My father in law tore this one down to the last bolt and rebuilt it a few years ago. Now it rides in most of the local parades.

He needs to baptize it with a plow , mud and dust.[:)]
Rebuilt my H and repainted to show but it is a working tractor.
Great job!!!!!!!!
You can see by his face how much he enjoys the tractor.
Got the same one in all original condition..
So lets see a PIC !!!!
I've driven those H's several thousand hours, and despised every minute of it. They were pathetically underpowered, even with M&W sleeve and piston kits, lacked enough weight to hold traction to even back up a full wagon, and would smack your arm on any turn in rough ground you didn't hold the steering tight on that tricycle front end. I started when dad had to strap wood blocks on the brake and clutch pedals so that I could each them, and that open platform was damn cold hauling wagons full of corn in Indiana in December in the pre thermal underwear days.
Not bad for an Economist that some think lives in an ivory tower and has no real world, practical experience.
That being said, that series of tractors were the best looking bunch of the group that came out in the late 30's and early 40's, and still look good today.
My grandfather bought one new in 1941 for 1000 bushels of corn, and we still have it.
