Eric, NW Iown...

Does your H have disc brakes? Some later H's had Super H style disc brakes, They had belly pump hydraulics like the Stage I Supers, but didn't have Super H heads.

I think some donkey engines that were the same thing as H's had dipsticks from the factory. Seems like I've seen one on a combine or something that was an H engine w/dipstick, too. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Thank you guys,

Jal - I get up to Mitchell every month or two as I travel all of SD in my work at an HVAC controls firm (and because there's a Cabela's there).

For everybody - what would be the 'final word' on determining the true identity of my tractor?

Here's the details:
Serial number is available - if paint is removed, not sure about the prefix.
Previous owner told me it was a superH - not sure if he was the owner since new.
Has disc brakes.
Has battery box under the gas tank.
Has the IH logo on the hood/grille.
choke and starter are both pull rings below the electical box.
No live hydraulics.

I have only one pic at this time - if I take more pics - what angles will be best?

Thanks a million
Eric

I think that an H with a dipstick has had it's block replaced with a later version block.
