Thanks for sharing this video. I shared it to my Facebook page and subscribed to your you tube channel. I have my own channel that I just started back at the end of November. I love tractors. Although I never owned an M, I sure got to drive a bunch of them. Never have driven an H.

My first job was driving an H pulling a hay wagon at age 6. That was living!

I had a Farmall-m which was 1941. I purchased it in 1977 for a auction sale. The engine need work and the mechanic that worked on it changed it into a super M. I was in high school at the time. I was very pleased with its performance. I and my mother did a lot of work, my mother ran a 8N ford. Now at age 82 I still miss that tractor. I enjoyed your comparison of the two machines. Thank you.

When I was growing up, the M was what you used to pull the H out of the mud.

The M and H series tractors continued into the numbered series. Basically they became live PTO tractors. I've owned an M and a Super H tractor, and they were both great tractors. With the right soil conditions you could pull a 3 bottom plow with an H. The number series 300 and 400 added live power which was a GREAT improvement on the versatility of these tractors. One of the best features of the Super H's and M's was the disc brakes which were far superior to the drum brakes. Another great feature was the ability to adjust the rear wheels to almost any width because you could put the wheels dished in or out, rims wide or narrow, and slide them on the axles nearly a foot on either side. You could even put duals on those tractors, even though they really didn't have the HP for it, unless you dropped in a bigger engine. I think they were the finest tractor of the time, and many are still earning their keep on working farms running augers or pulling wagons. What kind of machine that's 80+ years old can say that??

My parents are both gone from this earth, but they were Farmall fanatics. One of many was the Super M with the deadly farmhand attachment as dad called it. Thanks for the video!

Long story short. Getting my grandfathers m farmall this week. He's been passed away now several years. Grew up using this tractor so stoked to get into my possession. So many memories. Thanks for the videos

Good information as always on the Farmalls. Looking forward to seeing both of them in the field this spring. Stay safe.

We had a Super M with wide front end and a H with the tricycle front end. The H was only used occasionally for a sickle bar mower. My only experience with it was to pull hay wagons when we sold hay a few miles away from the farm. The Super M was for manure spreader, haybine, kicker baler, and brush hogging. As a teen, I was only allowed to run it once running the brush hog over hay to make bedding. Typically, I was always running the Ford Golden Jubilee. It is still on the farm long after they stopped farming. About 8 years ago I ran my neighbor’s Super M brush hogging red brush for days on end. Wish I could have bought it but he sold it.

Great breakdown brother. Red power! BOOM!!! You gotta want it!!! I'm still a JD schill but can appreciate the love for the Farmall. Rob

Cool thanks Farmall for the info. They sure are cool tractors.👍👍

I really enjoyed knowing the differences . My grandpa had 4 M's and 2 H's . The first tractor I got left by myself in the field cultipacking was a C at around 9 or 10 years old .

dad bought a 51 H new and ordered it with the high compression head with larger valves and IHC 3 7/16ths high compression piston set it dynoed at 31hp. . the 44 M i restored came out on distillate but had flat head 4 inch pistons in it when i got it. it cracked a head and a 450 high altitude lp head was on it. it dynoed at 62hp after overhaul. . i ovehauled a lot of M tractors as a IHC dealer mechanic and 52 to 57hp was common depending on which head and compression ratio piston set they had.. if you bought a fully tricked out M&W M with the hand clutch the 9 spd and the stroked engine carb kit and governor upgrade there was one farmer that also did the transmission upgrade as well with heavier gears and bearings. it dynoed at 75 hp and pulled a 5 -14 plow in original 2nd gear but pulled a 4 -14 plow in 3rd better. after breaking the imput shaft bolts and drive yokes off pulling the 5 bottom he went to the 4 bottom. i had to fix it in the field one of the times. he was pulling a 14 ft disk and he had duals on it.. the feild was too wet to load it to take it to the shop. i helped another mechanic drop the belly pump and replace the input shaft and drive yoke in the feild..

