Remember the Farmall h does NOT have valve seals as stock from the factory. That said, some people do add umbrella valve seals upon a rebuild/recondition.
Due to not having valve seals: a tad bit of oil smoke is normal on certain occasions (i.e. like initial start up and rapid throttle chopping) and is usually nothing to worry about unless it is constant and never quits.
I would not be worried about your engine at 125 PSI across the board. Run it. My guess is everything is in good enough shape and probably only a bit lower than your hoped for ideal range that you were hoping to see (although I think 150 lbs is not realistic). The probable reason that you are lower than the 135-140 lbs that others with firecraters sometimes see is you likely have either the distillate head or worse yet the even lower compression kerosene head instead of the gasoline head which would result in the highest compression with firecraters (baring machine work like milling the head). Or you might have a tad bit of wear. Regardless I would be tickled at an even 125 lbs across the board and simply enjoy that tractor.
