Farmall Rear Axle and Trans

Rifman · Feb 21, 2021

Hello,
I am interested in building a trucktor for fun, but I would also like it to be useful. I would like to use a GMC C60 for the front, and a Farmall rear and tranny of some type for the rear. I have seen people use Farmall M rear ends, but they seem mostly to be show trucktors as I am sure an M axle would not take the horsepower and torque of a big V8 427. I would like the tractor to have a standard 3 point and PTO as well for use with augers etc. Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Massy Harris 55 rear ends are radically strong. A Farmall M is maxed out at 60 HP at farming speeds but just fine at the pressures and torques found at insane speeds. Jim

im sure axles will handle it just fine, the wheel will spin. its what's between engine and diff.

An M will be plenty strong for a 'trucktor'.Just let the rear wheels have a bit of slippage. Tiein' em hard to the ground is what tears em up.

Where are you located? I have a Farmall 656 chassis that could work, has three point and PTO.

Except the Massey 55 is rare compared to an M. Lots of Ms sitting in fencerows and salvage yards. Hardly ever see a Massey of any sort in any condition, let alone a 55.
