MinnesotaFarmall Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Pretty neat, says it uses exhaust pressure to lift the machinery. Never seen that before. https://stcloud.craigslist.org/grd/d/buxton-ih-exhaust-lift/7454733137.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahamfireman Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Pretty rare, for $100 someone better get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yes, the pneumatic lift system was available on the A and B Farmalls. It was an alternative to hand lift on those machines not available with hydraulic power. The Char Lynn PTO power unit was a popular add on to provide hydraulic power too. My Farmall B has the exhaust lift. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawleigh99 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I have a friend who has an A with that lift. I understand they would rot out over time from the exhaust gas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.c.farmerboy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 very common on A's and B's till they perfected the touch control system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_Guy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Add says complete, meh not so much. I see lots of missing pieces. Rather I don’t see lots of pieces. I have a few cylinders that I haven’t paid anywhere near $100 for. Inflation I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I understand It's a sorry set up, it will burn valves. like said, that one is not complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred B Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The Minnepolis Moline 2 row RTU tractor had a 2 row lift system for implements, it was live lift,It worked whenever the engine was running, clutched or not, just like the IH B, the RTU & IH B were 2 row tractors didn't use any power when between lifts, like todays systems, but were built in 1939. However the rtu MM was independent right and left sides, or simuitaneously & didn't use hydraulic oil, how did it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar farm Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Had an old customer that called it "fart lift" 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Accually I guess it's a kind of a trick question. the farmall B, used exhaust, & the MM RTU used engine oil. so at what point did the engine oil become hydraulic oil?, 🤔 pumped by a 2 piston pump, operated off cams on the cam shaft,that only pumped when the operator triped a lever. Flacualence on that exhaust lift sounds more like the way that Farmall B system would work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N S Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Some pretty amazing engineering way back when. Exhaust lift is a form of hydraulic lift only using gas instead of oil. I have seen water lifts using the weight of the water itself to lift water higher than its source, using a similar principle. Can't explain exactly how it works but watched it do its thing. Sure nuff, water raised itself, although it took a fair bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
