Laughed out loud at "Preparation H" as you asked "Why are you laughing? Good on you Squatch for keeping your family legacy going. I go to a Clam Bake yearly where the "old farmers" in the group talk about either buying back their first tractor or looking for one just like it to refurbish. Since you have kept yours in site, it will make for several good videos. I look forward to following along. SIT Christine, SIT! ...

[@matthayward7547]

I respect the heck out of you keeping this tractor forever sometimes the memories are more than priceless

[@htwrk2]

All right! I’m looking forward to another build! Hope Christine doesn’t get jealous seeing you working on the H. This video looks like it was filmed in the middle of January. We’re gonna hit 86 degrees this weekend in southern New Hampshire. Still it must feel good to have made all that progress on X231, a major turning point in that project. I can’t believe the H started with that super slow cranking speed.

[@danielbutler578]

No surprise to me. I used to hand crank an M. The coldest weather that I started her in was at about zero. She was a bit stiff so I blocked the clutch pedal down and she started pretty much like she always did. I had to let the clutch pedal up slowly to keep it from stalling and I had to let her warm up a little while before I could get the shifter to work but she ran just fine. She had the same points in the distributor for at least 10 years. I would clean them up every Spring with an emery board and check the gap. I miss that old girl.

[@chrishanes4310]

I can't wait for this series! Improviing the first tractor you ever drove is special, no matter what model. I am in the process of doing the same. Thanks so much for the picture of your Ganndpa with the tractor. That makes it even more special to me. As John Prine put it - those memories "can't be boughten".

[@michaelscriffiano9267]

Looking forward to this one.....I could never understand positive ground anything. Could you possibly elaborate on it?

[@erik_dk842]

It's supposed to give less corrosion problems

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Neat old H you got there, Squatch! Love that you were able to buy it from your grandpa and keep it in your family. That is definitely a prized possession. I look forward to seeing the cosmetic updates to it. Happy Easter to you and your family!

[@ThisOldFarm]

Excited to see the project!! If you don’t end up finding a seat at Le Seuer, I think I’ve got one for you from my parts M. It’s even got the flip back seat pan if I remember correctly. Let me know if you’d like it!

[@michaeljames2814]

Perfect timing! I have 26 old tractors but not a farmall H in my collection...yet that is! It'll be next when I find one. Looking forward to project so thanks for taking us along!

[@brucemorehead8724]

Can't wait to see the work on the H. I still have my great grandfather's 1941 M which I operated on steel wheels in my youth and then restored decades ago but is now in need of pretty much all the same things as your H. In fact it was flat belt drive trouble and your work on the Super M belt pulley that brought me to your channel.

[@timothyball3144]

Just a cosmetic refresh, he says. How's that working out? Lol

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Looking forward to it, buddy. Can't beat an old H. I understand the exhaustion level on the MM, so turning wrenches on something that smiles back at you instead of talks smack right to your face... I can understand! Looking forward to it.

[@rogernation2551]

I couldn’t agree more. The “H” will be most gratifying, can’t wait.

[@danielbutler578]

But I can't understand why you call X231 Christine. If it was possessed like that car it would put itself together and put a perfect paint job on itself. As I recall, the car called Christine was smashed and even burned and it still restored itself.

[@charleswray404]

Cannot wait for this series to start have a '45 M that needs a refresh as well. '45 Farmalls were the first built after WWII. Love the series title. Keep up the great work on X231 and on the H.

[@stevestrohacker8436]

Charles, what serial number do you have? The first tractor I bought was a '45 M.

[@charleswray404]

@@stevestrohacker8436 when I am back to the farm in May will get it. My Dad who was an IH mechanic said the 45’s were government. Would like to get confirmation.

[@stevestrohacker8436]

@Squatch253 the numbers you gave there are from the '49 year list I have, bud. Whose list do you use? For 45, the numbers I have are 88085 - about 105563. Rather, 88085 is the first '45 and 105564 is the first '46. I typically use Guy Fay's IH Tractor Data Book for my numbers. And found the info on the Wisconsin Historical Societies IH DATA information.

[@mabmachine]

Production of the M never really stopped, it just slowed down due to lack of materials. Actually there were more units produced in 1944 than there were in 45 and 46. Its my understanding there were waiting lists for tractors at that time. Production really went crazy during the post war boom in the late 40s and early 50s.

