If any body out there needs parts for this great tractor just contact me, wildcat700@hotmail.com and I will see what I can find. I found out that there are a lot of farmalls in my area. When my tractor does break my dad and I always get it going some how. woods c. swinburn wrote on Monday, January 10, 2000 (PST): I'd like to hear more about your project restoring the old farmall B. I just bought one a couple of months ago which is frozen up and in otherwise bad shape, but I want to restore it. Your comments are an inspiration. thanks, woods woods c. swinburn wrote on Monday, January 10, 2000 (PST): I'd like to hear more about your project restoring the old farmall B.

Would like to see a picture of the finished product. Thank you. Tom from Alaska Rev. Jim Fredrickson wrote on Thursday, January 13, 2000 (PST): I restored a 47 H Farmall that my dad bought in 1951. It had been setting out in a field unused for 10 years so it was in similar condition to yours. KEVIN RUPP wrote on Saturday, January 15, 2000 (PST): I AM IN A SIMILAR SITUATION. MY WIFE AND I HAVE RECENTLY MOVED TO MY GRANDFATHER'S MICHIGAN HOUSE, 1400 MILES AWAY FROM OUR COLORADO HOME. THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 65 ACRES LEFT HERE OF WHAT USED TO BE MY GRANDFATHER'S FARM. PARKED IN ONE OF THE SHEDS FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS WAS MY GRANDPA'S, BOUGHT NEW IN 1952, FARMALL SUPER "M". THIS WAS SOMETHING TO SEE AS I HAD REMEMBERED ALL THE STORIES MY FATHER USED TO TELL US OF HIS FARMING AND CUSTOM COMBINING DAYS AS A KID WHILE USING THIS SUPER "M". THE TRACTOR HAD BEEN UNDERMINED BY A WOODCHUCK CAVERN AND HAD SUNKEN INTO THE EARTH FLOOR UP TO ITS AXLES, FRONT AND REAR. AFTER SOME WORK I HAD EXTRICATED THE TRACTOR FROM ITS HOLE. I DRUG IT TO THE WORKSHOP WHERE AFTER A BATTERY, FRESH GAS AND A SOAKING OF SOME WD40 IN THE SPARKPLUG HOLES SHE STARTED RIGHT UP. WHAT A THRILL TO HERE HER PURR. THE TRACTOR IS USED QUITE OFTEN THESE DAYS. IN FACT, WE USED IT LAST YEAR TO PULL TREES, PLOW, DISC, PLANT AND CULTIVATE TWO SMALL FOOD PLOTS OF CORN FOR THE DEER AND OTHER WILDLIFE IN THE AREA. IM PRETTY SURE I'D LIKE TO RESTORE MY GRANDPA'S SUPER "M" MYSELF, BUT I'M IN THE TOOLS AQUISITION MODE RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T SANDBLAST OR PAINT FOR LACK OF THE RIGHT TOOLS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROJECT. IF ANYONE HAS ANY HELPFUL COMMENTS OR TIPS, THEY WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED.

Mark Tomek wrote on Sunday, January 30, 2000 (PST): Nice Story, What did you do about the cracked block and where did you get your repair parts, please? My neighbor has one with the same problem and it is just sitting there. Maybe I want to make him an offer and fix it. Thanks, Mark redrev wrote on Thursday, January 16, 2003 (PST): Nice going...another one saved from the scrap heap. I always enjoy a good restoration story and an "in the family" tractor makes the story even better. Not only that, I'm glad to see another "goodwin" in the hobby. I've messed with old iron for 50 fine years. Geo. Goodwin Charles Park wrote on Thursday, March 27, 2003 (PST): Nice story! Would be nice to see before and after pictures. I am restoring an M that has been in my family for a long time. Harmon Moody wrote on Thursday, March 27, 2003 (PST): Nice to hear that remembering someone with a tangible object is still in vogue. I would have wanted to remember my grandfathers in someway like you have done. cw wrote on Wednesday, October 29, 2003 (PST): Good to hear your dad is doing good,luck for the 'ol B',and to your dad. cw dennis in nc wrote on Thursday, November 25, 2004 (PST): in 2000 my dad found a 1939 B in a barn in NEW JERSEY the lady said they got it in new in 39 and due to a death it had been in that old barn since 1941. its been restored and only does show work these days . everything is 100% with working lift and two hill plows on the rear. i have been told it may be the finest one out their. PatsPOS wrote on Thursday, November 25, 2004 (PST): Glad to see you and your dad are spending time working on tractors and getting along! Before I caught the tractor bug myself (I'm 34), I helped my dad rebuild the engine in his 8N...definitely not the most fun I've ever had. I'd like to revive the man who invented the flathead engine, just so I could kill him again! =) All kidding aside, it was a learning experience for me AND him, and I'm sure we'll be wrenching together for the next project. Not like we're lacking for projects...just up to my dear ol' dad to tell my what our next one is! =) Pat Lourens wrote on Wednesday, June 01, 2005 (PDT): You are a very fortunate son. I wish I had the oppertunity to do something like that with my dad. He passed away and I miss him. Carlton Grambo wrote on Saturday, November 26, 2005 (PST): I was born in 1948 but the first tractor I remember is the "B". Dad traded a w-30 and the B in for the Oliver 77 in 53 or 54. I think even if my brothers and I love the good green one, Dad was always red in a way. Good luck and many happy hours with your B. Roy M. Goodwin wrote on Saturday, November 26, 2005 (PST): Enjoyed the article, if Bill Goodwin should see this, please e-mail me. My relatives came to Texas from S. Carolina and Florida in the 1830's and I just wondered if we are related. Thanks. BULLETHAULER wrote on Friday, December 26, 2008 (PST): A great story. Do you have any pics of the finished tractor? bullethauler wrote on Friday, July 02, 2010 (PDT): Sure would like to see pictures of the finished product. Quality time with parents/children is almost a thing of the past. Congratulations on the time with Dad,you will never reget it. Jose Maria V. Verzosa wrote on Tuesday, January 05, 2016 (PST): Wishing you and your Dad all the best. I have memories of Farmall tractors.
