Plowing - 1945 Farmall H
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2016
- Here is a short clip of plowing with the 1945 Farmall H. It is pulling a John Deere 44H trailer plow. The ground was pretty rocky and on a side hill so we were pulling the plow in 1st gear to help keep it from bouncing out. Be sure to check out the full length video too - • Video

A 73 year old Farmall tractor still working like a champ, it's a beautiful thing!
Hope you make a million bucks at this, far better than TV. Reality at its realist. Props from Alberta.
I loved the last shot at 5 min. It's the one I remember most. I used to ride the left brake to keep the tractor pulling straight. The mill boards used to get a beautiful mirror finish after a while and the points would wear smooth and slick. There is also a wonderful smell of the freshly turn earth, and birds flock over the area catching earthworms.
Everything around here has gone no till and you don't see a lot of turning plough action any more. It's all Roundup and Monsanto corn.
That's some awfully nice pasture you're plowing up there.
Wow!! This brings back memories.. When I was growing up, plowing the fields on my Allis Chalmers (sp) was my job after school on our farm in rural Idaho... Those were the days.. 😉 Many, many years ago... We love ya!! God bless!
Working great, I can smell the fresh dirt old old tractor smells!
It is a great smell :)
There's something very therapeutic about running a tractor. I look for excuses to get on mine. Nice work out there buddy.
@Torin Cody definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
Hay wagon and drive the kids around, but I’m also halfway looking at going to shows when I get done restoring 😂
Nice video. I inherited a 46 H from my dad when he passed away. It was the first tractor his dad ever bought new. Their a lot of fun to drive.
Just happened on your After Hours channel. Really nice insights to you and family. I grew up with Farmall's a Super A, and an H. Nice job plowing, 2 bottom, 14"? I always loved the smell of fresh turned soil...
Eric love the great production on this, i know it took a lot extra effort thanks.
It was very pleasant watching this Eric. Right now I am camping watching an old video of you in nature on the farm.
What I love about these old tractors (and machines in general) is watching this you really understand what horse power is. If we had to do the same job by hand it'd be days of back breaking work. Yet that thing makes it look easy and it can do it all day long. Pretty neat when you think about it.
Take care,
Jay
Gives you a pretty good perspective on it for sure.
That old 45 Farmall has still got it. I love old school everything nothing like it 👍👍👍👍👍
wade hicks: It’s an IH H Farmall!!
@@dennishayes65 he means from 1945
Watched all 3 videos on your H spring service and tractoring and really enjoyed them. Thanks.
I am fortunate enough to get to maintain and use my 86 year old Father-in-Laws Farmall 140 B and Farmall 230 that he bought new from the IH dealership in the 40's and 50's. Either one of them are older than I am but you can get new parts for them all day long.
I just finished rebuilding the PTO Mule Pulley system that drives the belly mower on the 140. It had more *gorilla weld metal on it from makeshift repairs than original steel. Fun little project. When I got it all bolted up with a new belt on it and started to do a test mow, I caught my FIL wiping dust from his eyes when he didn't think I was looking.
*Gorilla Weld = big, strong and ugly
very relaxing change for you I am sure, nice to see all the surroundings.
Great video, great looking Farmall H
Looks like a good time. Great tractor! We recently rebuilt a Farmall H that has an A frame lift
That's Cool that you still get have and enjoy working with your Dad cherish every moment I don't get to anymore since May 21,2013
Nice straight rows Eric O!
Nice, the only thing different that I would do is to start in the middle of the field and have two furrows on each side of the plow area so I don't waste a trip back. meaning I would be plowing in both directions.
Agreed
I disagree, when you have a day that nice, what's the rush. I could plow all day on a tractor that nice. (but it would be quicker, plowing in both directions)
Looks like a lot of fun. Eric O.
Reminds me of "Rural Heritage" on RFD-tv. No wasteful music, commentary, etc. Just the simple joy of working the land, no matter the horsepower (or mulepower) 🙂
I remember my Dad plowing with a old Massey when I was a kid. Loved the smell of the freshly overturned soil.
Is it weird that I found watching this to be relaxing and peaceful? Wish I could be out in nature like this.
Mechanic by day and Simple Life Kinda Man After Hours Love it great video as always Eric O @After Hours With Eric O.
Looks like paradise.
Great video, Erick. I first learned to plow with a 2 bottom plow just like the one you are using, but hadn't been modified to hydraulics. The tractor was also a Farmall H, but with a wide front end. As I spent most of my early life working and managing dairy farms, I graduated to much bigger and more modern equipment, but have very fond memories of doing just what you showed here. Thanks. Have a blessed weekend.