[@stevestrohacker8436]

@Squatch253 simple mistake. I'm not sure why I didn't think to check the H list myself...lol. IHC is my color of choice, but it's not hard to slip up on the various models. I've decided, like you with the D-2, that my focus is on the 4-series. Specifically, the O-4. That alone takes up enough brain cells to memorize every feature, variation, change s/n, etc.

[@mikewednesday8541]

Looking forward to this project! Spent a lot of time on H’s and M’s baling hay in South Central Kansas in my teenage years! Good memories !! 👍🏼 Thanks!

[@jamesmann1243]

Preparation H!!! I thought I would mess my pants!! Best laugh I've had all week. Toby, with your exemplary workmanship, and attention to detail, that Farmall H will be just as much a "Queen" as the Super M. You know, International rear ends always had an inherited Whine about them, every International truck, (large, single axel, or tandem) that had in house International manufactured rears, whined like crazy. I grew up in southern wva, and a block company in town had 5 old R-190 International tandem dump trucks that hauled sand from a sand quarry back to the plant. You could hear them coming a mile away both loaded and empty, didn't matter, from the gear whine of the rears. Like you said earlier, you may not get it all out, with newer gears but at least you tried. It's just the nature of the brute's. Good luck, I will be watching!!

[@wemedeeres4105]

Just to clarify that is an aftermarket seat, NOT factory John Deere, I'd hate to see you spread misinformation. 😉😉🤣🤣🤣

[@bradmeyer4786]

We have a JD "A" and Farmall H with what looks to be identical seats as that one. I'm pretty sure it's made by Wagner (as in shock absorbers.)

[@wemedeeres4105]

@@bradmeyer4786 Yep they are an aftermarket seat, I've been in conversations with a number of guys that claim it's an IH seat on a JD being they are so similar in design to the factory IH seat, it seems like they see that big spring and don't bother to notice the shock absorber LOL

[@billhartl6601]

You drove it in, instead of backing it in. Will you be Flipping it around before you start the process? Just seems you've had everything else backed in to work on. And seems late in season to start this project?? I'm assuming you'll soon be neck deep in outside summer work and shop time will end? Or is this not a very long endeavor?

[@daver681]

You do a good job with your work but you need to realize that some original things are junk mainly that 6 volt electrical system, I grew up with a 8n Ford and forever it barely would start and when I got old enough a old mechanic showed me how to convert it to 12 volts and we left the 6 volt starter on it and put a GM alternator on it and we never had to replace the starter and from that day on weather it was 10 or 100 degrees when you barely touched the starter button and bumped the choke it was running. period, that old 6 volt junk was pure junk, original or not, even with a brand new battery it was still junk.

[@seniorelectrician6831]

Wow, a lot of editing and left out. I remember a guy that couldn't get his tractor running because it had no desire to get there a flood or two, an ignition cleaning, couple of trips with a battery. 🤔 Sorry, it taken so long, I was gone to the southwest. Looking forward to getting back home to catch up on these

[@brianstade1257]

the mechanical general is bumped up to 10 volts so the battery charge and all ancillary extras can cope very well (lights etc) and the battery lasts long not being worked so hard in starting the engine.

[@andrewviersen7418]

So now my algorithm won't quite suggestin cures for hemeroid, did I hear you say release the kraken 😅

[@SandBoxJohn]

Why are you laughing? Because the tiled you gave to the project is funny.

[@Primerk5]

Being a wartime tractor it should have a steel grill emblem. Did it have the original tin radiator? Mine still does though it's missing half the fins. It may have been a mag tractor from new without the lights. Mine had/has homemade light brackets

[@gerrywinzor1103]

Just what you need to relieve you after that pain in the assembly

[@stevew270]

I'm glad you were able to get it, I bought my grandpa's 1946 H that he bought new, I've had it since 1997 and like you it was the first tractor I ever drove, the first anything I ever drove honestly.

[@DavidWilliams-rn6uq]

Prep H?!?!? Have I ever mentioned that you ain’t right in yer head?

[@brianstade1257]

Have you ever thought of using an 8 volt battery (4 cells) for the tractors? The only modification you have to do is to kick the old adjustable voltage regulator from 8 volts (for 6 volt battery) to 10 Volts so the battery can charge , all other components can handle the voltage increase (as long as the battery terminals are clean and tight) and it makes it easier to start and the battery lasts longer as well. We have had quite a few 6-volt electric cars and a 4-cell battery makes quite a difference in starting.

