    Daughter & Son in Law gave me this 1949 Farmall H to go along with my M. Good runner, needs a little paint & a few small things, but a good solid old horse. Can't wait to start tinkering.

    What a cool gift amateur cutter ... I always thought I'd like to own one of the small Farmall tractors, when we were at the farm... thankfully, I understood I'd prolly kill myself, flipping it over backwards, with my wicked triffic clutchin' skills... :whistle:

    Nice! Tractors are another thing it’s hard to have too many of, like chainsaws.

    Sweet amateur cutter. A nice addition for sure. Congratulations.

    Is that little bit of oil on the floor from the tractor? Hopefully not but if it is, you can fix that quickly.

    J. Dirt will be envious.

    Just seeing this now!!! :D Congrats! You’ll like how much more nimble she is over the M!
    Someone stole the air cleaner huh? :picard: I’d be curious if the old belly pump works? I see the control rod missing.

    False alarm!:doh: It’s some of the throttle and governor control rods. I’d be happy to send pics and measurements from my tractor.

    Thanks Eric, really appreciative to my kids. SIL had a chance to buy his uncle's super H & my daughter told him he had to get rid of one.:thumbs:
    The oil was from a truck repair I hadn't cleaned up yet. No apparent leaks!
    Yes Sir! new toys are always fun.
    Good eye J. Dirt , I have an air cleaner for it, I haven't tested the belly pump yet, that's on next week's agenda. I appreciate the offer on the rod, I think I can measure & build off my M.
