Brakes on Farmall H

FarmallBear · Oct 28, 2009

I was told that the Super H has disc brakes and the H has drum brakes. Is this correct? And if so can I tell which rearend has which by just looking at the outside? I bought an H that came with an extra rearend the ole boy said one was disc and the other was drum but he wasn't sure which is which.

As a general rule of thumb, band brakes will be under a sheet metal cover. Discs will have a cast cover.

yes that is correct the super h's have disk and the h has band brakes. they are easy to tell apart the band brakes will have sheet metal covers on them and the disk ones will have a heavy cast outer cover. as for looking at the rear end without the brakes in place the drum brake cover will have around 6 3/8" bolts hold the cover in place. the disk brake will have 5 7/16" bolts holding them in place.

also type in super h disk and h band brake into google image and it should pop up a pic

I have a 46 H with drum and a 51 H with disc. The super H's did not come out until later. So I think the later H's could be either drum or disc.

I have a 1950 H with the Lambert disc brakes. Those are different from the disk brakes of the super H

The last of the Hs produced in 1953 were factory equipped with the same disc brakes as what were installed on the Super Hs.
