Heritage Iron Issue #97 Jan/Feb 2025
- FEATURE TRACTOR: IH Hydro 100. The Hydro 100 tractor replaced both the 966 Hydro and 1066 Hydro tractors in 1973. IH was getting complaints from tractor buyers saying the hydrostatic drive versions of the 966 or 1066 were not as good as the gear drive versions and didn’t have the lugging power. Because of how a hydrostatic drive is constructed and designed, they don’t transmit engine torque like that of a direct gear drive. To find out why, read on and learn a bit about IH and its hydrostatic drive tractor designs. Feature tractor owner: Ben Ballard - Charlottesville, IN.
- Tony Reed's JD 4010: His family tractor was a John Deere 4010 diesel. This 4010 wasn’t just an average 4010, though. It had a little help from a couple of guys from Gibson City, IL.... this 4010 had an M&W turbo and oil pan.
- M&W's Revolutionary Oil Pan: On Every Collector's Wishlist. In issue 38 of Heritage Iron, we covered M&W’s New Life Kit and its effects on performance. We recently discovered the Product Info bulletin sent out by Elmo Meiners himself! This bulletin talks about the testing in his own words and is more than worthy of reprinting just as it is.
- Peerless: To have no equals. Good friends, Dale Hawbaker from Portal, North Dakota, and Francis Busch from nearby Lignite, North Dakota, decided they could work together to build two tractors: one for each of them. " Peerless" was used for major tillage work and easily pulled a 28-foot Graham-Hoeme chisel plow and 35-foot field cultivator.
- Problem Child: Almost every family has one – that one tractor that makes you question where you went wrong. Includes IH 560, Ford 6000, JD 2010 and 8010, Allis-Chalmers One-Ninety, Massey-Ferguson 2805, and others.
- Cockshutt 1350: A Yellow Tractor in the Big Red Line. During the mid-1960s and early-1970s, the lineup of equipment under the White Motors flag was all over the place. The rainbow of tractors included green, yellow, and red, and the crossover of equipment intertwined between all. While Oliver had been the primary source of tractors for Cockshutt during the 1960s, a yellow tractor got mixed in the lineup for a short time.
- Mini Muscle: Fred Miller's Elite Pedal Tractors.
- History Vault: The Ag scene from 40, 50, and 60 years ago.
