Am 78 years old, in 1957 cultivated row crop young cotton at my brother-in-law's farm with a Super M and a four row front mounted sweep cultivator with no power steering, brother one had better eaten his Wheaties, good old days. After my extravaganzas retired from watermelon farming six years ago. Now riding my Harleys daily, greetings from South Texas.

One stop shop. Man you take great care of your Farmalls!

Another great video, thanks for sharing and take care my friend.

Dropping another LIKE on your video! Watching and Supporting!

Back in the day these tractors were advance in their performance ppl like you are important for us who are not farmers bc we can learn to appreciate the history of farming

Guy Fay is another IH author I recommend.. A lot of knowledge about early IH and Farmalls...

Thanx again , Farmall 😎🤗

Perfect thumbnail!! I'm glad you listened to me👍...BOOM 💥

Great information. I have all the parts, I think, to put hydraulics on my 48 M. My Dad evidently had them on it before, and took them off at some point. Thank you!

My M is set up the same way. Thanks for the info!

Great video!

Drastic famatic awsome job on it

BABAAM!! It’s fascinating to learn about farm equipment from the 40’s! Awesome video sir!! I did notice that they didn’t have any cushion on the seat...ouch!

Speaking of Kenneth Updike.. I highly Recommend any of the several books he has written about IH and Farmall tractors.... He has a ton of knowledge!!

Thanks for the video my friend

I was running hydraulic fluid in my 63 Fordson Super Dexta until the rear end gears had a problem. The hydraulic fluid was not heavy enough for the gears and it is all the same on those Fordson tractors. I have since gone back to the 30sae oil. I have found that the hydraulic seems to work better. Just my experience. Good luck.

I have the H with the predator 212, I wasn't familiar with the hydraulic system, thank you for the video.

Great video. My M doesn't have any hydraulics and I want to set mine up just like your M. This helps alot. Now I just need parts..lol

Thanks buddy 😊

Very informative video as always. Thanks for sharing!!

Great video and information good job

This video full video watching new friends, big likes

Very timely. Sounds like HyTran would be a good fluid, I might have the yellow bucket fluid in my MTA , thanks for the info. Take care

Good Job mate explaining that. Dont own a Farmall myself. Allways been a Ferguson's or Ford's then later the Massey Ferguson. Belarus 920 probably the newest one. My brother's has the 1958 Massey Ferguson 35 152 Perkins 3 pot. Nice light tractor for the croft.👍

When I got my 1939 john deere model h it had a hydrolic pump on the pto. But it was on in the most jerry rigged way. It was used to run a sprayer to keep the bugs off of the fields. And it also had a homemade wood saw on the front. Model h clutches spin backwards so you can be driving forward and the clutch will spin backwards

if you use a cultivator with this setup you would tee the high pressure line in to connect the cultivator lift cylinders... as for the 500psi pump vs the 800 psai pumps IHC made an upgrade kit . the newer pump had wider gears and gear casting plus a different pressure relief valve,

good info!

great video ☺

❤❤ Stopping by to show my support from the live. Full watch and like plus this comment ❤🌺

Nice video 👌 my friend 🤗

Those outputs on both sides were set up with mounted cultivators in mind. The one on the right and the front one on the left can lift at the same time for your front cultivators. The back one on the left will delay a bit so when you're at the end of the rows it will keep the rears in the ground until the tractor is out of the end . That is all with one pull on the lower hydraulic lever. Your M has a factory up and down valve probably added later. If your not using your hydraulic push in the bottom lever. It will kick your pump off and keep it cooler and save horsepower. The two way valve should hold position. I have a stanhoist loader and it has two hoses that hook directly to a farmall H or M in the right outlet and the left front outlet . Trip bucket only. It works well.

Great video buddy and beautiful tractor 👍👍

I also recommend Lee Klanchers books on IH and Farmall as well!

I did not know there was a increase in pump output on the newer models- something I will remember when shopping for one!

Farmall fanatic, when I first started viewing your channel, I really didn't care for you. But I continue to watch you. You have grown on me like that. Step sister Grove on a 13 year old brother. Boom! I really enjoy your videos. Keep making more and I will stop leaving comments and let as many other people comment at feels they need to. Boom, baby

I’m getting ready to buy a grist mill..... I need a tractor with a fly wheel! The throttle would adjust the speed of the mill. I definitely am interested to see you plant a field with the H !!!

10 weight oil I dont know alot about engines but your knowledge is amazing to me Good shit brother 1940 before I was born

The setups you have on your tractors ARE NOT factory setups. Those have been cobbled up by previous owners. The original use was just a single acting system that would raise an implement, and just use the weight to lower it. It looks like the systems you have may have been built to use double acting cylinders, sometimes a return line was plumbed into the bottom drain plug to facilitate that. Originally there was one lever to actuate a cylinder, and a relief valve would trip when the cylinder was at maximum extension. And like the pto, the hydraulics are not live, so when you push in the clutch, you lose your hydraulic pump. A GREAT source of information on any of the older tractors is Yesterdaystractors.com.

Great breakdown, great way for people to know when buying parts what is paired for that series

more good info

I don't know what it is about the H but I can't wait to see it put in the 10 acre field. Have a BLESSED day.

perhaps you could do a video on the super m live hydraulic system with the engine mounted pump and hydraulic box behind the belt unit. and the conrtol valve, and power steering valve. explain the different pressure and flow options. and how to service. where to drain.

