Farmall H Super
Of all the old farm machines there are many people who really like the Farmall H Super and have been using one for many years. I know a few people who are hoping theres will last them a few more years yet as they work together on farms. They tell me that their Farmall H Super has become apart of them after working together for so many years. Amazingly you can still be them and pretty much all of their parts online so they should be able to keep them going for a few more years.
The mid-western United States has been home to many community and local "threshing shows" for a good number of years. However, the interest in collecting and refurbishing antique farm tractors didn’t begin to prosper until the 1980’s. People who were interested in antique farm tractors began to form clubs and started to have yearly demonstrations for the general public. This in turn, sparked even more interest and generated more devoted followers of antique farm tractors and antique farm equipment.
Each collector, of course, had their own special brand or make of farm tractor that they were particularly interested in and they focused their collections around these makes. For example, a collector could be a devotee of Farmall tractors and only collect and refurbish antique Farmall tractors using Farmall tractor parts. Another person may be interested only in Massey-Harris tractors or John Deere tractors. National organizations began to evolve devoted to the different makes or brands of farm tractors, i.e., an organization devoted to just John Deere collectors and an organization devoted entirely to antique Ford tractor collectors.
And, in turn, the earliest magazines and newsletters were devoted to a particular make of the prime builders of farm tractors. Consequently, the magazine named Wild Harvest was devoted to Massey-Harris tractors and farm equipment, Green magazine and Two Cylinder magazine were all about John Deere tractors and Red Power was devoted to International Harvester farm equipment. Neglected in the magazines of the antique farm tractors were the equipment produced by the varied smaller farm equipment companies. In addition, no regular, formal clubs were created for the lovers of the farm tractors constructed by the smaller manufacturers.
No matter what brand or make of tractor you are interested in, there are plenty of other people interested in the same thing and what better way to find a part of your youth than to collect the farm tractor of your childhood.

A narrow stance Model H lasted for many years on the farm, and that could have been bought as early as 1939. There was also a Farmall C, and that was only produced from 1948-1951. The best of the lot was the Farmall Super M.
