Brought home a Farmall H

[cjet69]

I towed my "new to me" Farmall H home today. It belonged to my cousin who lives next door to our farm so it was a short trip. Had to make a second trip to get the engine, rad, and other misc. parts. The serial number is 189xxx which looks to be a 1945 model and has an X5 suffix which is a 5000-foot altitude tractor. It has a high compression head with pop-up pistons. I'll work on this project as time and money allow.

Just got done with a frame up on my 1944 H. Time and money are certainly considerations but a finished product is priceless. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

Good looking project. Even came with belt pulley and fenders. Work has gotten in the way of my 44 H project. Good side is the weather has warmed up so I can continue paint work on my JD A, if the humidity stays down. Keep us posted on progress and of course pictures.

Thanks, I'll post as things progress.

We had this HF shelter sitting around so I thought I would use it to park the H in for now. Had to clear a spot for it beside the shop.

Nice Project! Hope they kept all the puzzle pieces.
Sounds like 2cubs needs a rename to 2H+2cubs+Others

I'm sure that some things will be missing, but should be able to get it put back together.

Yes I could use a new screen name. Besides we have 3 cub projects now and over 30 other antique tractors.

Congrats on the H. Mine was also a 1945. Drove mine home...

Looks like a good one at a great price.

Finally got the H towed to the shop and backed in the HF shed. This should be nice keeping it cooler on sunny days and dry on the rainy ones.

Pulled the engine off our IH 350 parts tractor. I need some parts to put the H engine together like the head studs and possibly the governor if its salvageable.

Pulled the studs and governor off of the 350 engine. The governor looks to be in good shape so I should be able to use it.

Picked up the felpro gasket set at NAPA today. Guess its time to free up one of our engine stands and get the H block mounted up for disassembly and cleanup.

Been aiming to ask you your thoughts on the harbor freight shed. Our summer sun is brutal. I have some shade once the sun clears the trees on the west side of the house. Of course then the skeeters make a picnic out of you.

They are pretty light duty. but work fine if you don't get some big winds. It helps a lot to cross brace them with some ratchet straps. Just have to remember these are temporary shelters though some people have gotten many years use out of them. We bought this shed to keep some calves under shelter that were born in the winter a couple years ago.
