Hello Mr Fanatic. My name is David Albrecht Vern was one of my best friends! Your new farmall 400 and plow was bought new in Waterford from Sam Myers, he had the Farmall dealer ship Waterford where the fire department is now. George Nick was the first owner he then sold it to his hired man, Jack Snider ! Vern bought it from Jack about 10 years ago. George never used the tractor very much, he quit milking cows about 5 years after he bought the tractor .Jack had a machine shop and motorcycle shop ,Snider engines, brilliant man ! ! ! .he just had 4 or 5 long horn cattle. He also drag raced Harley Davidson sportsters. My dad bought a TD 9 from George in 69 or 70. Anyway there all dead now. I still farm on Bagdad road, about two miles south of George Nicks and Jack Snider places . P S Vern was in a couple of your auction videos!
Gotta get some frame weights then she will be mint! BOOM!! Don’t forget to get a manual for the plow so you know how to set up with the Fasthitch plow.
Another series of 400 tractors for your collection. Farmall 4 cylinders, IH 6 cylinders, HI Crop, W, Row crop, Wide front, Narrow front. Gas, Diesel, LP. So many. So little time. As always, getting more jealous all the time. Love those auctions. Can't wait to see that 400 turning dirt. P.S. 60 X 100 building might be a good start to house them all.😄👍👍👍👍
I can't thank you enough for bringing me along. It's always a fun ride. Looking forward to seeing it in the field. I think it would be fun to watch the 8 pulling a disc. I know it wouldn't be much of a load, but it sure would sound and look good. Have a great day and I'll see you later.
You gotta beauty there. Even though it's not period correct I would put led lights on it because of how little power they use and how well they work, if you haven't had them yet you won't believe the difference they make. Worth every penny. I would love to have a low hour tractor like that for sure, it's almost a shame to work it but that's what it was meant for. Enjoy, can't wait to see them in action this year!
Back when I bought the master neighborhood fixit neighbor's narrow frontend fast hitch 450 and 4 16" trip beam mounted plows at the estate auction. He had set out the rt rear wheel to facilitate the plow and furrow relation. The end of that axle housing was cracked. He'd strapped it with a 5/16" X 3 band welded thereto. When we got around to it. I replaced the housing and doing so found two balls missing from the outer bearing. Searching found'em in the bottom of the differental case. All of this to suggest, you might want to be careful . . . 🤔
I think you should move your metal building to the left and extend your barn for more tractor storage like you did the other side. Moving that metal building would not be too hard to do. Jack it up and put some 6x6 timbers under it, chain each side together then pull it with your tractor, I think you have at least one tractor, lol. That would make a good video.
Live the good life man. Love the 826 and the 400. Just a few acres was talking a while back about generational choices on what tractors they want to have around. I love the letter series. But 400s and 450s seem like a niche that is going to take off around here. Kind of like what I had said about a 140 vs super A just reversed.
I always thought the first IH naturally aspirated tractors with the oval muffler were the 66 series. The 826s had the round mufflers which are the exact same muffler as the 756 diesel. You may be right about the oval being the option, but some certainly did have a round muffler.
I’m definitely in love with that 400!! Any who…. The rear light is in the same place as my 300 and the rear light turns on with the headlight switch on the dash 😊
Yup Jason, The switch on the lamp itself is for alternating between red highway lamp and white worklight. You're on top of things :) now Geno will be also.
Again, congratulations ! I see that the 400 doesn't have the large gas tank. That means it's in the early to the mid 56. My 400 has the large tank, because I.H was getting ready for the 450 when mine was built. I think you may start thinking about another shed in the near future. 🤔
Actually, I'm not sure about the Farmalls, but the W-400 it was optional all along. We have 2 1955 parts International 400s before they became the W-400 with the deep tank. Only the first handful of them were International 400, and even most of the 1955 models were W-400.
Well, here's and argument for ya, keep the loader on, you can use it as a plow tractor. That loader will give you plenty of front end weight. I did this with my old JD 3010D, I'd leave the loader on when I plowed, took it off for other field work. Worked great that way. I'd rather have a little too much oil than not enough. If I had the money and was at the auction, I would've gone after that 450, those were and still are sweet gems in my opinion, even if they were gas guzzlers. Great video as always, cheers :)
Nice 400 and plow Farmall Fanatic. I plowed a lot with a Farmall 400 diesel in high school back when we had one. I think your idea of putting the IH 2000 on the 756 gasser makes sense. I would like to have a loader just like that for my 560 gasser.
