Can someone post pictures of a Nine Speed set up on a farmall H?

Are there different versions of Nine-Speed setups on these tractors?

Any and all information would be great!

Thanks for everything!
From Denton, Nebraska.

M&W had one also Heisler. One hesd a cable to enguage the other used a lever on the left side. They both have a nice speed between 4th and 5th Not made for pulling heavy load.
 
I am now working on a M that has a 9 speed with a cable. So,which one used the cable shift? Thanks
 
I have 1943 H with 9 speed I use it on the hay rake. Put it in 1st high and go about one third throttle it's just the right speed to fluff hay and only uses half the fuel the other H uses in fourth gear throttle at 3/4. Mine has the shaft through the side.
 
Think M&W went through some evolution over the years made. Except for a early shift type, the cable shift and lever and rod shift type are mostly the same on the inside of transmission. How the inside shifting sleeve lever is made on the end is the difference. 2 types of shift cable retainers were used where the cable entered the transmission. One passed through a special dowel pin for clutch housing to transmission. Other used a special hollow clutch housing retaining bolt that cable passed through.
M&W that used a shaft and shift lever had the lever on the right side. Also most if not all have the M&W name on the lever.
Hiesler used shift linkage on the left side of tractor and some gear ratios were a little different from M&W. Similar transmissions with different gear ratios used different kits. M&W 9 speeds for low low first gear transmissions as a example. Don't have a picture handy.
 
I have both a Farmall H and M with 9 speeds and both are Heisler's. The Heisler shift mechanism enters the transmission on the left (clutch pedal) side. I have not paid much serious attention to the M&W 9 speeds but all of those I've seen have a cable control like on a lawnmower throttle going into the transmission between a couple of cast parts on the right (brake pedal side). I also, believe M&W later made a solid linkage variety but have never seen one. When looking at the two types of 9 speeds I've seen, the Heisler is something that looks like it could have been produced in a factory plant with the cast and machined linkages while the M&W which probably is just as functional looks a little like a make it from what you have available around here. I wish I could post photo's but my camera ability is limited to cameras like the Kodak Brownie I had in high school 50 years ago and being a slide rule person those required PC skills are not the best either. Hope this helps as that 9 speed availability is very nice and a very special feature adding value to your H or M, Hal.
 
Andrew, I should have mentioned that a Heisler 9 speed on a Farmall H will be a very rare tractor as they didn't seem to be installed on the H's like in the numbers they were on a M. I searched for five years for a nice H with a Heisler and maybe only heard of or saw about 3 during that time, Hal.
 
You would really like those speed ranges. When I bought my Farmall M in 2004 I located a couple nicely restored ones in central Iowa one with the Heisler 9 speed and an original one. I was on that "had to be original kick" and after driving both the M with the Heisler 9 speed it was by far the selected tractor because of the speed variability. About five minutes of driving that tractor made a believer of me. I recall my uncle who farmed corn in the Iowa River bottoms when I was young near Marengo had a M with a 9-speed (don't know which make) and I remember how we went down the road in high fourth with full wagon loads to the grain storage buildings with a lot of power and torque as fifth was too much of a stretch for the tractor with full loads, Hal.
 
One pic.

This is a tractor in the process of fix up with some modifacations. M&W shift lever on the side of the transmission is a M&W setup. M&W regular shift rod didn't endup where I would like it to and in the way of some planed changes. So I came up with my own shift linkage after the lever.