How do you manage a dairy farm. Ive never known one to need a manager.
Dad's doing a great job Eric :-)
Lovely ploughing
i love people who make these type of videdos
This classifies as “oddly satisfying “
Looks perfect.
Good stuff Eric, straight as an arrow.
As long as you save the beer for later it is haha
Or just set the GPS and turn on the autosteer ;)
Nice rig!
Wow that field is clean! I didn't see a single rock in it! Many many years of hand picking I'm sure!
Or run thru it a few times with a potato picker is what me and my old man did. Not good for huge rocks but good for getting all those pesky potato sized ones out
Good Job Boss..........
I've used the old drag plows in the past with the trip , no hydraulic. Looks like you're getting it done very well Eric.
I'm surprised you don't have a lot of rocks in up state N.Y. , soil looks great.
I plowed a bunch with an old Super C, and we used an old Super A for cultivating, and weed control duties.
That looks fun!
it is pretty satisfying actually
Working hydraulic pump. That's kinda nice to have. I have a short video or two of a tumble plow on my channel. Tumble plow will keep you busy. Interesting fact some may not know. John Deere got it's start with plows.
Great video more eric o we need more.like johnny five input input!!
I plow with a '41 H, and Deere 44H plow with 14" bottoms. They're a well matched pair.
i just found a new SMA production I smashed the subscribe button
My father in law had a Farmall Cub tractor. He did most of the restoration on it, was a fine tractor! Yours is a real nice tractor!!
Real tractors are red :)
+Outdoors With Eric O I'm going to pretend you never said that...
r we still friends?
+Outdoors With Eric O. Yes, haha :p
Wheewww
30 years ago I owned a David Brown P25 (1954ish))and a David Brown 990 (1963ish)
When I was around 18-20 years old ;)
Nice. I spent many hours as a youth pulling 4 and 5 bottom plows, disking, harvesting. Field work was my favorite. So I became a physicist. 🤦♂️
Imagine running that thing 70 years ago trying to run a farm. Brutal! Nice work.
Not when you just upgraded from a one bottom and a horse!
God almighty...I cant even imagine plowing behind a mule or horse all day with that type of plow. Those were some tough folks.
Wouldnt bother a man.
Beautiful grass tho. No weeds. Almost hate to see it tilled up but I'm a hunter so I get it. Gotta have food plots.
No computer and it is still getting the job done ✅
You just cannot get the real sound these tractors made when plowing..That high pitch engine screaming was unique they were Farmall
I grew up on a farm that had an "H" as the "utility" tractor. I cut a lot of hay with a sickle mower, harrowed a lot of ground, smoothing the soil in front of the planter (starting at age 10). Planted a lot of oats and alfalfa with a broadcast spreader pulled by an "H". But I never plowed with the "H" as we were using a 6 x 18 bottom plow which is a bit more than an "H" can handle. An "H" has only about 26hp which is less than some garden tractors but I'd like to see any garden tractor pull that 2 bottom plow. And the "road gear" on that thing is really something. Practically kills the engine just trying to get going in that gear.
What great video! I've never plowed a sidehill, so it was educational. Just curious, how did you get hydraulics on an H? Is there an aftermarket kit for them?
It’s Eric O’Farmer on a Farmall.
Other than all of the rocks, it looks like good soil !
nicely done ploughing job. what you really don't want to do is hook into a big tree root.
Great!!
The last time I drove a farmall u could run in 4 th gear , plow a inch or so , move your draw bar one hole or so So your plow will take the full width Otherwise it was good to hear a old rundeeperdeeper
Grandpa had an M with the close front (row) wheels and an H with the I-beam, spread apart wheels. For many years I thought this front wheel configuration was the difference. Close wheels meant it's an M and front wheels looking like an "H" means it's an H. Nope! Before he passed I was corrected. The M was a 3 bottom row tractor with a PTO and bigger engine and his M was a "Super M" with a 45hp rebuild done. Stuff we need to know about tractors :D
He loved that H, man. The M was a beast of a work horse and the H was just more versatile to him. Me, I liked the little 50's ford.
simple machines are the best!!!
When you get the plow pulled in.. the frame should be even with the ground you're plowing-- level ground should have a level (crosswise to the direction of travel).. its close.. but the back moldboard looks a little high...The old trip 44 I used has 2 levers to get it right... it will come out damn near perfect flat...
