Nice tractor. That one has the narrow fenders and 3 point hitch. We have one too, and it's got the wide fenders, full platform, and just a swinging drawbar.
It's a beauty. I hope it see's another 10,000 hours of work on your farm. That kind of fooling around at the beginning of the video brought back fond memories of when I first started farming in the early 90's. racing tractors up and down the roads with your buddy hanging on to the back of the seat, and of course we hooked them to everything we could find to see what we could pull. I always went for the Ford 8700 for the racing, but the SAME Hercules was the best puller of the bunch we had on the farm (fwa)
A wheatland verses a row crop had several differences. The wetlands had round fenders, often bigger rear tires, no three point but a swinging draw bar, the front axle is moved back for a shorter turning radius, and most of them did not have a pto. This tractor has a three point off a 966. I tried to remove it to put the original draw bar on but it was rested on and would not come off. These tractors were a little cheaper then the row crop and often used out west on the large farms for pulling plows and other field machinery.
The biggest difference is the front axle. They have a swept back front axle, and the steering mechanism is different. The lights are in the grille. Then the tire options. The standards have optional 24.5-32 tires (which is typical) or 18.4-38 duals and 11.00-16s for steering tires are standard. Farmalls often have 18.4-38 singles on the back, although some have the longer axles and duals as well. If the tractor is equipped with a cab, they are otherwise the same, but if not then the rounded fenders are for the International tractors and the flat top fenders are on the Farmalls. There is guarding around the clutch and brake pedals the Farmalls don't have, and since the standard tread tractors usually have just a swinging drawbar, they often have extended platforms, allowing mounting and dismounting off the back. The owner of the tractor said most didn't have PTOs and that depends on where they went. If they went to places like Kansas or Nebraska, that is true. Here in Western Canada, where probably most of them came, that is not true. Most here do have PTOs. From the factory, they only had a 1000 RPM PTO. A lot of times farmers changed them to dual PTOs. Ours has that, but the guy who sold us the tractor gave us the original.
@@iowafarmer93 I don't think they were enough cheaper to talk about. I have a 1951 price list and the Farmall H was $14 more than the W-4. It's just the standard tread was the preferred choice for certain kinds of work. I'm from Western Canada where the standard treads dominate. We don't grow row crops here. All implements are trailing type. Farmers liked the rounded fenders as they help keep the dust away. Especially the older tractors, the drawbar is much more robust on the standard tractors. Also for a loader tractor, the front axle is heavier, and of course, they turn nice and tight. 3 point hitch was an option, but they are a rare option. But here, in Western Canada, most had PTOs.

Beautiful job,the greatest muscle tractors ever built!
Take it easy on those old workhorses .

Nice restoration!
Awesome tractor!
What are the differences between a 1206 row crop and a wheatland?

Row crop could be spread out to different widths and the other couldn't...
Very nice!
