- Farmall M Discing with an International 370 Disc. Very old farm machinery in operation on the farm. Vintage farm tractor in operation on the farm. #FarmallFanatic #farmall #farmallm
Thanks for the memories! My grandfather had an M and 2 H’s and that’s what he farmed with. I learned how to operate the H and graduated to the M to disk and to run the square bailer in the late 60’s!

Gosh - as a kid I operated an old M, loved every minute of it. Always loved the sound of the transmission gears singing away. These Farmall videos takes me back , thanks for sharing !
That engine sound brings brings back 63 year old memories of when l was 15 years old. Good ole years in the mid 50's, Coca Cola's for 5 cents, reg. gas for 17 cents a gal. a bargain to fill the ole M. Back then l just part-time helped at my brother-in-law's farm. Stay safe from that monster epidemic and a big howdy from South Texas where l'm spending my retirement years on our small sixty acre ranch. Time does fly.
I can remember when candy bars were 15 cents. I just bought one yesterday for a $1.59
Thumbs up for whoever was operating the camera while you were running the tractor. 👍 Man I always love the sound of an M working.
She pulled like she had nothing behind her!! Very nice!! Thank you again!!
That old M pulling and making noise brings back memories. No spinners back in the day, especially when plowing in dead furrows.
Its gone now lol
Didn't plow with thumbs though steering wheel either. Still have Dad's old Super H,she needs a lot of work,but not locked up,transmission problems and stored inside since it was retired.
I enjoy watching you do the exact same thing I did 50+ years ago.
I grew up on John Deere but had an uncle that always ran the "red" lol. I got to drive his "M" several times. Good video
Thanks for showing us how it's done. Stay safe Farmall!
The sound of that tractor takes me back to another time about 50 years ago
I have an International 350 disc, 20" blades. Those old discs do a nice job.
10' ?
Yup
This 13 footerr is all the M wants. I'd love to find a set of 350 8 footers for my H
That disk looks like a model 37

Nice to see the train. Those are ballast hoppers; for adding rock to the track bed. They have been doing some track work somewhere. ;)
Hiw did you know that? 😯
@@FarmallFanatic Great video, and thanks for including the train! You can tell those are ballast hoppers because at the bottom there are the four hopper doors (two on each side) that are facing to the sides of the track. If those were coal hoppers either a) the hopper doors would be facing down in between the track or b) there wouldn't be any hopper doors because the cars are emptied by turning the cars upside down on a rotary dumper.
Field work is a real pleasure when everything is working right--soil moisture, tractor hydraulics, disk the right size. If it were always like this, life would be grand! But it's your hard work and skill that got you here. Huzzah!
Big M doing a good job! Nothing like getting back in the fields after a long Winter.
The sound of those old farmalls to me is very relaxing
The ol' M is looking & sounding good working the ground. Good tip about the electronic ignition. Stay safe.
Thanks 👍
With how crazy it is know you made me smile,thanks Farmall...
I learned something new about charging the battery . It's cool that you able to get out and do some tilling . The M was running good ! I'm hoping to get out today to do some tilling .
I'm glad I went back and watched this video for the info
That old M is purring nicely.
Love the old school way this new stuff is crap that little M is a sweet machine
I agree...plastic computerized junk
“Little” M 😝 that wasn’t the case back in ‘45. You were ballin’ if you were rolling an M!
I did have some IH 8 foot discs they did the job behind one of the Super H’s! We had some bigger Sunflower tools later on we used the big Massey on! My son has the Super M I learned on, with a IH 10 foot disc and an Oliver 4 - 14’s trailer plow! Great video!
Dropping another LIKE on your video! Watching and Supporting! The discs are a hoot, and I can see why they would need a lot of TLC to maintain, they are working against each other just to disc the field!
That disk is a perfect match for the M. Pulls it really good
I thought it would be a tough pull for the M, but she handled it alright.
Looks like you were having fun, rain and snow here. Hope all is well, for you and family. Be Safe Bud👍
Looks good and it is great smelling the freshly turned dirt
Sure is
Great video. I’ll start heading down now to move the Loadstar out of the way for you. I’m a few hours out, so do a few more circles around the stinkin telephone pole.
