Yep here is a chart. A - '31 B - '32 C - '33 D - '34 E - '35 F - '36 G - '37 H - '38 I - '39 J - '40 K - '41 L - '42 M - '43 N - '44 O - '45 P - '46 Q - '47 R - '48 S - '49 T - '50 U and W - '51 (note the letter "V" was skipped) X - '52 Y - '53 Z - '54 A - '55 B - '56 etc...

Interesting, like the whole Ford N series of tractors serial # all begin with 9N

@Dave Lambert That must be the year they changed them

Chase Dykeman cvs

That's correct. The castings are 1930 plus the value of the alphabet. The Numerical value of O is 15, as it is the 15th letter of the Alphabet. Therefore O indicates a 1945. Q is not used, but 1947 models are indicated by 47. In the 1950s, it changes a bit. Don't quote me but T is 1950, V is 1951, W in 1952, Y is 1953, Z is 1954, and then it repeats: A is 1955, B is 1956, and so on...

Put it in the best hands he could find 👍

@@FarmallFanatic awww.. thanks! Thanks for all your videoing efforts.

Does anyone know if converting the electrical system to 12 v from 6 volt positive ground on my M is worth it?

I rebuilt this carburetor 2 years ago and did put this screen on there. It sure is easy to forget about though

Even in later years there are carburetors with a screen right by the float needle, so that's not unique to old engines.

ehsnils Our 74 IHC 200 3/4 ton 4x4 has a Holley with a screen in the inlet fitting. Our 84 GMC K25 3/4 ton 4x4 has a Quadrajet with a paper filter in the inlet fitting. I leave them there! If a fuel pump diaphragm goes to heck, it keeps the junk out of the carburetor. On those pickups, I run a in line fuel filter before the fuel pump.

Who wants to help me save the family farm?

I've picked up a few more of them buckets because they work really good. 🤣

That's what I figured

My dad was born in 43 and I always used to tell him that this tractor is older than he is but now I can't tell him that lol

Tomorrow's video will be testing the filters 😁

@@FarmallFanatic I just hit subscribe. Will be waiting. Thank you for heads up!

Thank you!

I've noticed that when the bowl leaks it's usually because the O ring or gasket is worn out but yes I've seen several people run those bowl bypasses

Very cool 👍

Dad Random, ahh, true! And a common one when you shut'er off- silence.😆

Excellent

Hahaha id rather be 10 years younger ....beggars cant be choosers 😁

O he even noticed the nail holding my rain cap on hahaha

Most definitely, I leave my ego hanging in the house when I come out to make a video.

Yeah you're correct. But I was rebuilding a carburetor about once a year before I started my inline filters

IH reduced the size of the oil filters in the early 1940s. The H, W-4, A and B used the long filter (376375R91) at first, and it was shortened later (376374R91) The M and W-6 first used the large filter (376376R91), but later used the smaller filter the smaller tractors had (376375R91.) The 9 series tractors and Diesels used the big filter 376376R91) If you want to put the smaller filter on your A, just get the short canister. The base is exactly the same and the diameter is exactly the same.

The 1st thing I did when I got this M was clean that tank thoroughly

I added an electric pump to my combine...works great

Good seein ya ✌

Lmao

Yea true

Thank you

Yes I rebuilt this carburetor and made sure that in flow screen was on there. So really it's triple filtered

Interesting

100% 👍

Well wait a minute, I am in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Lol

I'm hoping so

Good to know

BTW You may also have water in the float chamber. Water, (As you know) being heavier then gasoline settles to the bottom. If the sight glass went full of water at any time then some should also be in the carb float chamber. If the sight glass was at least half full ruff bumps may have caused some to enter the carburetor also. An old time tractor fuel system should be able to handle 15 micron size dirt practicals, but larger dirt particles can enter the Carb from dirt in the tank that over time also causes sludge. The sight glass screen should take them out. Youve got a better deal there with the added inline filter that will allow only 5 microns. When as a boy on the farm we had an H and M also.

They sure are 👍

Hahaha yep...you too!

Hahaha

You noticed the nail too. 🤣

I agree

It's amazing how the same model of tractor isn't the same tractor, but I know that's true because I've seen it too

Yep, there is a video on oil change in the Farmall H playlist. The rest will be coming soon.

