shifting pattern for H

Mel Hurrelbrink · Nov 4, 2013

I just got a Farmall H and have never used one before was wondering what the shifting pattern is.

R-2-4 when the lever is moved ahead (up), 1-3-5 when moved back (down).

Every Farmall I had, had the shifting pattern molded right into the cast iron transmission cover.

Top left = reverse
Bottom left = 1
Top middle = 2
Bottom middle = 3
Top right = 4
Bottom right = 5

Barring that, you can just pick a gear and slip the clutch a little to see what direction it goes, then slip a little more to make sure it's not a crazy-fast road gear, then let it out and see how fast it goes. I.e....

If the tractor goes backward, you found reverse.

Thats not the pattern for the H so why would you post when you sure dont know.

He is right about every H I have had.

the shifting pattern has been the same on most models of these tractors from 1939-1963. ihc has used the kiss system ,... keep it simple stupid.

Wayne has it right...every H is that way. I can attest to the fact that he would know more about the Farmall H than most anyone...he taught me all I know about them. he is my dad.

Actually it went longer than 1963 with the 656, 666, and 686 tractors.