[@erik_dk842]

I read about the 8 volt battery upgrade some years ago, and it makes perfect sense. Most of the old stuff has huge voltage drops to the consumers, so the lights and horn will actually work as intended, when they no longer need to run on less than 6 Volts

[@larrydavidson3402]

[@karlfischer1011]

You maybe didn't need to swap the battery 1 of the times. Some of these generators will power the distributor above idle, so once it was running the battery could come out. With a magneto I wouldn't think twice about running without a battery. Speaking of magnetoes, this was probably a magneto tractor originally and maybe even had steel rears in factory form. Not all vertical Delco distributors are for an Allis. Delco marketed replacement distributors for IH and other tractors that originally had magnetoes. In the 50s the higher compression pistons and upgraded replacement internals to match the super and numbers series in current production required a distributor with modified advance curve compared to the mag. Also the labor ($) to tune up a mag was frowned upon and the operation didn't make sense to some people so distributors were a welcome upgrade purchase.

[@Recommended_by_Fred]

Delco-Remy sold the distributor kits back in the day, the advertising proclaimed better economy with a better ignition curve. A lot were bought to replace the original magneto ignition, popular option on war tractors, so they would run without a battery , as you know stuff has to be in pretty good tune to start on a 6volt system when it’s below zero!

Well I can sort of relate to your H history .. it was my introduction to big tractor driving in the 60 / 70’s … from there to a BMD ..! Diesel hit the farm ! Then the final IH … a 706 ! Serious power and gears .. Dad ran that till he sold the farm in 95 - only one motor and one TA and I fitted a turbo to it which upped the neddies for the same fuel . He ran a 234 two row harvester in it picking sweet corn , then cribbed corn with it till a new idea 4 row came along ..

[@vmdairy]

The first tractor I ever drove, too, was a Farmall H in the 1950's. Purchased by him in 1940, it stayed on the farm until 1971. You might want to do some more research because the seat was exactly like the one on your H. I know it came new from a local dealer.

[@janbill79]

Things that I like on a farmall H that doesn't bother me . The extra clamp on each side next to the drawbar one , Usually left over from cultivator, weather you need it or not I like them on it. The seat I favor has the shock absorber in the rear instead of in the middle. I favor the battery ign. distributor that go straight up over the straight forward ones ( the hood doesn't bother much in my opinion) the roller drawbar obviously better. I also don't mind 6 volt system. (although the batteries need replace more than twice as often as a 12 volt battery) & you need the very heavy battery cables. I'm still not sure about adding a solenoid, one of mine has one works out fine. the newer H or proceeding farmalls have the keyed amp meter box. The 1945 h"s are my favorite also with the steel shift knob. As long as someone changed it to the easy ryder seat and it has tight steering and good tight/ straight sheet metal. here's a couple topics on farmall letter series that would make a good video 1. take a farmall H transmission cover and show where every spot where there is not a blind bolt that could leak water into the tranny when left outside & 100% fix seals to add to bolt or or a not ugly way to add flat plates to cover the troubled areas with silicon& flat plate. #2 find a way to paint the hood with a stencil to equal the factory paint on tractor name . JUST AN IDEA

My O-4 #706 also has the Delco-Remy vertical distributor on it. I'm not saying it is original to the tractor as it was 68 years old when I got it, but patina wise, it is correct. I think it was either a dealer or early early modification to the Ole girl. I like to leave my tractors in their work clothes. But there was enough work needed done and tinwork replacement needed. I couldn't blend the looks, so 110% restoration will be done. The right bolts andactory original everything. The only thing not from IH will be the tires, tubes, air in the tubes, spark plugs, gaskets, oil, filter, primer, and paint.

[@RuralTowner]

Have a '63 Massey Ferguson 101 Industrial...beefed up version of the TO 35. Got it in early '14 to help w/ the slowly progressing property cleanup as it has a loader bucket. It has scars from previous ownership...mostly from a life prior to the PO which was clearly harsh in a road dept w/ asphalt that got painted over...damaged & repaired loader frame. As the lift rams were shot & getting OEM replacements was out it ended up with reinforced pivots to allow the use of the heavier cylinders I was able to grab. Eventually found some slightly skinnier ones better suited for my needs that actually gave enough lift to clear the sides of a 77 IH Loadstar dump. The RH brake barely grabs & likely saw next to no use as the pedal has little wear while the LH brake almost buries & does work if you put your weight into your leg. The clutch pedal needs adjustment. I really need to park the ole MF & give it the attention due.

[@GlenTurner-im9cf]

I have an H I would donate to your cause. It has the correct seat. The rear half of the tractor is complete with very little wear on the pedals.
