There are 2 1939 Farmall H's for sale on eBay from the same seller.

One is serial number 10179 the other is serial number 10650.

I notice that the newer one does not have the notch in the back of the deck.

Does anyone know if IH switched from the notched deck during 1939 production?

Could it be that because the newer one is the 3rd to last built in 1939 that it got the newer deck?

I think all of the '39s had the notched deck, as well as a few of the very early '40s.

The changed Platform was noted in the offer to sell. I think mid 40 was the break in platform type. Jim

You are correct. I did not read his description thoroughly.

I did not realize that some 1940 H's still had the notch.

Is there any record of when the transition was made?

The last serial # with the notched deck is 15697.

It's kinda odd, the one with the notched platform which is right for a '39 has the wrong PTO shield on it.....The early ones with the 1 1/8 PTO shaft had a short guard because the dog clutch was inside the main housing and the shaft didn't protrude from the rear housing very far, The other tractor with the flat platform has the 1 3/8 inch PTO shaft with the extension housing enclosing the dog clutch and you didn't see this on H's until the middle '42 models. The Monroe type seat is the latest type you didn't see on any early models. The aftermarket early seats had a longer shock behind the spring, not the short one in front like this tractor has. Better check the casting code numbers on this one's rear case and axle housings. Something "just ain't right" here.

Ive seen early Hs with rear wheels spoked like an F-20s. or F 14s. One didnt have a rod to the pulley wheel, but if I remember rightly, it had a longer rod comeing out of the pulley gear box like so that you would have to engage it from the pulley side. It also had the protrusions off the steering post like the F series tractors. Theres more, but its been several years since I saw them 2.

Dads 1940 had the notched deck

A 70+ year old tractor can have LOTS of parts changed.
