TYM and Mahindra Tractors...Got a John Deere Instead!

[XP_Slinger]

Well fellers, my tractor hunt has come to an end. Thanks to all for sharing your wide range of experiences, it really helped me decipher what I actually needed vs what I “thought” I needed. In the end I ended up with twice the machine for half the price in my opinion. Hopefully if I do my part in maintenance this tractor will last my lifetime. Looking forward to working it, and at long last giving my grampas Farmall Super A a full restoration. That’ll be my next tractor thread

I did a regular A way back a decade plus ago. Easy to get stuff for those ol girls.

Had a guy ask me what was wrong with me I was using it in a chicken house after I had it all purty. Sorta funny moment.

My dad did his regular A up all purdy, still is. It’s had a pretty easy life towing wagons in the woods for grandkids

Yeah. I’ve been parking under a low roof. Muffler wouldn’t let me in as far.

Take note of where my throttle position is. Just barely chugging or she huffs smoke in yer face. And loud

If you slap that throttle to WFO the smoke plume will be 25ft over your head. Good to go...lol
