my 48 CASE DC and Duncan loader still puts in time on my farm
cnt

Fullers Farmalls · Mar 15, 2016

1939 9N Does all the plowing, cultivating, and some belt work.
1944 H does the loader and brush hog work.
1953 Super M does the planting, disking, picking, and some belt work.

JD630-2520 · Mar 15, 2016

1957 520. Does all the odd jobs. The neighbors look at us like we are dumb for using it. We wonder how you can use a 100 hp tractor for
small jobs.

tracto-man · Mar 15, 2016

Love the muffler, (or lack of) on the 9n!

DeltaRed · Mar 15, 2016

My 1937 reversed F12'loader is my oldest that is used regularly,I cultivate with a '45 M. My 1256 and 706 the oldest in the area
for big tillage tractors.

Fullers Farmalls · Mar 15, 2016

It has since been fixed. Pinched it off when I hit a stump. Went like that for quite a while but fixed it because I like my hearing.

RBnSC · Mar 15, 2016

My 641 is the oldest at the farm.

Richard G. · Mar 15, 2016

Guess I am not the oldest. My 42 JD H gets worked a lot around here. It is my favorite tractor and my 52 8N is next.

old-9 · Mar 15, 2016

PS the lazy 39 only looks good, it's retired. joe

casecollectorsc · Mar 15, 2016

I guess this DC Case is the oldest one with a job to do......

Bill VA · Mar 15, 2016

Model 50 Diesel, 1962 year make, IMHO one of the finest tractors MF ever made. Still going strong.

Fitted with MF32 sickle mower. 7ft - pitman drive.

onefarmer · Mar 15, 2016

1947 Farmall M with a JD45 loader I use it to move round bales and feed them.

vscummins · Mar 15, 2016

Do they chains help plowing ? I've often thought about putting em on

1206SWMO · Mar 15, 2016

I rent my farm out but it seems like I'm doing something with my 1953 E-5 Co-op all the time.....This is one
easy starting and good running tractor..

rusty6 · Mar 15, 2016

Welll, most of you guys have me beat. The oldest tractor that sees any serious work here is the Cockshutt 40. Its a 52 model and mainly runs
the snow blower (but not this winter). I did a little rotary cutting with it but otherwise it had an easy winter. The real workhorse is this
1964 model Massey Super 90. A front end loader tractor is real handy and there is always work for it. Carrying hay bales all winter for the
cattle is its main job in winter. Raking hay, hauling bales and buckets of gravel all summer.

Bob Harvey · Mar 15, 2016

Oldest and only tractor around here (1953 Model 60 ). Towing the Mega trailer. Lives in a heated shop ( retired like me). Bought and farmed from 1971 - 1976.

Royse · Mar 15, 2016

I don't actually farm with them, but this is my '36 F20 on a "political campaign".

And my '39 H running the baler last summer.

Dave Sherburne, NY · Mar 15, 2016

My son's 1953 Cockshutt 50 with a Cockshutt plow behind it.

Mike(NEOhio) · Mar 15, 2016

'51 A for baling till I finish the rebuild on the E4. '46 E3 is plum wore out and weak but I use it to move loads.

37chief · Mar 15, 2016

Not on the farm. I use this tractor in my disking business. It's built in the late 30's. Stan

s,mac · Mar 15, 2016

My 1951 Oliver 66 is used all the time.

jturbo10 · Mar 15, 2016

My 1955 John Deere 60, 1950 Oliver 77, and 1965 John Deere 3020 and 1980 IH-3588

howdy1960 · Mar 16, 2016

Only tractor here. My 43 2N pulling some maple saplings last summer shortly after engine job and before remounting FEL for wintertime duties.

John Deere D · Mar 16, 2016

JD 520....Totally dependable and functional:

vscummins · Mar 16, 2016

Does the drivline on that plow twitch with every stroke as you pull it through the field 👹👹👹👹😹😹😹

sms · Mar 16, 2016

All I own are old tractors and I try to exercise them.

ASEguy · Mar 16, 2016

Great thread Larry. Really enjoyed all the posted pictures. Some of these are calendar photo's.

55a · Mar 16, 2016

55 300 still working in hay fields and other needed duties

db4600 · Mar 16, 2016

I came across a copy of 1988 " engines and engineers" magazine. Massey Ferguson was doing a search for the oldest Massey tractor in use. A gentleman in Canada was using an early Massey (I want to say 20's) for his belt power on his feed mill. He won a new 375 and a trip to England. The oldest U.S. winner was a 1927 Wallis that was used on a Wisconsin dairy on the manure spreader. He won $1000. In 1990 that seemed archaic, but if we think about it today a 60 year old tractor is not out of line.

Leroy · Mar 16, 2016

1944 Ford 2N that Dad bought new in May of 44, anything and everything that I need to do around what I have left of the farm. Also have a 41 9N but it is apart for engine rebuild.

notjustair · Mar 16, 2016

My 49 M Farmall grinds feed every week - 10 days.
I think it's easier on a grinder to have a small tractor
that will give when the load is tough. I never sheer
any pins! With that narrow front I can back the
grinder anywhere and without a cab I can put it in
the shed with the 8 foot door.

ss55 · Mar 16, 2016

That's an interesting flat bed in your first picture, with the three outside boards angled towards the center. Does that work better than a completely flat bed?

Nice Farmalls too!

James Howell · Mar 16, 2016

Use "<a href="https://youtu.be/HgKBuc5Qi8Q">Uncle Earl</a>" our 39B to rake hay on occasion and for flag detail on holidays.

formerly ny bill · Mar 16, 2016

55a · Mar 16, 2016
