Just curious. What aftermarket "improvement" parts were available (and who made them) for the H & M? Like the Heisler 9-speed overdrive, the M & W PTO hand clutch, the Behlen power steering. I'm going to tear down my old H for a rebuild this winter, and was thinking of adding some accessories to it if I can find them. Unlike some people, I like the "add-on" stuff, because it gives interest and tells more of a story than just a stock tractor.

I'll bet if any twenty of us made a list, someone would write in with additional items not mentioned. From about 1950 to about 1965, making "improvement" parts for Farmalls was nearly an industry to itself. Companies such as Heisler and M&W certainly made parts for other brands, but along with Behlen, Char-Lynn, and some others, they found the Farmall H and M to be a goldmine because they were so numerous. On some items, even IH got into the act!

This list is NOWHERE near complete:
oversize sleeves and pistons
stroker crankshafts
high-compression pistons
fast-response governors
improved-advance distributor
larger jets for carburetor
dual throat manifold
power steering
anti-kickback steering wheel hub
live hydraulics
"almost-live" pto
3pt hitch
9-speed transmission
different gear ratio gearsets
hand clutch lever for operating foot clutch pedal
various attachments for setting brake latch
various types of throttle levers
extension for clutch linkage to reduce pedal pressure
various levers for actuating pto
variety of seat assemblies
wedge for front bolster to change caster angle
dual wheels - rim and axle mount
umbrellas
steering wheel knobs
over-running pto clutch
various types of wheelweights
wide-front end
hour meter
spin-on/off oil filter
improved gas cap
some differences in muffler size/design
"super-snoot" grill extension for corn picker use
metal sediment bulb
12-volt conversion kits
radio
various types of hitches controlled from the seat

In addition to all of this (and more) farmers were constantly alert to the possibility of swapping parts from a newer SM, 400, or 450 model onto an old M to get a little more productivity from the beast. Similar plan was often applied to an H.
