Had an 1941 M follow me home a month or so ago, price was right :D . Got it running today, rebuilt the carb, new plugs, wire, starter, and valve cover gasket. Still have a slight skip and a few hyd. leaks to fix and straighten up the line routing. The steering was froze up , got it freed up quite a bit but the thrust bearing in the fron bolster must be bad so that'll be a project for warmer weather...... it's got 3 point and power steering so it should be a handy workhorse to have around...

That's such a nice peace to start with. Looks clean and cosmetically in great shape. I'd love to hear it. My dad had an H and up until about 1964 or 1965 it ran everyday. If nothing else on the place was running the old H would fire up first time. There was one night when a bunch of us kids had planned a ,,, well,, party of our peers with a little of the stuff my dad and a couple of other dads used to make behind the barn and Mr. Bill made a pretty good beer and Danny his son volunteered a half keg and I was in charge of transportation. Well a couple of days before the party I had earned the right NOT to use the pickup so as a teenaged boy will do when there are girls involved, my imagination had to go to work. So the party became a hayride and the old H was the guest of honor. Everyone thought I was a real great party planner not realizing that necessity is the mother of invention. I don't ever remember it in the shop for other than service and when dad traded it for a new Massey Ferguson 135 somewhere around 1964 or 65 I actually got teary eyed. Yes memories are wonderful things and it's funny how many an old tractor can bring back. I love your project. Happy New Year. LarryT