I say do it. Put the loader on the 756 makes alot easier to steer. I'm planning to put my bought 100 bucks 2000 loader on my 560 diesel once I get the engine rebuilt and Ta fixed. Congratulations on the 400 and the 3 bottom plow you stole. 😊😊😊👏👏👏👏
wow that is a beautiful , never seen a plough mounted like this before and one that has down pressure , we had a old farmall with a trailer plough also had the tool bar underneath , started on petrol and then on to TVO
@@FarmallFanatic now have IH 674 with a loader just finished silage , she did the mowing with a 6ft class drum mower did 30 acres in 11 hours , just got the round bales in today with her move 110 bales with her this morning , have a contractor to do the baling and wrapping but i do the rest , tomorrow she will be Fertilizing spreading for a second cut , Love IH Tractors , best tractors ever made
Nice machine thing must be going good for you picking up all this stuff...we always said on our farm in the day the 400 was twice the tractor of the our M, very well balanced bailing tractor for us on our hills had more power and TA was godsend on it plus the live PTO.
Very nice Gino awesome I'm happy for you. Made me smile to see how excited you are to own it. I agree on the flapper on the muffler you have it the right direction. Have a good day.
They're almost two different tractors completely... One is a draw bar with a loader on it and the other one has all the bells and whistles ever offered on the 400
Considering the hydraulic noise, and the fact the engine oil is overfilled. When you have finished your service keep a close eye on the engine oil level. These are notorious for the front seal in the pump to leak hydraulic fluid into the engine through the front cover. Just keep a code eye on both fluid levels. I run hy Tran for hydraulic fluid in my 300. Keeps things much quieter. Nice find !!!! Congrats !!!!
I am not a farmer, I have relatives who are but I think if I was I would buy Farmall traactors, it's just timeless classic beautiful machinery. That thing is a friggin unit, there is something about the sound they have that is amazing. I also love the Briggs and Stratton 10 to 12 hp gas engines from the 1990's sound as well, reminds me of my grandfather. God I miss him.
That is one beautiful tractor, itll be great to see it shine up those blades. Those M, Super M, 400, and 450s are such handy tractors to have even today. I have a narrow front 400 with a fast hitch that gets used to rake hay and blade the driveway among other small jobs.
She’s a nice 400 for sure. You have a good collection of nice Farmall’s. Give that light switch a spin up on the dash and I’ll bet the rear light comes on. That switch on the rear light changes the function from red to work or off I believe. Have fun with your new toy!
Geno, I want to give you a heads up on your new 400s engine oil. After you change it, keep an eye on the level of the oil. The hydraulic pump could be dumping hydraulic oil into your engine because of a bad seal. I know from experience that this happens more often than not with these old tractors. My SMTA was doing that last year. The oil level increased by more than a quart.
Hello Mr Fanatic. About your new 400 farmall, George Nick bought it new from Sam Myers the farmall dealer in Waterford where the fire department is now, George sold it to his hired man Jack Snider, that plow was bought new with the tractor, it was a four bottom but thay took one bottom of the front so that they wouldn't have to have the wheels widened out so far. Vern bought it from Jack maybe 7 to 10 years ago. They are all dead now. My dad bought a T D 9 crawler from George back in 1968 or 69 or 70. I have been around that tractor all my life. George sold the cows maybe 6 or 8 years after he bought the tractor. Vern and I were very good friends. We would have lunch together at least once a week, you have pictures of him at auctions you were at!

Welcome on encouraging you getting always at auctiom sales Gino ! Weight on new 400 Farmall thats lots $ for sure and pay of in long run when get them too!
Gorgeous tractor. I've had my grandfathers 400 since 2016, I'm currently looking for something to replace it as the general purpose tractor around my little place so I can restore it. 30 years of heavy hay use have taken their toll on her operation and appearance.
Rear light shouldn't have been on the left side of any 400. 450 it was moved to the left. Wonder if it had a 450 battery box put on it at some point? Looks great, sounds great. Lesgo brandon