I can’t wait to get the H out and hooked up to the Little Genius to turn my garden over. I’ll disc with the John Deere B though, gotta be a group effort because I like all the colors.
Haha right on
I haven’t seen you in about a year but I will try to locate you more often. You do good work with older red tractors. I give you 2 thumbs up 👍 !!!
Much appreciated 🙏
Pulling a disc.......has to be the best job available! In my opinion. The smell of exhaust and freshly opened soil!
I’m jealous!
I was just gonna say both things
Good to see the M earning her keep in the field!!
Really impressive performance from the old M there an never missed a beat 👍👍
No doubt
Noticed the M has a bit of the old death wobble in the front end (most of them do). Might want to check out your rod ends and steering box. If you want that disc to really cut put you some scalloped disc on the front gangs.You mentioned lifting on turns and corners. Definately need to lift up. Even on a light harrow like the 370 it puts a lot of strain on the front gangs. I have driven and operated some of the biggest equipment in the field over the years but I enjoy running the old stuff more. I just get more out of it. Thanks for the tip on the electronic ignitions. My Oliver 66 has one and I didn't know you could fry them.
BOOM! Thanks Farmall. The charger is good to have small and compact.
Delo 30 is a petroleum based oil better for keeping engines clean yes its for Diesels but excellent protection for gasoline engines dont forget marvel mystery oil in fuel. Our family machine Shop been going 78 years seen many engines ruined by off brand oils ..awesome video thanks for posting 👍 😊
Love your energy, I’ve always been a green fan but I appreciate your love for the red!
The farm I grew up on had a pole in the middle of a field. The farm also had a few lonely shade trees scattered throughout the property. Most of them are gone now. Looking back I think that was one of the things that gave the farm its character. Another thing is the old out buildings near the barn.
I wish I was alive when they put that pole in, it's been there for decades
That’s key to bearing life , if it’s a long sweep I’ll keep it down but watch it. Easy to do when you have the HP especially.
That’s a solid gang you’re pulling there , imagine what a few pounds on those wheels would do ..... haha yea gotta love phone poles 🤦♂️
Its all the M wanted lol
Our BIG tractor was a 1948 Farmall H. The other was a 1928 Farmall F12 or so my Dad told me, but my research has indicated F12's weren't built in 1928. Whatever year it was, it was fun to operate as was the H.
Right off the top of my head I believe they were made In 1932
Great to see that old iron back at work.
Red Power BOOM! Thanks Farmall.
International Harvester was very involved in making many things for the war effort in WW2 including tractors. A google search of "International Harvester in World War Two" will reveal a lot. It's hard to say why the castings weren't used sooner, but I reckon they had other things on there mind beside keeping everything in proper order. As for the fuel filters, if you have a clean tank and use your tractor regularly, there's really no need for a fuel filter. We ran one back in the 50's for years and never heard of a fuel filter. Also, some tractors have the tank outlet just barely above the carburetor bowl , and the resistance of the filter will reduce or stop the flow. Two filters would for sure!! As an aside, I NEVER run ethanol in any of my old tractors. It's just asking for trouble with the fuel system!!!
Those old "M"'s were/are a great tractor. Ours was a 47 with an M&W overdrive which added gears between the wide spacing of the original ones. I spent a lot of hours on the seat of that old girl!
My 756 gas has no filter on it
There shouldn't be any voltage going to your electronic ignition if your key is off. I have a Farmall A that has had the electronic ignition on it for almost four years now, and I keep a trickle charger on it all summer long, has never burned the ignition out of it. I have a six foot belly mower on it, all I do is cut grass with it.
Then I need to change my Ignition switch. I also do not recommend jump starting it.
Around 40 years ago we found out that we were going thru a lot more disc bearings by over greasing than by greasing only once a week. When grease squirts outside the bearing it attracts dirt and that will eventually get under the bearing seal and either wear out the bearing or ruin the seal itself. Some local farmers use to argue that the I.H. sealed disc bearings would outlast the grease able ones.