Hi, good video, nice tractor too. I found you as I am trying to figure out a problem. I have a 1954 super H and my lift arms are stuck up. My system has leaked fluid for.a long time and I just add when i need to use. Today I added about a gallon which surprised me that it took that much. Went to raise my blade on the three point and it went right up, no problem. Drove to get the brush hog and pushed control rod forward and nothing. I’m stuck in the up position and it won’t lower. Got any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Ps, I had been running straight 30 weight but couldn’t find any today and bought some general tractor hydraulic fluid . Could mixing different oils screwed me up? Ok thanks in advance, Chuck

Hy Tran... Highly recommended by IH Guru Kenneth Updike...

Lift-all hyd units were low press until super's introduced. lift-alls were all single-acting. you have 3 ports tied to the same pressure head. this way when you used a bolt-on cultivator,there was a left-hand frt cyl.a rh frt lift cyl, and a rear one, to lift the track wiper.Valve on fender is a double-acting valve[for dbl acting cyl] In summer with low press lift-all, i have used a wide variety of fluids, From universal tractor fluid,to 90 wt gear oil[talk about fast lifting]

Thanks for this video MY H 1944 looks similar to the '49 you have. Gives me some ideas.

I could be wrong, but I would say with the right valves you could hook up hydraulics for a front loader on your H using the ports on the other side of the tractor. Those are definitely simplistic systems compared to some

I have also see a few Ms running the M&W Live Pumps and those were really good for 1200-1800 PSI... And as for hytran most IH guys will say if you have a TA then you need it since that's what it was engineered for and before the hytran my grandpa claimed they used 80 weight gear oils

I have a '46 H and added a 3pt hitch, at the spool valve I installed a pressure gauge and it maxes out at 850psi.

I read in the manual that the farm all m's had two separate hydraulics, and my tractor has a separate half inch rod welded halfway on that rod, so i assume that allowed you to have the loader on and be able to operate something, whether you mounted a three point hitch or running trailer pulled equipment

Its a great set up on that m.

👍👍

Man Farmall you know your sh!t when it comes to M and H etc. We had one with a belt pulley used on a saw blade. Take Care

Good work. Question: Fuel. Do you have to modify today's gasoline to make it compatible with those older engines?

Awesome description, do got a question. My M has a live pump. Works well except for my disk. Lifts lowers fine but can not hold it up slowly sinks down. Is this a valve issue no other piece of equipment does it just the disk which is the heaviest item I use the hydraulics for. No leaks, it's not slow lifting or lowering anything can't figure it out any ideas?

That is the proper valve for the remote control. The W-4, W-6, and W-9 series tractors have a better hydraulic system, as they are live. The pump is mounted between the magneto, or distributor like on the series 2 Super H's and Ms. Those are 750 or 800 PSI if I remember right. I usually run engine oil in those and the reason I do, is if the seal of the pump leaks oil in the engine, it will not contaminate your engine oil.

I think that the 2 way valve on your M was only offered on Super M's. So it may have the higher perssure relief valve in it but your valve in the belly pump may have a lower psi relief valve.

Can ya make a vidja on making leather piston cups? No one has a decent video on the subject . Just added 5 gallons of aw-68 hydraulic fluid

Hey bud, so how many tractors do you have now? Great to see you.

I just don't get why Denis Rhodes brings up dry TA when people are talking about hydraulic fluid. Early TA's had a dry clutch but the ramp & rollers and gears were in fluid.

Hi i was wondering if maybe you could help me. I have a 51’ Farmall M that i am trying to get the hydraulic system setup using the belly pump. I have plumbed it basically the same way as the Farmall H you show in the video. It might just be air in the system but I am getting fluid blowing back out of my fill cap through the vent hole. When i get all the air out will it still do this or is this something possibly wrong with my control lever? I dont have a live pump otherwise Id be looking at hooking that system up.

I love that h

How does the hydraulics work on your H? Is it good or are you trying it out? Did you go to 02 ga. battery cables? They look larger.

Hello brother, what's your first name anyway? Mine is Mark actually, not patrick jane. I love your videos and just starting it now. Hey, do you remember what inspired you or gave you the idea for networking streams? I know you created the Friday Grow Train phenomenon and we're all being blessed as a result. Great rundown on the hydraulics.

👍

That hydraulic set up is real interesting. You've never tried out the hydraulics on the H? Any idea where the controls come from attached to the fender? One other thing, my H has fender extentions that are just flat pieces of half inch flat iron with 8 or 10 holes drilled in them. They're solid. It gives you plenty of adjustment.

Nice to hear you make your collection earn its keep rather than be a fleet of trailer queens....

Is this setup for dual acting cylinders? So,one hose is for pushing and the second hose is return, or is this setup for two separate single action cylinders on each hose? Thanks for the videos very helpful!

Excellent video now can you help me with my John Deere 7290r I have five outlets in the back how do they work.

Now all we need is for it to worm up and dry out a bit 💥Boom💥

I would Like to know what the follow means by eairly TA's being dry, Thanks

They went to 800 psi with the farmall super m

Why is it easier for the tractor to lift the disc with the big cylinder than the small one?

Would you own a super MTA?

Do you know what to ports side were originally for

1950 farmall m that I will be buying only has one hydraulic connection why’s that

Are you sure you want to take it to the fields, mud, dirt, branches, there goes the paint job.😂

Why don’t you put on a M & W distributor hydraulic pump. We don’t use belly pumps anymore. Put on a distributor pump. 1000 to 1250 psi instead of 500 to 800 psi! Live instead of clutched!

Does not buy cheap Tractor Supply hydraulic fluid, but buys cheap Tractor Supply hydraulic cylinder? Lol
