Nice tractor Toby. That is one model in the 4 series that has eluded me so far. But, I'll get one, just hope it's as nice as this 1045J is. NOTE: In 52 the badge on the grill would have said "MCCORMICK" not "MCCORMICK DEERING." In 47 or 48 the last Deering family member passed and Deering was dropped from the name plate. Then in 54 IH changed up their hierarchy from Farmall, McCormick (Deering), and International. Farmall being rowcrop, McCormick being standard ag, and International being industrial. They brought McCormick and International under the same designation of INTERNATIONAL. Really they are the same tractor just outfitred differently and marketed to different customers so basically they just streamlined the company. Incidentally in 1954 when the International 400 came out there was no "W" designation. After a few months of production, IH realized that the customer would or could get the wrong parts for the International when saying 400. So few were made that not all counter support knew that the Farmall and International 400's were different tractors. I don't remember the serial number break but it was in the 800-900 rangr when the International 400 became the International W-400. I used to own s/n 706 that is the oldest International 400 Diesrl known.

It has its blemishes, but overall, very clean. As my grandpa would say whenever he'd buy a beat up car that grandma would give him never-ending grief over: "it's a solid step". Sidenote: Very nice of KC for orchestrating this on your behalf. Good friend.

Really neat tractor and in great shape, it belongs in the fleet. Great find!

She’s a beauty already, can’t wait to see her restored and minty fresh again!

Little powerhouse 🙌

Nice find, Kyle is clearly a good friend. I like the casual way of, yea this is not right and that needs fixed but no problem. Ahem, in keeping with clear notions though, I think you mean gear oil not grease leaking down on the tire! (now I can say I caught something)

Very nice kudos to Mr Christ.

That is in great shape, looking forward to the restoration of this one. Nice of Kyle to help you out on this, good friend.

That will be a great tractor. I am glad you have one. I have had a couple of W4 tractors. Yours is better than mine were.

Nice piece of iron...good luck with her

Congrats on the new tractor and thanks for the in-depth walk around.

Great find !! Glad you have friends like Kyle.

As always, I am astonished at the breadth and depth of your knowledge about these antique pieces of farm equipment.

You can tell right away that someone cared for that tractor. No signs of blatant abuse anywhere. Nice find!

Nice score sir! I kick myself from time to time for not buying a very well worn/abused W4 owned by a freind of mine, it had decades of family logging experience, had a three point bushog hitch cobbled on, it was so ugly I just loved it. It went to good hands from what I hear. But had I gotten it, I'd have changed NOTHING. It was so patina, so farmerized, it would have been a tribute to his grandpa!

Good job KC! Helping out while Squatch is on injured reserve.

Hey man. Nice Farmall there. looking forward to see sheet metal paint on the H. Still Prepping Sheet metal parts on my super A. Had good success with pulling dents in gas tank with a slide hammer. Hope your eyes get well and let you get back in action soon.

Damn Toby that W4 is in crazy nice shape ! That was a score. Buddy was look’n out fer ya 😏

Well new transportation/work horse, for everyday chores! Can see a mower behind it with a rake of some kind and a disk! Replace the 8N ?

Thanks for the walk around Toby. Great looking SW-4! Can’t wait for the next video!

That's nice, I bought a 300 Utility a while back and now I'm looking at a Super W6 T/A.

8 volt? Wow that is a thing. I must have entered universe#40, finally.

This is a WOW! Looking forward to us subscribers learning an immense amount of knowledge but also knowing that it is only a very small portion of what you have filed away in that library of your knowledge. Keep teaching us!

A desirable tractor that hasn’t been abused. Very nice!

Always been a fan of the W series. They just look like stocky, powerful tractors. There was recently a W6 for sale around me, but more than I was able to pay for. Some day I'll have one.

