That Farmall is pulling a disc, mulcher and a harrow. It also has an electric generator attachment in front of the magneto the way it looks.
 
I expect the Farmall operator is getting an education on "wheel slipage".

I never saw that tread pattern before, thanks for the pictures !
 
I had a F-30 like in the top picture. It a Brute The steering wheel on them were real arm breakers.The farmer that had it before farmed a lot of wheat ground in Dakota's so he had them all souped up for pulling big plows He must have been a kin of JD Had High altitude pistons .025 plained off of the head, Heisler govener and a special carberator. She would spin 85 HP yokes out of a PTO if you hit a slug in Haysilage Just a plain mean tractor gitrib
 
Yes, that is a mean looking F 30 and I think it would sound nice with that tall exhaust stack.
I think that tread design was a very early Firestone. Thank you for these old photos.clint
 
A lot of those who wanted to put in long hour would rigg up some way of having lights i notice this one has a light.gitrib
 
Just hadn't gotten here yet... Love the John Deere! I think it is a B. But I have a hard time distinguishing A's from B's in photos.

Also like the F30 with the duckbill.

Have to remember to show these to my husband - but at daughter's place on her laptop (hate lapttops - I like a regular keyboard and my big monitor much better.
 
The guy on the John Deere looks to be about 6 ft., 6 in. tall. The steering wheel is between his knees!
 
I always thought that many Farmalls of that era looked off to me - the scale is all wrong on that back tire! What was the reasoning for such a small diameter? The steels were larger. Rubber issue at the start of rubber tires?
 
You could get smaller rims for the rears and early treads were like what is pictured. Gots to remomber rubber was new and it took a time to get treads for max traction.
 
The F-20s also had the gens mounted in front of the mags. Theres a pair of them in this area and realy get looks at local shows.
