Had last week off work to use up some outstanding holiday and got quite a lot done on my '44 wide front H, all new bearings in the transmission, and a lot of it rubbed down, nearly ready to start slinging some paint about, anyway, where is the starting handle stowed on the tractor? I cannot find any stowage bracket or clips to hold it, or do you guys make your own stowage brackets for it, thanks in advance, Richard, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Is your lower radiator hose from a 300 / 350 ? If so, how did you get it to fit / where did you get it ? I'd have to cut the flared end off entirely to get the radiator in the right spot, but then it wouldn't fit over the radiator outlet.

I just went to NAPA and bought a flex radiator hose the right length and size to fit both the lower rad and the water pump outlet pipe. The tractor didn't have the regular flattened steel connector on it when I bought it. As I remember it wasn't hard to bend this flex hose to get it on both ends after installing the radiator.

Hi, From the left side of tractor lay it flat behind the pulley housing, in front of gas tank support. My dads 42 H was a war time tractor with no starter and lights, the crank has been stored there for 65 years now and has never fallen out. Good luck, Chuck

I would hang it on back wall of tractor shed if it will not start with starter pull it off I have been around old tractors forever and have seen several broken arms and wrists from tractor kick backs. Crank is good for turning engine over for timing and stting valves but that is all in my opinion.

Sorry mate, this tractor was origanly shipped to England in late 44 and she has no electrics, its hand start only, park at the top of a hill which here on the canterbury plains are as rare as hens teeth, or tow it with a John Deere to start it, which is NOT an option! lol. Just gotta have that handle!

Have you ever seen an engine with a centrifugal spark advance take off and run backwards?

No, there never was a place to stow it. Farmers over the years sometimes found handy places where it would not fall off. I remember when I was a kid dad stowed the crank on our Ferguson stuck through the light bracket on the fender.

The take I get is that he's talking about the hand crank. I don't have/use one, but we stored it under the seat on the M back in the day.
