3:55 Replicating the pump seal. To me , stuff like that is the most fun of a resto. People would be shocked at the amount of time put in to just doing that one thing. Everything from the research about it , to making or finding tools to recreate it has to be included in the labor hours spent. I'll throw 40 hours out there as a guess. Hours is a loose term , especially if it's a relaxed situation and ya have a brew or 2 (not too many , you'll smudge the paint )

79 looking better than new brings back memories MERRY CHRISTMAS

Beautiful, You did your Uncle right. Good Work!!

Me too, I have my grandpa's 1946 H he bought new.

Just a great video. I could listen to this guy all day.

We had John Deeres but our nearest neighbor had an H and a Super M, I believe and they seemed very reliable.....even if they sounded fully!

I can see why you love it. Great machine!

Nice "H", nice video, and it's always great to see a tractor stay in the family!

LEARNED TO DRIVE ON AN H I WAS 6. PULLED A RAKE AND A NEW HOLLAND BAILER. NEW YORK STATE.

Awesome I love plain Jane tractors

That is a nice neat unit.

It has a couple options, the rear fenders were an option as was the wide front axle. Farmall H on steels is quite rare and one with a wide front axle is very rare. Most steel wheel tractors were converted over to rubber in the 1950s.

Sweet

Great video

nice

beautiful tractor

Mint with a chrome exhaust

There's no mistaking the sound of a Farmall firing up (especially a H model)......

Very interesting. I've never seen an H with steel wheels.

Perfect!

I had an H that I thought was a 39 now that I have seen this one l believe mine must have been newer.

Neat tractor but not one to do your Sunday drive with.

Did I see a distillate manifold at 5:34? I did not see the second sediment bowl for the gasoline tank though. We tend to think of them backwards (except the tractor nerds. I love tractor nerds.). The little tank was the gasoline tank for starting and the big tank was for distillate. The distillate manifold had a flapper/butterfly in it. As I understand it, you set the flapper to start and hold heat in the manifold until the engine was warm enough to burn the distillate. Then switch tanks and open the flapper. When gasoline became plentiful and cheap distillate went away. The flappers rusted in place - open, and the manifold removed at an overhaul of the engine. Please correct me.

Yes, you did see a kerosene or distillate manifold & are correct about the operation. Worked the same for both low grade fuels. Didn't look like the starting tank was connected. Those tractors did not come with the sediment bowl on the main tank. Just a valve. I have a '39 distillate & a '40 kerosene burner that are relatively original. Neither of them have a sediment bowl on the main tank. Just the starting tank. There's also a decal on the side of the main tank that says to "Always close needle valves before switching from one fuel to another. When both valves are open at one time the fuels will mix. This makes it impossible to start". I'd like to ad: the wide front, swinging drawbar, muffler & fenders were options through IH. The umbrella was a dealership accessory. They may have been around in the time of the early H's. I've seen some on the early galvanized IHC combines, so it's possible. The steering dampener was aftermarket & I'm not sure if they were available in '40 or not. I do recall seeing one on a Farmall 300 on steel at a show. The seal on the governor is a nice touch, but that "man on a tractor" logo wasn't used until after '45. Think there was a seal on the front cover & oil pan (?) also. Still quite amazing that it lasted this long without the electrical & pneumatic upgrades. Very neat!!

@@ikonseesmrno7300 My dad's M had that steering dampener. The owner says it was a gear reduction steering wheel. Ours was a dampener. It had a yoke and a pipe that went down to attach to the control pedestal. I caught the distillate manifold also and looked for the second tank filler cap. Was that starting tank inside the tank like the F series or was it a separate tank? I also caught all the items missing.

@@1crazynordlander Yep, I missed the gear reduction part in his description. That's a neat setup. If you look at about 1:22, in the video, you can see the cap for the starter tank in front of the temp gauge. It was a separate tank, held not quite a gallon.

I need that brake pedal lock helper.

Looks comfty would use it for fast food drive through

There is one like it in a junkyard in lancaster NH

In michigan it was a law to have fenders on a tractor.

It's sad to see so much Classic Tractor Fever. It's a debilitating disease that can effect anybody from 0-1000 years old. No known cure. My father has suffered from CTF off and on for years. some times he seems okay then he sees an old international or deere and he slips into remission. It's a cruel disease

At the end when he opens it it its has a light miss to it ..

No filling those tires with water !

Why modern tractors dont come with steel wheels?

My dads Farmall M has been in the family sence it was new and it is tuff. It has tiped over twice, broken in half and roled over completely upside down and it works to this day. Can anybody name a tractor that is being perduced today that can survive that and still keep going?

I help an old guy in town do his hay in the summer, he has a 57 Farmall 350 they bought when it was less than a year old, It’s been rolled a time or two, had a rod put through the block after one of those rollovers when his brother tipped it back up and kept running it after the oil leaked out, so now it’s got a block from a 300, a different steering wheel, and the hydraulic lever welded back on. Still running to this day. And my dad’s 1954 Farmall 200 was broke in half by his cousin, who was pulling a manure spreader with it, it stalled on a hill, rolled back down and jackknifed it. Luckily it had a loader on it so it didn’t completely bust in half. That ones still around too.

@@justinstearns9723 great stories! I love hearing good old farm storyes and tractors like these have careiter and memoirs. My dads M tiped over because it has a narrow front end with a loader on it and it tiped all three times on side hills. The time it went upside down was when it was loading munaor and the pile was also on a side hill.

A tractor an Amish man might own...maybe not.
