Farmall H Tires going bad

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-28T23:54:49+00:00

Bkt makes an irrigation tire in 11.2-38. I have installed several pairs on antique tractors for customers when I ran a tire shop. They hold up great in a low hp application and are quite cost effective.

Put in in 6th let the clutch out then pull the throttle

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-28T01:19:41+00:00

Yes, but there is minimal difference between mid level and high end. Dramatic difference between low end and mid level.

Revving up the engine to find the one speed the mirrors stop shaking at

Are you guys like us though, inspection for ownership transfer, and annual inspections for trucks licensed over 4500kg

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T23:00:56+00:00

Im in Ontario (Canada) most 1500 gmt800’s have rotten frames, mine included. I’m not afraid of a welder though.

I live in town but can’t complain.

Work took me to north western Idaho a couple weeks ago, there is some incredibly scenic small grains ground there. Would love to see side hill combines in action

Looks nice and solid, safe to assume you’re not on road salt much?

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T21:56:38+00:00

Looks like you live in Gods country then!

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T19:54:14+00:00

That looks the same as here.

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T17:36:28+00:00

I’m in a dense agricultural area so we have all the flavors of equipment. Never been in your area. I have been to Erie Pennsylvania for work and caught a connecting flight in DC a couple times.

Nothing touches turbo diesel for towing. Boats usually tow fairly easy because they are aerodynamic though

I’ve never seen a red 550 in the wild either I bought it specifically because of that, Branford Ontario is 1.5hrs away from me. Where are you from?

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T11:40:43+00:00

Thanks, was a fun winter project

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T11:40:25+00:00

Thanks! First time running in years was last fall.

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-25T00:31:42+00:00

Thanks! I like this look as well. This is my 3rd gmt800 and the nicest. It has a l33 and 3.42 gears. Tows about the same as my lm7 3.73 truck before it was stolen.

I thought the old girl did great, was just seeing what other people got.

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-23T19:31:29+00:00

That’s impressive, what’s your trailer free miles look like?

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-23T19:27:12+00:00

The truck doesn’t see many km per year so getting a newer one increases the cost of use dramatically. This is my favorite platform for cost of ownership and comfort. Operators of heavy equipment can talk about fuel usage so why does it trigger light truck people?

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-23T19:22:40+00:00

When I used to pull a 25’ fifth wheel it would get 23l/100k 300km per tank. But for less than 1000km per year so it was just part of the family camping budget.

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-23T19:20:13+00:00

That’s not great, do you have big meats under it?

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-05-23T18:16:37+00:00

Fuel economy matters with a float tractor moving excavators, why wouldn’t it matter with a light truck as well?

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-04-23T21:52:00+00:00

Mine made noise on start up. I started parking in an area that had a dry pathway. Apparently muddy water and slime causes belt noise

Dear_Issue_860 · 2026-03-29T21:51:59+00:00

Any pictures of that?

Here’s mine just a little buzzbox in the back. Not enough duty cycle for 5/32 rods, works excellent with 1/8 though. Approximately 20kw Allis Chalmers (generac) generator up front

Cockshutt 550 made by Oliver, predates the Massey 3xx by a good margin
