Used to work on an agco with a Deutz for a guy .

I think this 4300 is scanned from my 1963 Buyers Guide.  Ralph, Anytime I hear or see the term IH 4300, I always flash back to this photo of mine. I remember taking my 1960 B-100 IH pickup, with cousin James and my dad, to the Mehmke farm near Great Falls; about 80 miles from where I grew up. They were allowing the Great Falls, International Harvester factory store demonstrate the new 4300 IH 4 wheel drive tractor in field demonstrations. I don't remember the bottoms pulled by the tractor, but I remember it was a 3-point hitch, hydraulically raised plow. As though it was a plow on the back of a little Ford tractor. They demonstrated the ability of this tractor to crab steer, which fascinated me. I don't know if it was the day before, or the next day after we were there, the photo below was taken? Carl Mehmke had me scan the photo of his dad's 30 hp undermounted Avery and the 4300 plowing together, west of their buildings. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was their first hydrostatic drive model. They sold a lot of these as well as the model 10 pull types.

My Kubota (with the cab, loader, 4WD....) is in the shop going on more than a week now and I am hauling manure and feeding bales with the 856. A capable tractor to be sure, but no cab.

hillskinefarms Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 X2 on the heat houser. I travel 2 miles between farms with my Hydro 86 and grinder mixer. 1 load per week and soon to be 2. It was brutal some trips in the winter. I bought a new Femco brand heat houser last year and don't want to be without it, ever. What a difference. This week is going to be COLD, several nights of -20* and highs of 0* during the day. I am not dreading the ride at all. It's amazing what a little canvas and plastic will do.

Many years ago my dad put in a good many hours pushing snow with the Cockshutt 50 keeping the school bus route open in this area. First with the V plow and then later years with the nine foot cancade blade. He usually ran it without the plexiglass windshield as it cut down visibility but he still got all the heat off the engine to keep from freezing.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Some vintage 1939 Simoniz wax here. Wonder if it would work for me? I made a brief attempt out in the workshop with some Turtle Rubbing compound yesterday but it froze to the paint. Yes, my shop was down around 0 degrees. Still warmer than outside. Just not warm enough. :-) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everybody joins in it might get a little overloaded and need categorizing. Interesting ad for the new 86 series you posted. Never seen anything like that except for when JD introduced their new "sound gaurd bodies". I think they showed up at the dealers enclosed in cardboard . Just a little automotive input here as it is impossible to scan the old magazines without seeing an ad for a farm truck. Anyone else ever seen the unit bodied Mercury pickups from 1961? For that matter does anybody even remember Mercury trucks? (Hint: its a Ford) Yes Ralph, I have seen the uni body when they were new but only in Ford version. Turned out to be a bad idea as the sheet metal would stress & break just behind the cab. Much like a few GM four door hard top cars would do on country roads.

Ray I would guess with all the flexing a pickup frame has to do that the unitized body would eventually fail to handle the repeated stress and crack. I've seen the odd one advertised. Here is another similar ad for the Mercury trucks from 1961. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George 2 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks, Hillman. I just have to find one now. Is that the Canadian version you have? Two of our neighbors had Super W-4's and another had a 1952 W-4 with the live pump and a loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillman Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 that's a USA brochure. . That's the only copy I have of the SW4 brochure. and I forget what I paid but it was not cheap otherwise I would have multiples. I got your old neighbor beat by a large margin on SW4s  Did you notice the picture shows Dunnville clay!? plowing up bricks by the looks of it  I have a black & white version of the Sw6 brochure as well as this colored copy   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George 2 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Or should I say Glencoe clay. Some of the toughest clay in Ontario. I am not sure which is worse, the Haldimand clay or the Glencoe clay. By the way Case IH in the development of the 7500 plow tested it in the Glencoe area before taking it to northwest Ohio for some more tough clay. They had it on a 7120 2 wd tractor in the fall of 1990. I know the gentleman who was the project engineer for that plow and talked to him a couple of times about it. The day I saw it, it was parked at Ross Wilson's dealership. I have the SW6 brochure and the SWD9 brochures. I got them when I was a kid. Nice pictures of an enjoyable period in my life.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
