Get the "H" Out Of Here, It's Cold Turkey Now.

Could not pass up a new PRACTICAL toy that is gun related. Just bought a 1940 Farmall H with a gun rack installed by former owner for coyotes & groundhogs. Other than being in good condition and I being in need of a secondary tractor, the gun rack was the selling point - my IH 574 also has a gun rack. The only problem with buying this new toy is I have to go cold turkey from buying anymore guns in the near future according to Mrs. Gunpaq. Was looking for a John Deere B but too expensive due to collectors in this area.

Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

That's a bummer Gunpaq. I hope you don't have too many withdrawal symptoms. Of course you could simulate a few for a while then tell your bride ya jist gotta have 'nother gun!

Haven't heard anyone talk about a Farmall in years. I spent my entire boyhood working on my Great Grandads farm. He had three Farmalls a "C", and "H" and an "M". I spent alot of hours on all three. The only problem is there was no gun rack, what gives?

Just make sure that your state doesn't consider it a vehicle. I heard a story of a farmer who shot a deer in season with the proper tag while standing on top of the combine. The DNR called this "Hunting from a vehicle". Confiscated the combine, rifle, and deer.

IT496: I could not talk the guy into including the old Stevens .22 bolt action rifle that was on the gun rack with the sale. This guy also had some type of old .38 pistol in the tool box of a "M" as well as a .22 rifle on a rack. I think he had some type of old gun on every vehicle and in every building on the farm. If caught in PA shooting from anything on wheels with an engine = a fine + no matter what the circumstances.

Years ago I had badgers living in the terraces in my alfalfa fields. Those things will riddle a pond dam or a terrace. I would never see them while mowing if I was carrying a gun. If I wasn't they would lay on top o their dens and watch me. Very frustrating. My neighbor farmed my row crop land and treed one of the devils in a small tree about eye level. He said the only thing he was carring on his tractor was a claw hammer. He told me that he approached that badger with that claw hammer then looked at the badger then back at the hammer ......... crawled back on his tractor and went on about his business!
I don't usually shoot anything I can't eat, but I'll shoot a badger.