@@FarmallFanatic do you have how-to on the Farmall M

Interesting

I was thinking the same thing

My late dad did the same thing a few years ago with a C and a Super C. About 75 yo at the time. Growing up, we had a neighbor who rebuilt the family C engine as an FFA project. New pistons sleeves turned crank, new rungs and bearings, while nine yards. Unfortunately he wasnt much of a mechanic and never got it running right due to carb issues. It sat in their pasture for 30 years and sheetmetal rusted to pieces. Tires rotted off rims. Dad asked about buying it for years and was told “im gonna fix it some day”. One day it was gone, sold to the local tractor hoarder. (Guy has twenty ir more tractors in his front yard, north of Edna tx on hwy 111. Fast forward another 5 or so years, dad notices a super C sitting about an hour from home. Good rubber still and perfect sheetmetal (not being right on the Texas Gulf coast where dad lived). He Passed by on way to my place and used to see it being used in a truck patch, now sitting. Stops and asks about it, elderly lady says her husband passed away and cant bring herself to sell. She wont even let him Look at it. Passed by several years, still sitting, goes to ask again, house is empty, gets phone number of daughter from neighbor. Wife had passed away too. Checks tractor closer and they let it rain in engine with no rain cap and nothing over exhaust. Engine is stuck. Tells daughter and she offers to sell for $100. Fast hitch with cultivators, discs middle busters turning plows and shredder (deck rusted out) all fast hitch. Dad got it home and Tried to free engine no luck. Goes by local tractor hoarder and inquires about C. He still has it. Dad puts on his poker face and asks about engine condition. Hoarder either forgot or didnt know condition. Dad says he wants to be sure its not stuck. Hoarder cant find a crank handle so he gets a hot battery to see if it will turn. Not only does it turn, it tries to start! Just ruined dad’s plan of low ball offer. He has to give $500 for whole tractor. Pulls C engine and installs on Super C (not sure why he went this route as I wasn’t around. Maybe because of fast hitch and lift in Super C? Wanted to check clutch? The only change was adding water pump from Super C. Super C radiator was toast and C had new radiator but neck is different for pressurized cap so he took the two of them to a radiator shop and had them swapped. I have the Super C now an i am Looking into a fast hitch to 3 pt. Adapter so i can use a landscape rake and I own on it. Dad Sold C with stuck Super C engine back to local tractor hoarder for $200, so he had less than $500 in tractor. Dad passed away from blood clot 11/18. At 81 yo. Still driving working on old chevy pickups and tractors the week he died. I inherited six cubs from him as well that are future projects. He restored three cubs and two Super As to working condition in addition to the Super C over the years. I also have a Super A that he bought that some put together from several tractors as it was all different shades of red and rust. He didn’t get the story though. Seller was asking $500 but it wasn’t running right so dad offered $200 (no implements but had brackets and pulleys for woods L59 belly mower mounted. Dad said he asked where the mower deck was. Seller says a spindle broke so he junked it. (!) . Dad got it home and checked the carb and the float was set too high and flooding. Reset float and changed the oil (gas diluted). He cleaned it up and painted it. I found a woods L59 mower in OKC, OK so we drove up and bought it for $300. I sold the brackets and pulleys for $100.

Very true

I tested it in my latest video 👍

No pump pressure..

Interesting

That's what I was thinking 👍

It's just hard to believe it's all gone now

If you watch the video I made after this one disking the field it showed no signs of locking power or fuel. So far I'm pretty satisfied.

It will be interesting

At least it caught it

We are very lucky here to be able to use non ethanol

you just aren’t buying gas at the right place kwik star et. al.

There is no such place in my area.

Tim Gilchrist have you tried casey’s? the red is low test no A

Good to hear!

Interesting

Thank you!

That's definitely got better way to do it

@@FarmallFanatic btw... I have several tractors that I have converted to electronic ignition and it has worked well. Only problem I had once was when I had a dead battery, hooked up a battery charger but forgot the keyswitch in the "on" position. The ignition module in the distributer was fried and I had to buy a new one, start over. So now, I always disconnect one battery terminal before charging a battery.

@@northdakotaham1752 yep, even leaving the Ignition in the on position will fry them too

@@FarmallFanatic I suppose it would.

You better have a tank that's clean enough to eat out of

That’s true I have had quite the time keeping them clean so I have went to sealing them

watch some of the videos I put up after this under very heavy load... and the only difference I've noticed is the fuel is cleaner
