get away with that one (even if ours had this bar).

SweetFeet · May 28, 2013

36F30,
Thanks for the part numbers. Just fun to know for future reference.
