Well, I bought another F30, this one a narrow tread with road gear. I has an suffix I am not familiar with HAN . I know the N is for narrow tread. What is the HA for?

Thanks. I can't find my book, otherwise I would have looked it up. I will also check the block stamping as well. This is the first tractor I have bought that I don't have much to do to it. My project list is so darn long, that I welcome one that just needs gas once in awhile!

That is a nice tractor. Do you mind me asking what the weight limit is on that trailer? I had an "incident" recently with a rental and was just wondering. The ramps look HD but then the the ramps on my Big Tex 6K are like that too.

Dave, the licensed GVW on it is 7000 lbs. I went through a black cat scale, and the trailer is 7240 as pictured. So, real close.
I have 2 F-30HAN's and have had a third one in the past, heres the skinny on them
HA does mean 'high altitude' as pointed out by a couple otheres. what this means is the tractor was either ordered or sent to a specific area where you need domed pistons to compensate for altitude. Two of my 3 came from Idaho, and the third from colorado. This is where i have found most of them.
The engine will be stamped with a serial number followed by the letters HA and either a 5 or an 8. this number tells you the 'altitude' for the pistons. 5 being 5000 feet and 8 being 8000 feet. bigger the number the bigger the dome on the piston
Every one i have seen have been stamped on the tag AND the framerail and a stamp on the engine block
IHC did NOT offer a different head for these critters, just domed pistons.
They made F-20HAN's as well but ive seen fewer of them than F-30's
hopefully i explained it good enough

Since the stamp " HAN" on both is of a slightly differing size that the rest, (little bigger) could this be a dealer installed item ??
If it was done on the assembly line wouldn't the stamp sizes match closer ?? Just curious, I know it's hard to tell after all these years, but the few F20's I have seen that were Narrow or Wide the letters stamped matched the numbers stamped much closer on the frame rail.
