I like your wife's thinking. Everyman does need 2 140s. I have Daddy's 1963 model he bought used in 1976. He and I both used it raising tobacco, vegetables and whatever else that came along. I still garden and scrape snow with it. I like the older models I think better than the newer ones.
Blesssd with 2x140’s…that’s high cotton brother! Good luck with the restoration, would love to see a video as the tractor is stripped down for paint. I’m in the middle of my 1965 140 resto as I speak. Awesome tractors!
I am just tearing down a C123 from my 1975 140. Taking block & head to machine shop in a few days to check them out. Might be in the market for an engine if you might like to sell. Time and price will tell. Also have many extra cultivator parts if you have needs. Cannon County Tennessee.
I have a 1946 Farmall A and that hole in the hood is where the 1 gallon fuel tank went for starting with gas and when it got hot you switched over to kerosene.
The 140 was a big part of my childhood. Daddy and Grandaddy both had one and raised produce for the Finley Ave market in Birmingham. Spent a lot of time on that market in the late 60s through the early 80s. We still have Grandaddy's 140 and I'm working on it to get it back in good order for my sister's garden this spring. Working on that old tractor has brought back some great memories!
My poor wife thinks it’s not natural cause it’s red. I’ve tried to tell her that we don’t know what color corn is supposed to be. I told her Joseph might have put up 7 yrs of Jimmy Red. Lol One question is the jimmy red pretty sweet. I bought a ounce of the Hastings Prolific that I hope to get seed built up.
Great video and great looking tractor Scott. Thank you for the mention as well!! Can’t wait to see if fixed up! The all fuel distillate was quite a rare option in 1959 but not so much In 1949.
I know what you mean when you say we all need two . Well I started with a cub then I thought this thing ain’t strong enough so I bought a 140 then a 130 . So I get three . And my Mahindra to do my disking and tiller with . Love my red tractors .lol
The extra hole through the hood is where the oil fill tube cap would be on earlier Farmall tractors. If the valve cover on your 140 engine doesn’t have an oil fill tube made on it then the hood is not original to your 140, if the valve cover does have a fill tube under the hood it should line up with the hole in the hood.
I had the same steering slack on my Farmall A and also My farmall 100. The solution for both of my steering boxes was to take the sector gear and shaft out and clean them very well. then I used JB Weld epoxy to bond the gear onto the shaft paying close attention to filling the Key and key way slot to lock to the slop in the key area on the shaft. This key way has slop on all Farmall A family of tractors and is a design weakness because they used an assembly tolerance fit on the shaft to the gear so it is replaceable which means that the key on the shaft will always have slop unless you epoxy bond them together. My Farmall A with this fix has worked well for 15 years with almost no slop. I just last week did the same fix on my Farmall 100. Best of luck!
It was a multi fuel tractor. The hole is for a small gas tank that was used to start the engine. Once the engine was warm it was switched over to kerosene to run on. The original manifold would have a baffle in it and shutters on the radiator
That’s correct. The shutter control is still on the tractor but I didn’t see the linkage rod running to the front. I have the linkage rod and the shutters if you want to put them back. The small tank and all fuel manifold are tough to find.
@@ALTractorPickers I have the fuel tank on my model A, but I found it on a tractor with holes rusted through the bottom. I cleaned it up and put it on it for looks
Enjoy the channel! really enjoyed your 140 videos a few years back glad you are back on. So i went in my shop and made a quick video of my 140 i restored recently for you to see. Sorry I referred to you as Riley and not Railey in the video lol. Hope you enjoy!
