Hi I have a 1946 H that I want to put rear wheel weights on. How many is a good idea for some plowing and other odds and ends? I have 6 solid weights and and I think 12 half weights. So I have plenty I think. What size bolt is good? How long? Also how much horsepower do you need to run a square baler? We have a john deere 14t baler. Are the hand clutches hard to find? What bale equipment can I use with my H? Thanks a lot.

My H has three weights on each tire and it does not lack for traction. There are two full weights on the outside and a set of half weights on the inside. There are four long bolts running through all of them. People will tell you putting more than two wheel weights is hard on the axles but I know a lot of people who run two sets of weights plus fluid. If you don't have a swinging drawbar that hooks up under the tractor I would get one. That extra traction will make your front end a little light. The hitches are fairly cheap to buy and easy to make. There sould be a picture of one in your book. We have bailed hay with our H but its not the ideal tractor for the job, in heavy windrows first gear is too fast and you can't slip the clutch. The only thing you can do is pull the gearsift into neutral let the hay feed in and touch the clutch pedal and jam it back into gear real quick while the bailer is still turning. If you could find a hand clutch that would definatly be the way to go.

The weights are about 145 lbs each so if you put two on each side that is a lot of weight. They are 3/4" x 3 3/4" square head bolts. Square heads keep them from turning in the square bolt holes. You can use hex heads and jam a pry bar in there to keep them from turning. The first set gets bolted onto the rim with the nuts on the inside of the rim. If you align the inside weight correctly so that the oblong center hole aligns so that you can access the axle hub bolts then you are able to use the outer ring of bolt holes to put on the second weight. Or you can just use some long redi-rods and bolt them on together. The parts manual shows the same bolts for both the first and second weight. Two bolts per weight is sufficient to hold them on. I like the looks of them with all four bolts. Just personal preference.

An H will handle a baler. You don't have live PTO so it makes it a little tricker keeping the baler running along with forward movement. Used an H on a baler as a kid. Most of the time we used a Case 300 with live PTO and a hand clutch. Much better setup. Don't recommend using the H in really hilly ground with the baler unless you have a lot of experience on tractors. The H will handle a sickle mower, rake, baler, or the flat rack to haul them on. As I said earlier the lack of live PTO makes mowing and baling a little more challenging.
