@boblackey1 , yeah I know what they will do, my 48 A still has cast iron pistons in it. I use it to plow, disk, mow, and pull scrap metal out of ditches.

@79fordblake The stock M Farmall or the Massy Harris couldn't walk the dog with our big disk and big trailer plow like the John Deere "G" on fuel oil with cast iron pistons. The G is a little quick to back fire like a shot gun going off when you stop and throttle back for a break for grub and something to drink while on fuel oil. But man I'm not kidding. The M Farmall and the Massy Harris sounded like a kitten and that big 415ci "G" on fuel oil sounds like a LION. A stock G was king in my area.

@79fordblake If you want tremendous luggin power, then a stock G, like my uncle's 1947 G (bought new, still has it) with cast iron pistons and you run it on kero. You start on gas in the small tank and then when you get hot (about 180 degrees) you open the shutters and switch over to the fuel oil tank and we used to pull plows and big disks in large fields and as the sun began to set, you could see a flame coming out the stack. And a big, powerful sound. A deep cluck, cluck heard for a mile.

If you want to have lugging power cast iron pistons are good for daily work. If you actually want more horsepower high compression aluminum pistons are the way to go. Alot easier to sling those aluminums around than the cast iron ones also.

yes, you sounded like there was some blow-by, but still not bad for essentially new ground. my '42 G(M) is equipped with .125 pistons and still pulls hard in new ground w/ a 3 16". also, the vibration is a bit much. overhauling these tractors w/ cast .45's seems to be the best bet, and that's what i intend doing with my 2 '43's. thanks for sharing this. louis

@LouisGodena: The plow is a John Deere 55 ABH 3-14". This ground was set aside ground that had not been touched for about 15-20 years. We had just cleared all of the scrub brush and small trees with a 450 Case bulldozer. The tractor is standard bore in desperate need of an overhaul!!