All my grandkids would be there going all over with medal detectors
I am assuming the hydraulic cylinder brings the plows back up? It was mechanical on our Oliver trailer plows. What a pain in the ass to get them to come back up sometimes, especially if you started turning before they hooked to come up. I must say your dad looks as happy and content as my dad used to being on the tractor and plowing! He absolutely loved it.
Yeah this is the 44"H" which means hydraulic. You are talking about an old trip type. They can be temperamental. Hey.. rumor has it you are coming to see me on Wednesday?
+wammyz Exactly! I just looked at that vid a bit earlier. A real pain at least for me.
That is the rumor. will you be ready? haha!
The Disgruntled Mechanic For that guy... ummm of course I am haha
How are those 38" tires holding up? I was sold a set with the lugs as far apart as yours seems to be. They made it two seasons of actual farming use before the lugs started tearing off the carcass of the tire. Not only that, they are about 2 inches shorter in height when stood side by side. It's almost like they are one size smaller than labeled.
I grew up on an M and do not recall it had gear whine. Sure hope you do not have a problem a brewing.
I've got to move from this desert I live in.
The last time I drove a farmall u could run in 4 th gear , plow a inch or so deeper, move your draw bar one hole or so So your plow will take the full width Otherwise it was good to hear a old farmall run
Does that tractor have gps auto-steer??? It's fun plowing with 2 bottom plow. Great video Mr.O.
straight
Any updates or new adventures with the farmall?

Olivaaa…..Liiiisaaaa!….Is that Sam Drucker over yonder?
Was offered one of these for $800 delivered. I know nothing on it but it does run and drive. Would it be worth it?
yes, i hope you bought it
Yes. Especially if its propane
Is there a reason you break in only one direction? If you didn't want to break from the outside in why not break from the center so you would break both going and coming? Just wondering. Love to see the old H doing it's thing.
Oh I dunno, on bigger fields I do but this field is so small I just plow it one way
Just curious but love your videos on both channels.
It's plowing straight now and flippin sod like it should so your Dad & you made a good adjustment. According to my video play time you just plowed in 30 seconds and you seemed to be plowing at a FF pace...
Yep the old girl seems to be working good now.
y am i just now finding out u have 2 channels? u should plug it in the sma videos
Is this were you end up Putting the Corn Eric O ? @After Hours With Eric O.
Yes sir
@@TheRealEricO that corn Grew Fast Eric
Eric O go see Mr. Haney for all your farming needs :)
Did the engine come up to operating temp after you finised the ploughing ?.nice vid👍
Nope, gauge barely moved
Outdoors With Eric O. Well at least you geave him a work out :)
+Outdoors With Eric O. Have you ever thought about taking the fan off?
Joe Shearer Nahhh I just let it run cool
Eric, I didn’t know you were a 2 bottom plow boy!!! What model John Deere plow is that?
44h
I didn’t know those had hydraulic remotes
Dad's good at that he doesn't have to even look back at the plow..
In the earlier video, Eric talked about not plowing very straight. If he is looking back at the plow, but his dad is looking forward and a little to the side, maybe that's how to make things a little straighter. Then look at the furrow on the way back to the starting point to check for problems. Of course, since he had issues with the plow working correctly in the other field, Eric just may be paranoid. :)
Eric doing way better then I ever could. But you can tell its not Dad's first day
Haha yeah deffinetly not dads first day plowing . The farm he works on now he plows with an 8 wheeled JD that pulls 10 20" bottoms. They just put in over 900 acres of corn.
Wow 900 acres Yes he might know what he doing
jim McMillen This just brings him back to when he started :)
Your a regular frick'n plow jocky ! 🚜
The old H sounds like she could handle a 4 bottom.

make that a onland Plow
Atlas
hey, if you know someone that also needs new tires for their plow, you could split the Goodyear Visa card.
Haha come on now I got some sweet white lettered tires up on there
Have you ever driven into town on a tractor?
All the time why?
Outdoors With Eric O. lol. I was just imagining you riding into town for a beer run and cars wizzing by. Kinda funny to imagine.
Drove my tractor to work last winter to help clear our parking lot. Got lots of looks coming through the front gate of a military installation.
Plow: I think you should have gotten a bigger plow or a tractor that can pull a bigger plow. I think you should have a plow that is at least twice the capacity of the plow you have now.
I am only plowing 2 acres haha pretty sure this is plenty big :)
siucbset H is a 2 plow tractor, I have the same setup with a '41 H, and JD 44H 2x14 plow. They are well matched for our clay soil.
my wife came fron a dairy farm.
Green Acres is the place for me....