I always wondered about the differences between the two (besides the size). Thanks for the video 👍🏻🇺🇸

Both tractors looks great, I bet they do a good job on the field 👍

Thanks for the background,look forward your next vid. Those are fine looking tractors, your making me jealous

As always a great video please keep that snow over there my brother

Just found your channel and subscribed . Spent many nights after school on a Super C plowing and discing Dad got the big tractor a 350. Any way thanks brought back some good memories.

My quick identifier, if I can’t make out the letter in a photo or video, is the steering shaft. It has a bit more angle on the H than the M. Grandad had an 8 acre retirement farm within city limits, and grew corn on it. We used two-row equipment on a1948 M, that I spent a lot of hours on, into the mid-eighties. A you said about putting on Super M parts, he always said it had the Fire Creator pistons of the Super in it. It powered the irrigation pump with a roughly 20’x10” (?) belt. Great running tractor! For all I know, it may still be in service.

Just found you and wanted to show support. 7* ! Yikes! Beautiful bright red against the winter skies.

Nice looking tractors, thanks for sharing the differences

Thanks! Answered all my questions.

Neat! Well done 🚜🚜

👏🏽 awesome tractor 🚜 I like the M great 👍🏽 information as always

That was interesting! I was wondering about some of those things.

Now this was a great idea for us city folks to learn about Farmall Specially since JD is most the popular. Awesome comparison and historical facts. You my friend are definitely a Farmall Fanatic. They both beautiful and sound great. Dang the M has taken people life. That’s a mean machine.

Very informative buddy!

Those are some cool tractors

Great information and comparison of both.

Very Informative video...

You broke it down well! Thanks!

My Dad bought a new H in 51, 10 years before I was born. Potatoe farm. By the time I was 9 or 10 I was cutting hay with the sicle mower, and cultivating 2 rows of spuds with the front mount cultivators. Engine was replaced in 69, claimed 40 or 44hp, new engine had distributor instead of mag. Pulled a 3 bottom plow. It was an old work horse. Loved that tractor. Great video. Thanks. PS the bill of sale for it was in a drawer and cost $1995.00 in may 1951.

My dad had a super h that he used for racking hay and other small stuff.He always had his super m hooked up to the farm all 2 row corn picker.my first 6-8 years of life I never saw the super m then one day he decided he needed another tractor so he took the corn picker off.it was like we had bought a new tractor lol.i still remember being a little guy and me and my dad going to spread manure with the m. Farmalls are fantastic tractors.

Now your just showing off..Farmall fantiac..love that sound..

💥 interesting info 👍

Good video interesting content ty💪👍👍

We had a narrow front Farmall H with a belly mower for mowing our yard as a kid. I always remember wishing that it would have had live pto, because I was always having to step in the clutch, because we had so many obstacles in our tight yard and then the mower would shut off.

Hi. I watch your channel from Australia. Love it. Have an aw6. A w6 made in Australia 🇦🇺. Tough as and pulls like a mule. Awesome. Keep up the good work. 👍

Great video bro! You putting the Pusa plan to work for ya! And it’s workin!!! Good going brother! Your exactly right about the 1952 yearly wage..... but I really like both of those babies!

Another good video. When I was a kid I worked on my uncle's farm. I can remember discing with a Farmall Super "M" from daylight until after dark. I would fallow my cousin who was driving an International 966 diesel. He had lights and I didn't. So I followed him the best I could My uncle and cousin said that when they wanted to see where I was the only thing they could see was the muffler that was glowing red. Back then you would unhook the disc and then grind some corn to feed pigs. Then hook the disc back up and head back to the field. Some time after that I pulled a hay wagon. unloaded onto a bale elevator into the hay loft in the big barn. I threw a lot of bales. Baling time the hole Family came out to help. The woman would set up meals right in the field. We had a couple of Families that farmed and helped each other. It was huge Fun. Then during corn harvest I would pull a gravity wagon to the elevator to unload. Sometimes two at a time. Good times!

