Shifting Gears…Weingartner
by Farm and Dairy Staff
1953 Farmall M
Owned and restored by Ray Weingartner, New Castle, Pa.
Ray Weingartner bought the M at an estate sale and is the third owner of it. He restored it back in 1980. Weingartner figures he’s restored 50+ tractors — mostly Farmalls, from Cubs to M’s. “After 40 years in the steel mill, I needed a hobby to take up my spare time,” he writes. Oh, and in his spare time, he milked cows, and the dairy is now run by his son.