Now that is interesting, I have one sealed bearing on this whole disk.
I have cub loboy with a electronic ignition and I use a trickle charger all the time and never had any problems
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during tough times..
Great vid love watching these old tractors!!
My grandfather pulled a 370 with a Farmall 560.
That was a lot of power in those days
Nice setup perfect match. Full play including ads. Smashed like button. Congrats on 12k. Awesome skills on the electronics. My uncle has a farm in southern Michigan. The train runs from Chicago to Detroit. Does an awesome job with that disc. Purring nice.
Thank you!
Yes sir👍 that's a cool air compressor too.
Nice "Old Iron" sounds really good and its doing a nice job
Dad's first disk was about an 8 or 9 ft Kewanee disk because we only lived about 16-18 miles from Kewanee, Ill. Next disk was a 14 ft Krause disk, it pulled too hard but really didn't work the ground up deep enough using the Super MTA we needed M&W direct axle mount duals. The SMT-A was traded for a 450 and strangely a 12 ft Kewanee disk. Neighbor I did fieldwork for had a Deere disk, pulling it a couple hours made me believe there HAD to be a better disk than a Deere. I'm thinking a 12 ft IH 370 would have been about right for our ground and the amount of tillage our ground needed. And we were smack dab between two good IH dealers that Dad and I both frequented for parts. We had LOTS and lots of IH equipment on the farm.
Sounds like my kinda farm
Thanks for the info on the electronic ignition. I've been planning on putting one on my A, now I will know about that.
You're welcome...glad to help
Love hearing your M Farmall sounds great
hey my favorite things trains and farmalls!
Those spinner knobs were designed for steering wheels that sit more horizontal vs vertical like the old "M's" do. They're handy as all get out but, if used on the wrong steering wheel, will cause you a "hand ache". Knew she'd do good even with double filters on. I run double filters on my storage tanks, been told that, that's a waste. Not a waste when my tanks stay cleaner and the engines run smoother because of the "dirt" and water is getting filtered out. As for the electronic ignition, have to admit, didn't know that.
Sounds like you have a scraper dragging? Also, ain't no such thing as over greasing something. Great video, cheers :)
I really like your disc,I have an old Towner disc it's about 7 ft wide with two axles I wieght mine down with railroad tracks it really makes the disc dig in. the Towner disc uses 90 weight gear oil for lubrication love your video
Interesting
She's looking good! Thanks for sharing!
This is great all the noise the damn parrot is sitting up on my shoulder paying attention not chewing on everything
Awesome find. Great video and good infor.
She's sounding great buddy!
I was just spreading Manure today was going to disk but was just a little to wet were I am. Great video one of my favourite UA-camrs
Thank you!
Looks like you’re very happy with the new added fuel filter system. Nothing but fuel entering the carburetor. Looks like some nice weather coming to dry up the rest of the field. I did notice something different in this video, you had someone helping you record. Nice to see everything from a different angle. BOOM!
Adrian
Yeah I couldn't quite talk them into climbing the tree though lol
Saw a farmail m for sale immediately reminded me of you
Getting the M all ready for field work...
A telephone pole in the middle of the field....Green Acres Style! Hope all is well bud!
We had 2 480 iHC dosc a 14 foot and 19.6 foot we disced usually 60 and 80 acres per day respectively. After talking with a farmer friend we took his recommendation and started greasing the gang bearings less than recommended instead of every 10 hours we started greasing every other day. And then only one or two shots with a hand grease gun.. those bearing seals are sensitive you only want to see a slight amount of swelling on the seal when greasing if you put to much in you blow the seal.. by doing that you extend the life of the bearing..The 480 disc were notoriously for stretching the Axles but that was from over torquing the gang axle nits...
Oh the joy of light poles stuck in the middle of the field. But, don't get too excited about planting season because come the end of next week this part of the state is expected to be back in winter like conditions.The old M did perform well but seeing those breaks in the rear tires might be time to start setting some money aside for new rear tires. But given how well that unit appears to be working it will be money well spent when the time arrives.
I was sitting watching this video and could have sworn i smelled the freshly turned soil.
