Owen Aaland said: (quoted from post at 05:04:58 05/07/09) Besides the PTO and lower transmission shaft and cast iron shift knob, you will probably find different radiators and caps, different front hood to accommodate the different radiator, different front hood mounting bolts. Frame rails are different. Early Hs used rubber front engine mounts with a closer bolt spacing in the rails. Belt pulley operating lever and rod were changed. Early rear housings had a hump on each side running forward from the brake pedal shaft. Brake drums were keyed to the bull pinions rather than splined like later models.
Other differences between our '40 and '43 that may not have been normal were that the '40 has a plastic covered steering wheel while the '43 had a hard rubber type coating. The '40 may have been changed in 1951 when my dad bought it. The '43 also had a plate on the side of the engine covering a hole where a fuel pump could be installed. This was probably a war time abnormality.
The '39 F20 and F30, '39 and early '40 Hs and Ms did have a different steering wheel, but it was rubber covered. Even the center hub and spokes were rubber covered.
The plate covering a hole for a fuel pump indicates that engine started life as a stationary power unit, probably to run an irrigation pump or similar.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
