You know through the 60s and 70s that tractor done exactly what you are doing with it today. Old way's still producing crops today thanks to people like you.
We have a 140 just like yours. Had it for years. We use it year round. Flat belt for the cord wood saw, belly Mower in the spring, cultivators in the summer. Great little tractor. Great video!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love to watch old equipment working . and note, how smart the generation before us was. I too' like old jeeps ,tractors, cars and trucks and a host of other things as well. Plus a few new things as well. Nice video keep them coming . thank you take care
For my money, the Farmall 140 is the greatest small farm tractor ever built. I have a 1963 model that my daddy bought around the first of the year in 1976. For many years, it made numerous tobacco crops and I still use it today to garden with. It's a great old tractor that will still be running when most of the junk they build today is long gone
I remember in the late 60's and 70's Granddad used his for a saw mill andcorn grinder. We had a wagon we'd pull to the river fishing and for hauling firewood in South Carolina. Those were great times. My Uncle had a M Farmall, I used to love to hear it in a pull.
Those tractors both the Averys and IHC As, Bs, and cubs were I think built in factories 🏭 that were located in Louisville, Kentucky, Primarily for use of replacing Mules and Horses on small farms but especially for the cultivation and care of tobacco crops
Very interesting historical corn facts. I'm a student of history and especially US history. The tractor is an American classic. We're a agri-business family and have owned several over the last few decades. My dad began with a 1948 Farmall 100 and later we had a Super C and currently we have a 1977 IH Farmall 140 and a 1950 model Farmall cub which is an old restoration tractor from about 10 years ago.
Thanks again for the video. The drive mechanism for my IH Duplex Seeder was frozen up. I thought it was the gears, but it was actually the main rod was rusted to the cast iron "bearing" on the far side. I completely dis-assembled it to clean it and paint it. I had everything laid out so that I would remember how it went back together. After sand blasting everything with a wet pressure washer kit, I decided to wire brush it also. Needless to say I got parts out of order and couldn't remember which chain gear went to the outside. In the video at 8:30 it shows the larger gear to the inside. I'll try that and see how the spacing works out. Hope you and your's are well. God Bless, Ken
My first time, I noticed the plow attached to the front steering, cutting roots discplow, nice piece of equipment, my father never used the I H planter we all way used mule drawn seed drill .
Good video. Nice tractor. Hope to get some Ohio Blue Clarage in the ground soon with the 61 Cub. Been a very wet spring here on the Ohio/ Michigan line.
Great video. I have a 1950 IH Farmall Super A. My grandpa had a IH 1954 Farmall 100 and that was the first tractor I ever drove. The Super A was the first new tractor built by IH after WWII in 1948. Then came the 100,130 and 140. They are pretty much the same tractor other than a few changes in the hood. The Super A had a 113CID engine while the 100,130 and 140 had a 123CID. At some time someone replaced the 113CID engine in my Super A with a 123CID. I have the planter and fertilizer frames for my Super A but not the planter or the fertilizer units. Those things are harder to find than hens teeth. I agree best tractor to cultivate with. IH designed them that way and where marketed as "Culti-Vision"
My grandad had an Avery V model that he used to cultivate his roasting ear patch and commercial Strawberry 🍓 crops. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY IT GOT TRADED TO A NEIGHBOR AND WE LOST TRACK OF IT. The Avery V came along about the same time as the Cub 1946 or 47 his was an later model actually had hydraulic lift. The equipment unfortunately got hauled off as scrap iron ...the tractor was used to work his truck farming operation and later as a cotton gin yard tractor pulling and positioning cotton trailors at the gin yard...
I wish someone would put up some instructional videos (for 140’s) on attaching and setting up plows, disc, sweeps, fertilizer hopper with chain drives, cultivators etc. I’ve been away from the 140 farming for over 45 years and picked up a nice 140 with a bunch of attachments. It’s a one point hitch. I’ve disc everybody’s gardens but that as far as it goes. See I don’t remember how to set up the 2-12 plows, the fertilizer hopper chain attachment. So a video on these type things would help ppl like me who been away for many years and daddy and brother have passed on so I have no one to refresh my memory but you awesome CZcams farmall ppl.
I have been enjoying your videos. I’m trying to get set up with a duplex hopper and was wondering what plate you are using and how many tooth drive. Thanks
I recently bought a Super A and having been adding tooling. I was able to buy an A 178 or A 180 belly planter like you have and a couple of weeks later I found an IH Duplex seeder same as you have. Do you use a 7 or 12 knob gear to drive the seeder when planting corn? Also how many holes are in your corn planter? What spacing does it give you on your corn? Thanks, Ken
ToddtheWadd what implements are you looking. I have a bunch I don’t use. Byw where r u located(if you feel comfortable telling me. City and State is enough. Thx
I'm not sure but, I always preferred the old fashion field corn mainly Truckers Favorite both the yellow and white. My mom fried the best corn both sweet and field mixed in the same skillet 🍳
I’m planning on planting the Hastings Prolific if Mother Nature cooperates soon. What’s the setting on your fertilizer hopper? I bought a 52 Super C with mounted planters and side dressers. Wanted an idea on what kind of rates you use. I know you told me to plant it about a seed every foot.
Hey Eddy..I have my hopper set to put out about 150-200 pounds of fertilizer per acre..Its set about 3/4 of the way over. Now..all of them are different. But this works for me.Your need to experiment with the cub. Eddy your corn plate will be preset according to numbers of holes in plate. Ideal is 1-2 feet in the row with all Heirlooms . The cub is a great tractor!! You see a lot of cubs in big gardens all across America. Let me know how it goes. Scott
I notice you don't have any kind of shovel or sweep on the bracket in front of your planter and in line with it. I ran mine with one this planting season and wasn't thrilled with the results and the wheel covered very little of the seed. Do you find it plants better with nothing in front and just letting the knife on the planter open up a furrow?
Chris, You are right. In most case a plow/shovel ahead of planter opens a furrow then the wheel covers. The furrow later hold more moisture as well. I have planted last two seasons without shovel because of excellent soil condition. But if you have any small clumps in soil your in trouble. Next year I'm going back to the forward plow/shovel to open a furrow. In your case you may need to work your soil more before planting. Feel free to call. I have corn this year but not to my liking. It turned cold and wet after I planted...I planted again and crows hurt us bad...now in 2 week drought.Ha. But thats farming. All is well...it will work out and I learn from mistakes. Scott
Kathy Railey I replanted some beans and peas with it today with just an empty shank up front and it planted perfectly. Keep up the good work with the vids.
@@buckshot21000 I bought a Super A from the guy and he had the belly planter as yard art. It has one broken rear wheel that can be welded. I offered $100 and he accepted. I was given the IH Duplex planter when I offered $100 for 5 sets of seed plates from another guy. The IH Duplex planter is rusted solid. I hope I can get it freed up without destroying it. In good working order the IH Duplex Planter is probably $3-500 dollars. I've heard seed plates are $100/set. I would guess the belly planter is also $3-500. I heard one guy was quoted $2800 for a set in good working order. Where are you located? Good luck, Ken
@@customcutter100 ok thanks for the info. I’m in eastern North Carolina. My grandad has 2 farmall 140’s I want to get running but they have been sitting for probably over 10 years. They need a lot of work.
@@buckshot21000 OK, I was curious if you were near Thomasville Ga. That is where I got the IH Duplex planter from. He didn't have the belly planter portion though, only the seed distributor. Good Luck on the 140's.
Sir, I am new for farming but like it... normally I used a Walk behind tiller but I am looking for a used tractor and could u give me some advice what tractor best cultivate weeds and plant corn?
I’m glad to help. It all depends on size of garden. Small garden a walk behind just fine. Bigger gardens a Farmall offset … 130,140,super A …a fine choice. Also a 3pt hitch like Ford 2000, 3000, 600 … IH 3 pt hitch or anything similar is fine with pull behind planter and pull behind cultivator as well.
Bush green beans planted with the corn would reduce weeds in between corn stalks, and add much needed nitrogen to the soil. Thanks for the come back Scott....................Ken
We sell this variety for $6.00 per oz. next year we can offer it at the same oz price or $20.00 per pound. It’s quickly becoming one of our best sellers.
Hey Leonard, Early in the year I don’t use the plow... plant kinda like no till with out furrow... later I add plow because of dry weather in June. I’ve been dropping fertilizer in line with seed for wheel to cove but now drop it further to side... four inch’s away .

