Hello all! It has been a while since I have been on the forum BUT will be on much more now that I have a new project. Bought this entire unit out of an old barn, sat there over 20 years. New gas, points, etc. and some air in the tires and had it running. Purrs like a kitten. Can any of you supply me with any info? It has a second smaller tank on it for fuel. I don't know much about it. Serial number is 110073

The second is for fuel gas really the bigger tank was for kerozine or distillate.

What a great find! Reminds me of my grandfather's H and mower in Vt that I was mowing with in the mid '50. I think the mower is a 25V model.

Buy an owners manual, it has all the info you need.
Binder Books has all the books you need and then some more besides.
Model 27 mower?
Dad & I had this very same outfit; I cut many, many acres with it.

Can any one tell me about the mower to? I purchased it from a lady who said her dad bought it new with steel wheels. She said the wheels were up against the barn but disappeared years ago. the front wheels were cut to fit rims and then welded. she used it to custom cut peas in the area. there is a "windrower attachment for it too.
Looks like a very nice find. Tractor has fenders too which is a huge plus and adds some $ value.
You will like that tractor. I have a worn well used h myself and I certainly like using it. The H is fun tractor to use and it is actually pretty darned fuel efficient to boot - a real miser on fuel for the technology being used here.
Assuming stock: Most of the 2 tank models were Distillate fuel. There were some 2 fuel tank models that were Kerosene fuel. The Kerosene models are even lower compression than the distillate models and slightly less hp than the distillate model as well. Just run gas in it though today.
I would be interested in seeing some pics of that windrower attachment.....

Looks like you scored a really nice old H and mower. In the one photo it looks to still have the shutters and linkage for operating on distillate. Even has a belt pulley. Appears to be well cared for.
The mower looks like a 27V. Manuals available from Binder Books and other sources.

They're used to keep the engine temp in the "operating range" on the gauge so as to be able to run on distillate. You warmed up on gasoline from the small tank and then once warmed, switched over to distillate (or kerosene). The critical part was the intake manifold. The exhaust part encircled the intake tube and kept it very hot so as the vaporize the oily fuel. A gasoline manifold has a shared wall between exhaust and intake to provide some heating and an LP manifold has no contact between the two.
Distillate was made from leftover refinery products from when crude oil was distilled rather than cracked. A barrel of crude would yield a certain percentage each of gasoline, diesel, lube oil, naptha, tar etc. When the War got going we really needed to be able to turn a barrel of oil into a barrel of gasoline, so they pushed catalytic cracking technology and did just that.
John Deere's version is called "All-Fuel" and basically the same idea. In the UK the fuel was called TVO for "Tractor Vaporizing Oil"

By the serial number the tractor most likely would have been built with steel wheels due to the war effort causing rubber shortages. I own serial #100,xxx which my grandfather bought new on rubber in the spring of 1942. I think it is one of the last built on rubber after WWII started.

Interesting tractor....among other things see it has a pan
guard to protect the oil pan from being dented by the model
221 cultivator gang assembly's.. You don't see that very often.
