As Kirk indicates 1945 The H in the number is probably an F.
We are here for you. Let us help. there is nothing short of a barn fire that melts iron that can keep one from being operational. This is a can do place!! JimN
 
thanks a bunch. i'm gonna need some questions answered for sure. like are part fairly easy to find such as an intake manifold?
 
Intakes are available. Little "New Old Stock" (NOS) are to be found. Meaning new parts still in the box that were never sold but are from the era of the part being sold and stocked at the dealer.
There are used manifolds that are good (Ebay and possible finds on this sites ad section) There are also new castings made across the pond to the west.
These can be perfect, but many have had to machine new flat surfaces, and rat tail file the mount holes to get them to fit. Good luck and stay tuned! Jim
 
We've got a local place that I've found my replacement parts. Lube up the bolts that hold it on good and let it sit for a few days before attempting to remove the manifold. It will make your work a whole lot easier
 
If you can't locate a NOS or a good salvage manifold a Vinson is a good brand. I have them on my M and Super C. When I got mine they were made in the USA but don't know if they have since gone across the pond to China. Parts for your M will be very easy to find for an antique tractor. Might try Justin Weber at www.weberstractorworks.com for NOS parts as he only deals in IH NOS parts. There are other folks as well but Justin is very well known. Also subscribe to Red Power Magazine as it is filled with vendors and articles on IH tractors. Your state probably has an IHC Collectors Chapter which you might consider joining as you would have access to a lot of folks with common interests. Hope this helps in your intro to the wonderful world of IH tractors and collectors. If you need additional contact info for part sources or such my email is open, hope this helps, Hal.
