39 H

Drove back up to see 'wh' today. Bought this awesome '39 H. I really was confused, it drove on to the trailer!!!
I ran it up and down my road a couple miles this evening, sweet tractor! Also got a tour of his beautiful farm. And suckered him in to doing some welding for me! Lol. Pto shaft on my Cub fast hitch mower was only tack welded on each end, he ran a couple beads around it. And last week I broke one of my Ford row crop sway bars, it's now fixed and reinforced! Really appreciate that! If y'all ever get near Cullman, Al stop and visit wh..... It's a great time

An H is one of the first tractors I bought in Highschool. Great tractors

Great visit! Have you slung any grass seed out yet? Forgot to tell you, the welding is warrantied as long as the sun shines, the water flows, or until you use it!

Hey Kevin that H is far too nice for you to have bought that way, tell us the truth, you fixed it and painted it first, right? Just kidding, that thing is in beautiful shape, enjoy it.

Beauty!!!! Jim

That '39 H looks a whole lot like the '39 H Dad traded on my '54 Super H sitting out in my shop. BUT OUR old '39 H had a white grill.
It ran O-K, was a low compression distillate head tractor, don't think it would have pulled the Deere 490 corn planter, Dad always planted with the '51 M back then, but first day the '54 Super H was on the farm it got hooked to the planter.
Our old '39 H had lots of wear lots of places, gear shift lever got out of the shift rails about once a month, kept a punch & hammer in the tool box to remove the shift lever and line up the rails in nuetral as needed. The belly pump had been modified to the 850 psi but it still struggled to lift really big loads of oats & corn, never mind getting them up to the crib. The Super H flew right up the hills to the crib even with huge loads in our new 150 bushel Oliver/Electric Wheel wagon with 2 feet of sideboards. One day it was a little greasy-muddy and I wasn't sure the SH was going to pull all the hills but it dug in and did it!
It's not hard to understand why IH sold 400,000 H's between '39 and '52 when you run one a bit. Our '39 H was narrow enough to fit down the narrow aisle of our hog house to haul the load or two of manure every years, rear wheels dished in and axles cut off, Dad bought a JD '40 B to pull the spreader for those 2-3 loads a year. I tried hauling manure a time or two, it was slow and crude, even less power and Traction than the '39 H, no radio possible on the B, Armstrong start, no generator & battery. It finally sat for years at a time and never ran. It may have been better than a team of horses but I really think I would have taken the Horses over the B. And the H by far over the horses.

x2!!!!!

That is another beautiful tractor !!!!! I left you a post below!!!

Growing up on Dairy, I spent a lot of seat time on an H.
Our H had a loader and Armstrong power steering.

Nice tractor first year for H .I have a 41 H,now you're cubs have a big brother.

Grandpa on a side note.Did you ever get into the free gas caps?They might have of had to throw you out of program.LOL

wh, I tell folks that my work is guaranteed 30 years or 3 miles, whichever comes first.

Another nice addition to your fleet!

my welding has a 5/50 warranty- 5 minutes or 50 feet out the door.

Good looking ole girl. RB

What he means is: the warranty is to the door, but not through the door!

You should have made a picture of its brother. That other 39 H here is just as nice. Casting codes has it made in October and yours was made in nov of 39.

wh, do you still have a centaur tractor?

No. I never had one of them. Always had red.

We have received 25+ free gas caps!
