That H is coming along nicely.👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It was nice to get some stuff done, but lots to go! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice Chris, I enjoyed every minute, great project

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you Jan! Old tractors are fun to work on 🙂

[@HumbleHaymakers]

That’s a really simple tractor to work on - great video...👍

[@stinsonfarms6724]

Good looking H. I've always been a fan of the Farmalls. I have an 8N ford I'm going to get in the shop someday. Great video! Thanks Chris!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you! The H is my favorite 🙂

For a moment there I thought Rachel from all the Steiner videos was there to help you :) It's been my experience that replacement parts for these 75 year old tractors sometimes need to be "customized." That H is going to be really nice.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if she would come if I asked her. My daughter and I had a nice time working together. Aftermarket parts can be frustrating 😒 Thanks Pete!!

Nice work on the Ol' Farmall H there. I see you've got yourself an assistant now. LOL Thanks for sharing.

[@Jason1Pa]

Looking good Chris!! The shocks on the seats will not stiffin up the seat from going down too much. That's all in the spring.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks! I think the shock was sticking and preventing the spring from working correctly. Works better now 🙂

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

I enjoyed watching this Chris, one day I hope to have an IH 504 to tinker with. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed rest of the week my friend.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It is fun and rewarding working on this old iron, so don't wait too long to get you one 😉

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

A few great repairs on the farmall H Chris. I missed the video where you bought this, I am going to go watch it.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Man yeah, looks like you are getting it dialed in!! I got one of those cheaper seat covers for the Oliver too, seems to be holding up well! Those rusty screws when flatheads can be a bear for sure!! I see you have the same electrical connectors I purchased too 😉 Looking good!! Glad you figured out the issues on the rear light! Looks like you had pretty good help too,😉😁 Thank you for bringing us along, look fwd to more on the H 😁👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Glad to hear your seat cover has held up well. Rusty hardware is really frustrating 🤣 I got those connectors at NAPA. Working on wheel bearings and brakes now. Thanks Nelson!! 🙂

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm Yes sir!! Man yeah, hoping you are filming that too 😁😉👍

[@brycewiborg8095]

I have experience with those temp gauges. Not sure why, but I've never had a problem removing the sensor from the head. Definitely enjoy the H. Dad's went down the road when I was 16. I'm in my 60s. I still have a M, but not his M. Thanks Chris.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I was quite glad it came out without issue. Lots of things are rusty on this tractor. At least you have an M to enjoy! Thank you sir 🙂

[@FarmallFanatic]

You got a non existent bucket?

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I do, but I don't use it inside the shop 😉😁🤣

[@FarmallFanatic]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@onehappyfarmer3461]

Only one wrong part on this repair? That’s doing pretty good for you. 😂😂😂

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

😂🤣 1 wrong, and how many spare?? 🤪😜👍

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

Amazing you can even get stuff in today world 🤦‍♂️

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I know, I was surprised too!! 🤣🤣🤣 Aftermarket parts seem to be "one size fits all" 🤦

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Wrong parts, lol.. that never happens... A little trick for fittings and liquid. A vacuum on the radiator would help keep from losing antifreeze. Works on other things as well.. usually takes an extra hand too.. Nice job on the light! Especially the fuse😳😵🤪😜👍😆🤣 BTW, been there, done that.. a few hundred times 👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That's a good tip with the vacuum! Rusty bolts 🤦‍♂️ Thanks Ed 🙂

[@wesleycallison5593]

That's an aftermarket seat. Made by Monroe.

[@WormHoleFarming]

Just one wrong part and one "shot" fuse. I'd say you're batting 99%. Let's hope the rest goes that well.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Definitely not doing too bad! Thanks for watching 🙂
