    In my younger public and high schools days, I grew up on the SuperW4. Thinking back now, it was a wonderful tractor. Thanks for keeping a piece of history alive and well.

    Wow, good to see this. We just bought an old W4, from an estate auction. Owner had just installed brand new tires!
    It's marked 1956, but may be older. The 6 volts generator is only putting out 1 amp. We'll look into that.
    It's painted all yellow, with a 6 ft. bucket loader out front. So the steering seems impossible without a huge counterweight.
    It hadn't run for 2 years, but we got it going for about 15 minutes yesterday. We'll see this winter, if practical.

      A M&W kit took advantage of the huge improvement in the quality of gasoline after WW II. Early versions of these IH tractors were produced with compression ratios around 4.5 to 1. Some of these kits took that ratio to 6.5:1 but required 85 octane fuel. That much compression change could add 50% or more horse power to one of these tractors.

      @@cdjhyoung that's for sure. My Grandfather always said he was so glad when WW2 was over and he could get gas for the H and he never did run kerosene in it again as it didn't have the power. When we overhauled the tractors through the years we always used the fire crater pistons to make them more powerful. Thanks for sharing.

    My dad rebuilt his Super W6 engine in 1964 using M&W pistons and governor parts. Jump that tractor form 44 horsepower to somewhere north of 56 horsepower. Went from pulling 3 -14's to 4 -14's. Really good tractor. We figured he put 38,000 hours on that tractor before it was retired in 1987.

    I love the W-4, which is now becoming a highly collectable tractor, due the fact that is the Standard Tread version of the Farmall H and shares many common parts.

    We had an IH 986 and it had a M&W turbo on it. Stickers in the cab. Added some horsepower as by a dyno, not sure exactly what anymore.

    When I was a kid, the M was a field tractor, now it would be classed as a chore tractor. Some of the large tractors of today are more powerful than the powerplants that generated electricity in small towns in my parents' youth.

    IH made a rolling chassis. M&W made a tractor out of it.

      When they were designed, Gasoline was 70 octane. As the fuel got better, IH introduced their own upgrade kits as well.
