There is a linkage arrangement that lowers them first while starting to lift to push against the ground and increase breakout force. I think the sales literature shows how it works if I can find it. Brian.

IIRC Fast Hitch was introduced with the Super C. It had a low mounted rockshaft with depth control from the Touch Control rockshaft. 200s were the same. 230 Fast Hitches had Traction Control. 300 and 400 tractors had a low mounted rockshaft and a depth control cylinder on the right side of the transmission. 350 and 450 tractors had the high mounted rockshaft and Traction Control. Also, IH had Fast Hitch kits for field installation and the Traction Control hitch kits may have been installed on the 300 & 400s. Brian

It was good to see you yesterday, Mike. I was admiring your 400 and the Delco ignition switch with the flip-up cover. My dad's 400 had the Delco switch and no cover. His 300 had a ?? switch with the cover. Must have been grab and go on the assembly line. Brian.

According to Guy Fay’s Farmall Hundred Series book, the standard seat was a metal pan, and the factory deluxe seats for 300 & 350 tractors had a silver Koroseal covering during the 1954 to 1958 years.

And don’t forget that by 1984 farm equipment sales had almost dried up.

I was guessing some kind of a wagon axle.

That must have been one of the last of the canvas windbreakers and it’s in very good shape. This is from a 1967 Parts and Accessories catalog that shows the 407021R2 part number. The 1970 catalog shows red vinyl windbreakers.

Yes VT, the second one. It looks like yours has 2. Are they the same size? If two sizes, maybe something to do with gun cleaning?

This one came from my uncle who was in paratrooper training for the WWII Japan invasion until they surrendered. I always assumed it was part of his “kit”, but the Germany stamping now makes me think otherwise. What would be the usage of the smaller pointed auger? Brian

Do you remember the dealer name or location? There was an IH dealer (Van Meter Motors) there that was gone by about 1960. I don’t remember Dad ever going there. He usually dealt with Bobst in Earlham or Riverside in Adel. Brian

From sledgehammer’s pictures: Is that a 560 TA center section? Edit: After a second look it seems to have a 6 cylinder engine and a longer hood as well.

Keeping an eye on the camera. 8/19/22.

I’ll have to look.. The mice probably got there first!

Had a little storm go through here yesterday evening. If you look close, it is a full double rainbow.

If clearance is a problem, get the high arch hold downs that are used on the inside end over the sickle drive. They will fit anywhere on the bar.