It still smells like manure from having manure spread on it for fifty years
Man, I can smell that fresh dirt!! Rain/snow showers here today :(
I haven't spread cow manure on this field in over 15 years and you could smell it
Man that m sounds so good! It don't even act like it's pulling. Woooooohhhhh I love red power!!! IH is in my blood.
Mine too 💪
It is amazing that an M can pull a 40 blade disk.
44 blade
I haven't heard" the mud, blood and the beer" saying for ages. We're old.
HAHAHA
Bobby Bare’s winner song
Digging deep with the red power, you gotta love it.. Isn't the knuckle buster a handle to hold on to for turning?
Fields look good. Glad it passed the test. 👍
Sure is
Almost as much fun as discing a pumpkin patch. Dirt sure is working well thru that disc 👌
Can't believe what that M does. You can cover lots of acres in a day with it. You could just use this tractor and the necessary equipment you have and sell the rest. A couple hundred acres could be farmed with it and the H.
Oh I agree and in the old days it was
Good job, nothing runs better than a Farmall
Agree
Thanks for the help with dme on my chickens they are much more perky thanks. Okla. H.
Hit them again with it...to kill the second round of worms
cool sir i like the ride on field 👍😀👍
I'm sure there's a reason for not having a master on/off switch off the battery to help prevent problems.... :)
Nice one on tje oil buddy. Handy we pump mate. Lol flat battery we can't charge a battery out side it will rain. I wont get this problem we got derv lol.😂 Silly boy burning out coil module's. Good to see you putting her to work buddy.👍
👍👍 thanks for the help transmission
JUst FYI: most disc axle nuts are supposed to be at 1200 foot pounds of torque.3/4 breaker bar and 3/4 drive socket then use a 6' cheater pipe and pull to 200 pounds of force.M sounding great.
I weigh right around 200 pounds so I can sit on the breaker bar 🤣
@@FarmallFanatic I'll just say I could get by with a shorter breaker bar..... lol.
@@FarmallFanatic Back in my Navy days I worked on submarine bilge pumps.If memory is right the discharge pressure was 3000 PSI and the case bolts were torqued to 3000 foot pounds(with a torque multiplier) then we put on a hammer wrench and whacked them with a 16 pound sledge till they rang like a bell.Crazy torque spec on those.

@@amossnowdaharleyman9179 geeze lol
Red power show. Sloppy wet and dust, all kinda conditions. Looking good.
Great video!!!
Yeah son!! 🇺🇸.......Boom! Full watch.....roll coal....lift and turn corners.
💥BOOM💥
FYI...grease disk at the END of every operation...you'll find MUCH BETTER RESULT'S
That's true, plus its ready to go the next day
Glad to see your workin ground nice video
Cool man. Really nice set up
Sir you need more rocks,I send you a couple 100 ton to spread on your field,
I swear are rocks grow. Picked rocks since 1960 & there still coming up. Great video
Does your disk have a 1" square axels?
It sure does
Music to my ears!
Nice looking older disc.
Really enjoyed that video 👍 all in a days work 💪Boom
Thanks Bob 👍
Farmall doin the darn thing 🖐😎I got the truck for ya , bro
BOOM haha
I'm 52 now but we had a M and a H when I was a kid and farmed about 50 acres in southern Michigan . The H fired every time but the M always had to be pull started . They both had 6 V systems .We had a friend who had a 12 V in his M and it fired no problem . We also had a Farmall one row corn picker , do you know how long it takes to run 50 acres of corn with a one row picker LOL . Thanks for the memories
Hahaha yes i do know
very nice
I enjoy your videos. I like the red power also. I noticed something green in the background. Are you busted?? LOl.. keep up the good work.
Blame the neighbor lol
Like that in bowl filter! Still a water separator that way.
Yep
Greatest tractors ever built
1000% agree
that m sounds good
The chucks were licking there chops when thay heard the disk drop. Check your fan belt it looked loose
I just bought a Farmall M today
Nice
I never saw a little compressor like that!
1:20 that's a great little machine for pumping up tyres - but dont try drilling holes with it lol.
Agree
