That is really a nice tractor. I am a gun collector myself and have collected several unusual firearms. They have a unique history just like those tractors. If only they could talk.
Awesome old tractor . My Dad had a 1928 F12 that he modified a little, but it was our go to cultivator tractor. Dad kept it when he retired and sold the farm, but unfortunately my eldest brother did little to keep the old girl safe. The motor stuck, then a brother-in-law semi-restored it, but my nephew ended up with it. It met its demise in the mid 80's along with a couple of other old tractors when his barn burned down.
How very cool is that. I had never heard of such a tractor. But then again, I'm a verified city boy that has only had exposure to farming equipment from a friend of mine from North-Central Indiana. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Another new tractor guy from North Central Indiana. I have a 1942 farmall H and a 1952 Farmall M. A good friend of mine got me into it recently. He has over 30 old tractors of various makes.
I like what he said about it being better than a horse. But that just sounds like not a very high mark. Lol. Yet, I love that it is a special tractor, and I'd love to have it. ( but could never afford it. )
It is actually the 100,001st Farmall built. They started at 501, which would make 100,500 the 100,000th. I suspect the actual 100,000th is somewhere in a warehouse owned by Farmall/IH/Case.
I agree that 100,501 minus 501 is 100,000. However, that is not the proper calculation because it excludes the first tractor (#501). To demonstrate my point, suppose Farmall had started with serial number 001. If the first tractor was 001, the 100,000th tractor would be serial number 100,000 (not 100,001). By analogy, if you start at 501, the 100,000 tractor would be serial number 100,500 (not 100,501). The tractor in this video is very nice, but it is number 100,001 in the production line.
Yes. There is a name for the device, but I can't find it. I heard it mentioned in one of their advertising movies. Also the later models had an arm on the front of the tractor for steering your front-mount cultivator in rapid fashion.
That's a shame. CNH has grasped the restoration idea and offers many new parts. There are a couple other suppliers that ship brand new parts worldwide to bring that old Farmall to like new condition.
The first Farmall Regular was serial number 501, so 100501 would be the 100000th Farmall Regular. Same with other models of Farmall tractors. Serial numbers start at 501. Not sure why. Someone at Farmall just chose to start their serial numbers at 501.
501 was indeed the first Farmall Regular, which would make serial number 100500 the 100,000th. The tractor that he has is number 100,001 in the sequence, not 100,000. Might explain why it was in a fence line.
This one was painted silver rather than gray by the factory for promotional purposes. Photos of the 100,000th Farmall leaving the factory, show it painted silver.
That is awesome. Another piece of history saved from junk yards. Nice.
Sure is a very well known and unique tractor.
Deserved to be saved like any other.
Awesome piece of history. Built to last forever and a day!
What a beauty
What a fabulous find!
Obviously very special to the owner and to tractor buffs everywhere, lovely piece of farming history.
Nice restore! Best Regards Alfredo from Brescia Italy

That was when farming was farming ☺

This tractor is serial number 100,501. 100,501 minus 501 is 100,000.

Get rekt
Looks like that cable system is designed to activate the inside brake on a turn automatically.

I bought a what-not in 1960. There were not parts so I sold it to someone.

Sorry i don't understand 100 000 tractor but #100 501 ? Can someone explain. Thanks
The first Farmall Regular was serial number 501, so 100501 would be the 100000th Farmall Regular.
Same with other models of Farmall tractors. Serial numbers start at 501.
Not sure why. Someone at Farmall just chose to start their serial numbers at 501.
@@ih1440 thank for your time.
My 1930 Farmall regular was the 76,801 made but i wouldn't trade it for any tractor in the world

@@dlh104 If I start with number 501 the 100,000th tractor will be 99,999 later. Correct?
How badly do you have to mess up for a tractor never meant to leave the factory ending up at a farm 20 miles away?
Farmall tractors that old were all painted gray. The red ones appeared in the 1930’s.
I thank the summer of ‘35 maybe. Anyways love to have one.
This one was painted silver rather than gray by the factory for promotional purposes. Photos of the 100,000th Farmall leaving the factory, show it painted silver.
Don't know if this is the genuine thing but that colour suits the tractor very well.
Looks like a Hoyt-Clagwell to me.
Smug Smugly Just if you want to know ? The Hoyt - Clag well from was a Fordson. Fordson tractor Company ( Google IT)
What i wanted to say the Hoyt - Clag Well on green acres was a Fordson tractor if anyone wanted to know. thank you
@@perryspradlin6779 I understand
For 1930 it wouldn't have red paint. I don't think?
Right. IH didnt start painting tractors red until sometime in 1936.
