I have a 1950 IH M that I am going to put a du-al loader on. I was wondering if anybody had pictures of the mounting system? I'm pretty sure I know how it goes on, but any pictures would be great! Thanks

Thanks for the info, when ordering from Maple Hunter, they have both vinyl and mylar... Has anybody used both, how much better are one than the other? Thanks

Looking for a good resource for decal placement on a 1950 Farmal M. I am attempting to do a repaint on my tractor and it has no remaining decals to go by. Any help would be great.

William- at this point it doesn't have hydraulics. My dad has a lever lift 8ft chisel plow.

OK! So, it seems that distributors do not appreciate being damp,oily and slimy inside! Took everything apart on the distributor and clean and dried everything. It now runs pretty well and on ALL cylinders! Was able to chisel plow my 3/4 of an acre with no problems!!! It still probably could be...

New developments... checked the compression and it had about 110 in all four cylinders. But looking at the spark plugs, it appears that it is running rich, spark plugs are black, but cylinders 2 and 3 are blacker and more gummy than the others. I opened the governor and adjusted it according...

I forgot to mention that when you attempt to throttle up quickly it sputters very badly. Also, when adjusting the carb it doesn't seem to matter what you do with the needles but nothing seems to change.

Dave- When it was running last night it would run ok as long as there was no load on the engine. When I drove it across the yard, pulling nothing, it sputtered, seemed to miss, and would almost die until I pushed the clutch in and let it sit for a couple seconds. Than it would go a couple more...

Marlin- All the gas that we have put through the tractor has been new gas. When we bought the tractor it was mostly empty... William- what would be ideal compression for the engine? I was thinking about that last night so that may be a project for today. Another question that I have. After...

I have a 1950 M that is not running correctly. When I purchased the tractor it was running OK. I cleaned the sediment bowl and found that it was partially plugged coming from the tank. It ran fairly good after that and we were able to disk about 3/4 of an acre a couple times over. We than...

I am currently working on my 1950 IH M. The carb is in need of some work and i'm attempting to find a carb repair kit for it. The number on the carb is 50983DC. But most kits that I find are for 50983DB. It there a difference or are they interchangeable? Thanks

I have a cub cadet 125, it only has a solid hitch on the rear. I am looking at purchasing a tiller for the rear. The one i'm looking at is a Model #2. Does this model need a type of 3 point hitch and if it does is it possible that I can put one on my 125. The picture is of the actual tiller...