Toby, that's a good looking tractor. That's more the style that we farmed with. We started out with a super A farm all then went to a 3 point hitch tractor. We had bought a 1959 Massey Ferguson TO 30 and it was so worn out that we had to run the plug adaptors to keep it from fouling plugs out everytime we used it. My dad as myself worked at a Massey Ferguson dealership he did early before I was even 7 years old and when I graduated from high school I went there and was the lead mechanic for several years. But the tractor we bought at another dealership was worn completely worn out and we did a small rebuild on it. We used it for several years after that rebuild. Then about the time me and my 2 brothers were about getting jobs in other fields we started not farming as much. I then completely restored the Massey Ferguson that was many years ago but it still looks and run awesome but it's gone now. Got a question the super a SR. Was plowing with at plow days is that plow the one bought with the tractor or is it a later one? The super a we had that my grandfather bought new had a set of single one bottom plows, it had the slatted mold boards on it. The plows were set up back then to where you could plow in both directions in the same furrow because the way the plows were. I always thought that was a cool set up but it came new on that tractor we still have the disc that came with the super a.

That tractor looks like it worked but it had a good home. With your ability to repair and the hart that you put into your projects she will be really happy. Denis from Santa Rosa CA

Well, we know what your rebuilding this winter......Nice looking little tractor. Thanks Toby.

Wow that thing is mint. You will never find another one that nice. Bet it would polish and look close to new

I've heard Super H/Super W4's are much more snappy than a straight H or W4. Same with a 300 which is close engine wise?. Very nice little tractor. Here in corn country I see 20 row crop farmalls for every standard. Kind of wish I had one. Really nice when you point out how they are different. I'll be learning a lot!

Looks in great shape to be about the same age as me.

What a sweet find kudos to the man that found this tractor and thought of you toby and made this possible it's definitely a nice addition to the fleet thanks Kyle for making this possible you sir are a good one.

A bit of a leaf spring in the front axle pivot....never noticed that on a farm tractor.

What a great guy Kyle is and that's one very sweet W4 draw bar breaks mush have been a common thing on those seems all the ones grampa Bowen worked on had those same issues. Great news addition.

Nice machine, I approve 👌🏻 Don't think we originally got the Super W4 here in the UK, plenty plain W4s however.

Gotta say thats quite the find with how original and unmolested it appears to be!

That's a really nice tractor & the best thing is it's only going look better as your eye recovers. Nice work by Kyle.

2:03 , it seems to me that a video of the delivery by Kyle would have really been a nice thing for the members-only channel...😊 kinda saddened that that opportunity was missed by us and you.😊

Stout little machine .. a nice addition to the fleet 💯

A great find by your friend. IMO, if a tractor could be called cute - I'd say this one qualifies. As they say in the automotive realms, it seems you got a numbers-matching machine here!! Congrats - and stay the course for recovery.

Great tractor I found one that had been setting in a barn for about 35years sheet metal was absolutely perfect took about a year to get it done and painted.

Nice find!

Awesome addition to the IH collection. Love these little wide tractors

That’s a cool looking tractor. Seems like a short wheelbase which makes it look great to my eye.

Beautiful tractor Toby. I can’t wait till you get the chance to restore it.

Hey Squatch,,,looks like a fine addition. Very straight.

Love the W range of tractor they are very popular vintage ploughing match tractors over here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 i looking forward to seeing the restoration on this , if it was mine it would be left original condition but only because i dont have the panel beating painting skills to do them justice 😕 great tractor 👌

Nice looking tractor. Looking forward to see this one restored.

probably the best orange chain that I have seen in many years

Congratulations! You've got a beautiful little time capsule there :)

Looks like a nice buy! I want a W9 someday.

What a fantastic machine! That front left looks like a set to two rib fronts we had on a 140 Farmall here on the farm. I always like the way they looked.

Back in the 70's my dad had a WD9 and pulled a three bottom plow and a one way disk.

Go Kyle! 👍👍

Nice project for the future we will be waiting when you get to feeling better

Hi Squatch, greetings from the Adelaide Hills in South Australian. I’d love to see a recap/review episode showing all the different tractors/graders/equipment you have there. I’ve been following for a long time, and it is hard to keep track all the beautiful old iron you’ve got on hand. Keep up the wonderful content.

That is a really nice looking w4 tractor the operator platform is a little crowded on them standard tractors I drove a w6 years ago it was a neat tractor too keep up the great videos

Very good tractor.

Following with interest. There are a fair few W4s here in Australia and I am on the hunt for one. Looking forward to hearing it run and also hoping you are doing the usual full restore. Thanks for sharing from a fellow machinist.

