Farmall 400 - my all-time favorite.

John, the 400's got a bum rap for burning a lot of gas.
They had a smaller fuel tank, and most farmers then had a gravity flow tank, and just knew the ran out of gas quicker than their old tractor.

My friend collects tractors. Preferred formals but has Hart Parrs too.

A farmer, friend had a 400 he pulled a 3/16 three point rollover plow with. He steered with the brakes at times.

I've got a picture from a Red Power show of a non-existent tractor - a 300 diesel. Someone had done a very professional job of installing a diesel in one.

Had a worn out 400 with an F10 stacker on it in tbe 70s. That 8 mph 4th gear was perfect for coming in with a haybasket load of loose hay or square bales. The old M had a 5 mph 4th...no comparison. On an hourly basis, the 400 burned more fuel.....but per ton of hay moved, 400 was actually a little more efficient.

We had a 300 and a 400 on the o e f arm I worked.
That 400 would get the death wobble when you were roaring it.
Compared to new tractors it wasn't fast, to its compatriots it was.
Running it wide open on a narrow road, pulling a couple wagons,
And suddenly the steers and steering wheel start shaking and wobbling
all over!
That sumbich had to be running a buck-fitty.
But then, having brakes that either didn't hold,
or locked up,
helped offset the bad (worn clean dam out)steering.
But those old machines would pull.
Ain't hard to get one of those old beauty out and embarrass
some dude in a newer higher horsepower tractor.
Sometimes even 4wd.
Low rpm, high torque, heavy, and tall narrow tires that bite
will blow away high speed horsepower in a light unit.
Not always, but climbing in mud, pulling wagons full of maple sap?
I'll take old iron. JD 2-lung or an AC D-17 were the best I ever saw.
