Here is my brothers and my 48' H, restored in 2004.
We acquired this tractor from my uncle who owns 6 farmalls. I think he gave this to us because he didn't want to be bothered with fixing it. My uncle paid for a weight bracket that I designed from a friends box, it was 150$ for 2 brackets, and just the metal alone was going to be 130+/-, so why bother cobbling one together when it can be professionally built? lol at a local tractor pull last summer, it held up 500lbs+ so I know it won't break too easy. it also makes a very nice chain holding device when "loggin". the rear tires are "safe mark" and show no signs of tread wear, but the sidewalls are getting eaten by weather cracking...
I use this tractor for skidding trees, pulling stumps, and baling hay with my Ford 504-1 baler. I also use it in local tractor pulls... It pulls the baler excellent, and has no problem pulling it up an incline.
Last summer I acquired a set of cultivators from the farm i work on, i haven't had a chance to mount them yet, but they looked like they have had minimal use, and the hillers still have original paint on them, as do the cultivator teeth.
