Depends upon lots of factors, including how brave (foolish) you are. I've got an M that turns about 2250, and has since the early 60's. If it was gonna hurt it, it would have by now. I always thought it was running about as fast as I wanted to risk, until a neighbor had one that would walk away from mine under load in 2nd gear like it was running in 3rd! His had to be twisting over 2500! The Farmall engines that have been modified for pulling sometimes run pretty fast, but I don't really know how fast. The H motor is pretty rugged; if the parts are in good shape, oil pressure is good, etc., you probably won't hurt it at that speed.
