My Dad bought a brand new Super M back in the '50s, still have it, still use it, runs great. It was the second tractor I ever drove, started on a D2 Cat. Easy to reach the clutch when its a hand clutch. Still have his Super H too, but it is blowed up, needs a lot of work.

We also had a couple of 806 tractors back in the '60s. Put straight pipes on them and plowed at night with no headlights, the light of the flames out of the pipes was usually adequate.

Very little wonder I can't hear a damn thing any more.

I was thinking of posting but said, naw... then I saw your post.

Farmall @ age 10, then a McCormick tandem, and I felt really special when I got old enough for the JD 2010 (propane)and our neighbor had an old ‘poppin’-john’. Good times and I didn’t even know it!
