: Brant,
: As Tom said the tractor is a 49 H, and as far as the other markings that you described:
: 8024 DE, and 8276 DE are part numbers for the pieces which they came
: The X1 indicates that you have a gasoline engine
: and the 7 29 S breaks down as follows, the part was cast on July (7) 29th (29) of 1949 (S). The use of these letters for year indication started in 1931 with the letter A.
: Good luck with your H,

Had to go through the same process. I know how you feel. I found out that I have a 49' H also. Just finished restoring it.