A 1948 farmall H was probably the first tractor I ever saw one year older than myself my parents said by the time I was two any time Dad wasn't using it I was on it. I was in love ♥️

✝️🇺🇸👍great video I learned how to drive on a m I was so little had to use both feet to push in the clutch I sure do miss them days . Still have that tractor means alot to me now that my grandfather is gone

About to pick up that exact tractor the H I mean, really enjoying your videos and information keep them coming!

We had a 1949 M my grandpa bough brand new and my father and I used it every day on our dairy farm up until we sold our cows in 1990! I still own and use it for small jobs around our farm! It has a little pony tank on it and my dad told me that back when he was young the tank was used for gas To start the tractor and the big tank was filled with kerosene. Since kero was 10 cents a gallon and gas was 15 cents they started it on gas and turned a valve to run tractor on kero all day. Food for thought I guess! 👍🏻 The sad part is the cost of that tractor wouldn’t buy front tires for one of my tractors I have now!

Great video

thank you for this its Great!

My Pop rescued a 1947 M that had been in a barn that burned down. He got it in 1952, the year I was born, Pop, and Uncle Clifford rebuilt it that winter. We used it on our dairy farm, for everything. We had a Farmall 14 that Grampa bought new in 1939, and a 1953 Super C Pop bought when I was a teenager. One of my brothers has the M, now.

My grandpas M has the M&W pistons, governor and throttle, and 2 speed. I took it to college and got it running after 15 years of sitting in an open shed and it dynoed 40hp. He put that stuff on it after poking a hole through the side of the block while picking.

My Grandfather bought an H new NFE with loader,snow bucket,calivator, & bolt on rear sickle at mower $800 picked many rocks with that tractor & loader. ( hang on tight to that wheel, that spinner will Wack your wrist) tough to steer with loader. Great videos buddy.

I only got to drive my bosses wide front Farmall M once back in 2007. I remember that the seat had no support, so it traveled way up and way down driving down the pasture pulling a creep feeder. Then I pulled an old tandem axle New Holland manure spreader and fully loaded it and the cast iron draw bar broke in half and there was the manure spreader laying on the ground. They should have had a heavier draw bar on them. :(

I have a C,H and M. 45 degrees in feb. In Iowa here it usually is -10 Nice Vid

Great comparison of the 2 machines

For some reason I love the little H tractors I have 3 so far two 41s and a 48. I wish I could get one for every year they made them. one huge difference is the H tractors had a option it could be bought with steel wheels. Great video nice looking tractors!

😎 that you showed your H and M and showed the differences..

My dad had a 49 M and he put an M&W stroker crank and M&W high compression pistons in it. He put it on a dyno and it cranked out 63 hp! It's amazing how much power an H had on the belt, especially when you put an M belt pulley on it! We had a steel pulley! Really rare!

I LOVE FARMALL'S I used to be married to Missouri Gal and her uncle owned a huge farm and had a mess of Farmalls around the place. He got me to mow the back 40 with his M, down in deep Missouri, one afternoon mid summer. DANG it was hot but they kept me supplied with iced Tea so all good. Sadly we split up and Im back in the UK were no one has even HEARD of these magnificent tractors. :((( Maybe 1 or 2 over here

I owned a ‘39 M for a while. It was a beastie

I have the 46 H my grandpa bought new and I remember him telling me he got the tractor, corn picker, cultivator, drawbar and wheel wrenches etc. the whole kit and kaboodle for $1350. It was rebuilt last in the late 70's with a Super H kit.

It's Rock Island, IL. Rockford, IL is also a northern Illinois city. 🙂 Love your videos! Keep em coming...

👍👍Nice!

Excellent video

I have both an M and an H. M with wide front end, H with row crop front end. Tbh the H is hands down my favorite of the 2. Yes the M has a little more power, but it also has more weight that engine is pushing so it's pretty much a wash. Tire size has a pronounced effect on power to the wheels, and imo lots of people make a mistake by putting bigger rubber on them than was original.

