Well, I stopped by my Grandpa's house over Christmas for a visit. I'm going to be getting his H that he bought new ('52) this summer. I even have his manual w/ his signiture on the delivery page. I took a few pictures and looked it over real quick while I was there. I'm exited to clean it up this summer and get it going. It's always been covered and the sheetmetal is in great condition. I was in a hurry and didn't try to turn it over, but my dad is confident it will start w/ a pull.
I'm trying to make a list of parts I need to get it fixed up. It's not going to be work tractor. It will be more of a parade/hayride tractor than anything else. I know I need a seat, light switch, maybe throttle (do you like his rigged up friction system?), grill emblem and decals. Can anyone see anything else that I need
I'm told he switched it to 12V, but the battery didn't say 12 or 6 V and I didn't see an alternator. Can anyone tell by looking what kind of electrical system he has on there (I'm new to this)? Is it 12 or 6V? Does it have a generator/alternator/magneto/batt ignition?
Thanks for all the help as I research what I've got ahead this summer! I'll have to post some pictures of his 656 and 1086 too.
