lightninboy Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I know flail chopping survived into the '80s or later. It's the manure spreader idea that didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still ran in 1988 or so when we gave it away. Redhead and I bought a 1950 IH refrigerator at an estate sale right after we got married in '77. Ran like a champ, froze a tray of ice cubes faster than a new one. We gave it away in '85 when we moved. It was still working well then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U-C Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The First Meili tractors starting from 1934 to the mid 40s were doodle bug tractors with a meili final reduction gear. And starting in the 40s Ernst Meili decided to update his tractors look and manufacture his own design. Engines and transmissions were still from old cars and trucks, Chrysler and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U-C Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Ernst Meili Traktorenfabrik assembly line, the Meili company was set up very different then other tractor companies, the management was very simple almost like a family run dealership, Ernst Meili (1900-1975) was the designer and manager in one lol very time he made a prototype he went on to the next project. His wife did the books. In the best years of the Meili company three tractors were made per day later only one. From 1934 to 1966 a total of 7000 tractors were made. The first ones were doodle bugs first with a second transmission for speed reduction then later Ernst Meili designed a much simpler way to do that. Also he designed steel grippers when going was to soft. Ernst Meili was a farmson lol I for got to add that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHhogfarmer Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 There hasn’t been a video posted in a while. The other night I came across this interesting WD45 ad. There are quite a few AC promos being posted on YouTube and I will say I enjoy them almost nearly as much as the IH films. But it’s not quite the same as their different colors? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