I have a 1941 H, runs like a top! Those old farmall are amazing

Very interesting thanks

*You know a lot about those farmalls thanks for the lesson* #WorldsOkayestFarmer

Good info our 49 G we had on the farm had a m and w power block in it and dyno tested at 49 hp

I have a 1948 M and I put duals on it and it looks awesome

That turbo sound good👍

Thank you again for a very informative video on the differences between the H and the M. I notice the differences between the colors of the two tractors side by side. My guess is that one and/or the other has been repainted at some point. I personally have a 1950 super A that needs to be completely repainted. How does a person know exactly what the orginal color/shade to achieve/obtain ? Maybe you could do a short video on this issue, or just even e-mail me information ? I appreciate your videos so much, and they have given me much enjoyment... Mark

Nice soundtrack!

Great video ! I grew up on farmall tractors had a M and a super C and we had a super M with a one row cotton picker on it and 2 504 farmall diesels wish I still had those tractors

I spent some time on the M, when i was a child, but mostly i Raked hay with the 200. The M was on the baler. Later we had a 400, i didn't like the 400 to heavy to steer. Loved the 756 the 826 and the 986 thought!

Oh , 😎the beauty of it (Farm)all🖐♥️

interesting to know the differences *full view😊 👍Au👍got our like😊 supported*

M and w hand clutch were used a lot when baling and filling silo. When you get bunch up in front of the pick up. The PTO would keep running allowing to keep feeding the baler.

In the 1940s-1950s, small farmers were still adapting horse drawn equipment to be towed by a tractor

My Grandpa had the H and the M good time riding on them.

Good basic info

great tractors

Nothing like a ol school tractor love the videos Farmall

Hello I have just recommended you to a new friend of mine I told him you were the man👍💕

Yeah that was the new long well base sir, the one I saw had the main pipe under the radiator and the wheels were at that same length. But gorgeous tractor's none the less. My first boss owned several h's and m's now his one grandson owns the 2 h's and they are what are called sister tractors one followed the other in the serial numbers, now the grandfather told me the motor is way less than the pto horsepower, like almost half as much.

Very good explanation

I am here listening and dont understand a thing but damn you make it sound interesting Farmall my friend.

Had a 53 SuperM/TA with a reworked head and a paper air cleaner Power Steering and it would work with a 400 side by side, but the 400 had live hydraulics and PTO so the next step was a 706.

I had a 39 M. Low serial number. Had 36 inch rear factory rims.They only had 36s on the first m models

My dad's 1941 H with a narrow front-end was a cinch to steer. I worked one summer for a neighbor who had a Super M-TA. It was dang near all I could do to steer it - so much heavier.

I know we got a couple of each . never been rebuilt still running good machines

Nice tractors.

Your M and H is awesome, but the M is amazing!

Some difference’s are the starter placement on the bell housing and steering shaft angle.

Thanks. For information. My uncles farmed. One like red. The other liked green. Just educational in the engineer ing field. No computer simulation ..field experience.

Nice to learn more about the vintage Farmalls. If you get a chance, can you run one of my playlists this week. I need 133 hours to hit 4K. I'm so close!! Thanks!

BABAAM! It don’t get no gooder than THIS!

I will give you a fact about how the H and the M are the same. They have the same dimensions. If you measured from the back axle to any one of the holes on the frame, they're the same . Great sounding H !!!!!!

My grandpa told a story of when he started farming in the early 40s he traded his horses for an "H". His dad, my great grandpa wasn't happy he got rid of the horses, but after using the "H", my great grandpa bought an "M"

Some noticable differences.👍 The s is silent 😉

Nice comparison think may have this backwards but think they had kerosene heads where they started on gas and ran on Kerosene. H'& M's were very versatile tractors used from loggers sawmill and farmers. Have a good one Farmall booom

Hey Bud, that was some interesting facts about those two machines. I was wondering what the difference was between the M and the Super M. I just like the H, that's the one I like seeing work. Have a BLESSED day.

M@W sleeves and pistons were used to rebuild many h and m over the years gave them a little more get up and go
