Making some progress on the H, over the last 2 years I've installed a Saginaw 3pt, new sleeves, pistons, rings, main bearings, rod bearings, gauges, 12 volt alternator, new front rims, new rear rims and tires, steering post, heavy duty draw bar, front pedestal hitch plate, muffler, brake bands, rebuilt head, Donaldson pre-cleaner, plugs, wires, carb rebuilt kit, front lights, rear lights, switches, buttons, battery cables, 1 gallon starter tank, and fluids. Whenever I work on something I remove the parts sand it down and repaint, the tractor is now sporting more shiny red paint than brown rust.
This weekend I finished up the mud scraper and installed it, as well as the battery box that has been sitting on the tool box for over a year. I can see why farmers removed the battery boxes and replaced them with home made battery trays, the boxes are a pain to install and I had to replace the cables. Yesterday afternoon I finished wire brushing the wheel weights and got them in primer.
I've still got a long way to go but would like to thank everyone for their advice and suggestions to date, I can't imagine taking on a project without this knowledge resource. I'm glad I have had the opportunity to save this piece of history, I've got twice as much as it is worth into it, and I am pretty sure the guy before me was upside down on it with the parts and time he had already put into it. I think it was worth it to both of us to keep it out of the scrap yard.
Next on the list is getting steel fuel tubing to replace the rubber fuel hose and plumbing in the starter tank as a reserve tank.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