1965 Jeep CJ love it and that is a beautiful color.
Enjoying watching you work your equipment.
Oh I fogot Hey from West Virginia.
Thank you. West Virginia beautiful state.
there is something pleasing watch corn being taken from the cob into the ground to grow more corn, Thank you Sir :)
Thank you Darren
Great video, my great grandpa had a 140

I'm not sure but, I always preferred the old fashion field corn mainly Truckers Favorite both the yellow and white. My mom fried the best corn both sweet and field mixed in the same skillet 🍳
I used a 140 to work an old mans 75 acre farm, turning and discing then transplanting almost 5 acres of burley tobacco.

How far apart did the corn seed drop each time and how far the space of each row is?
10-12 inch’s apart and row width around 48 inch’s. Thanks for watching.
Please tell me you sing in some sort of choir. You sir, have an incredible baritone/bass voice.
Well thank you Chris... I pastor a church... but if I sang it would cause a mass exodus. God bless.
I would like to see plow the field with a 2 disk plow behind this beautiful tractor....
I’ll try to do that next year… thanks.
Do you know what model planter is that? I got a 184 planter but I like the fact you don’t have to look behind you to look and the planter.
It is an IH Duplex Planter with an A 178 or A 180 sword/planter. I just bought one just like it and trying to get it loosened up it is rusted solid.
