It just depends on what you value most: function or authenticity. But it is really easy to convert these to 12 volts and it really helps them. You can put a Delco alternator on it by just flipping over the bracket that holds the generator. The starter is fine running 12 volt thru it as long as you don’t crank it too long. I forget what JD did to the ignition system. Whether he just put in a different resistor or if he changed the coil. He may have just done the resistor. After many years the 6 volt starter finally gave up but just rebuilt the starter for 12 volt and away we went again. Awesome tractors.
When I was in my late teens I had a '58 Farmall 350 utility. I used it for plowing snow, and I loved that machine. Equipped with a LORD loader, which ,I think was made in either Lancaster or Hubbardston , Ma. , with a 7 or 8 foot snow bucket. I moved a lot of snow with it. It did mean some very cold and very long nights though. (no cab, don'tcha know) Only thing that stayed even the least little bit warm was my right foot. The muffler was right under that floor board.
HHHMMM, when you're plowing or disking, do you push the clutch in and come to a stop, to go from low to high or high to low on the torque amplifier????? SMDH!!!

My cousin used to dig potatoes with one with a wide front end in Easton Maine in the 1960's
Beautiful tractor sounds like it is skipping
nothing that new plugs and wires can't fix
I noticed that. I'd clean out the gas filter bowl too. Spent some time on M, 400, 450 s.
What a sweet tractor - they dont make them like that anymore!
I want one!!!
He's 10 years old again! About 1965.
They are big they make my bosses john deere a look tiny.
The tractor looks awesome but it's running like crap did y'all find out what was making it run that way?
Plug is acting up. Or plug wire.
Looks great but sounds like it has no power.
why do you say that
@@aidanschmidt607 because the engine is sputtering, coughing, and missing. Something isn’t right about it. Needs adjustment for sure.
@@BoredTexasBoys oh yea no doubt but i thought you were talking about in general.

too bad it doesn't have a fast hitch though
1. It looks good but sounds like total crap.
2. this guy has 0 clue on how to operate it. You don't have to clutch it to use the ta