Very nice straight old tractor, looking forward to future videos on it. Also noticed it has one old firestone 2 rib up front, was always fond of the look of those for some reason. My uncle had a B allis chalmers we always used for mowing that still had a set of 2 rib tires up front and an old set of field and roads on the back stamped with blemished on the side.

Looking forward to your project! I have an early sw4, and hope to someday finish it! Lol. Trust your eye project continues without any hiccups.

Congratulations, Toby. Beautiful tractor. ❤

I with you on loaded tires. Can’t stand it. Nice tractor too!

Cool! I think I'd mentioned that it would be cool if you rebuilt a Ford 9xx tractor, so this little Farmall is similar. I thought the graders were also pretty interesting. Hope your eye is healing up quickly and well....

Right by your serial number on the side of the tractor there’s a clip that holds your cranks handle in for storage. 😊

Nice looking tractor Squatch!! Good job Kyle!!

Fantastic find, looks to be in great shape! :)

🤗 nice find Kyle wtg good find cheers mate 🍻 ✌️🤙

The H series is my favorite Tractor. The W-4 series is the second favorite. I would love to have one.

I did 8 volt on a M years ago. Really made a difference. To me it was preferable to the 12 volt system. Thanks.

Looks a lot better than our W4! I tried to get it started this year, first time in 30+ years. Got the mag sparking but leaked too much fuel for that updraft carburetor and it only popped some before the 6 volt battery had enough. Look forward to the future videos!

Very very nice!

That's a nice one we had a I4 and a W9 they were neat tractors 👍

Looks good!

Another project - just what you needed... 🙂

Friday, March 13th, 1953, on the casting. I enjoy finding the birthday of the components on my vehicles and comparing them.

Great tractor. I look forward to future videos.

Not quite the beast that my 820 Deere is but still a cute little standard tread tractor. 🙂

Great find!

I really like that tractor. Like the stanze of it a lot. Maybe more than a h or a m. The only IH tractors that I’ve had were 4366 and a 1486, but I wouldn’t mind getting one just like this one of yours. The men that farmed with them were tough rascals. It sort of reminds me of my mm g6.

Nice purchase my dad always wanted a w4 but he never got but i talked him into a tractor a w9 it was found within our city limits of our town when the old man left his farm the tractor came with him an my dad bought it for me but that super w4 is really nice

Nice looking tractor. I’ll have to look that up on tractordata. Thanks and have a great day.

Nice buy. Like the tractor, another good video.

Hey up mate just the thing to take your mind off eyes

Enjoy, it looks great I've never saw one myself it will be good to see you go through it. When is your next eye checkup?

Great SW4.Hopefully you are able to purchase the original vintage GY Sure Grip All Service tires.They are produced again and are a great look on the Farmall's over here.We have to get them from Poland but it's worth the effort and GY factory made them just as in the old day's.

When i was in FFA. This was the tractor used on our farm. Understand it was in 1964. We farmed 65 acres with this type W4. Very strong and reliable.

Nice tractor! Another tractor for the back burner!

Nice find.

Looks like a real clean SW4!

Never heard of an 8 volt battery before, interesting. Nice addition to the fleet!😊

Great looking tractor. Was the top of the grill repaired as well as fender? Paint looks a bit off.

Well now I know why we didn’t see Mr. Kyle Christ with any tractors at the fall plow weekend 😂 he used up his trailer space hauling this beauty Super W4.

Would it be worth removing the axle housing with the chain to remove the broken and loose bolts without having to work upside down?

Being the draw bar brackets have been broken at one time do you think someone used this pretty hard in the field plowing or something if they did it’s amazing how straight the metal tin is then great video I’m seeing a few more videos in the future lol😂 thanks for sharing

Nice

Problems mean future content. Win!

I like it.

Nice looking SW4! Ill be interested in seeing you tighten up the steering on your new prize. I have a W6 and the draglink end has a spring assembly in the end and mine is in sad shape. I need to tackle that issue. Curious to see how yours is when you get to it. Good luck and keep the videos coming as long as your up to it.

Interesting video as always. I hope your eye is getting better, I know you’re itching to get back in the shop. By the way, the link to Kyle’s KZfaq channel does not work
