I went to the antique tractor auction near Farmersburg, In. Saturday, and bought my second 1941 H Farmall. The serial # is 72996, so I guess that is July 41, same month I was hatched.
Most of the castings are dated around 2nd & 3rd week of June, so sounds about right. The owner said it was running when he bought it, and he parked it in the shed for a couple of years. It was stuck when he tried to get it running for the auction, and he didn't know why. I found out when I got it home yesterday....four gallons of oil & anti-freeze in the crankcase. Took the head off today, and # 3 sleeve is pushed through the side of the waterjacket. All the cylinders had rusted from water that leaked through the wrinkled up pop can that covered the manifold pipe. #3 sleeve had a 1 1/2" wide by 3" long window in the side. Amazing what a little water can do. The rest of the H is in very good shape, Sheet metal is very straight, and everything is origional except the steering wheel. The head looks ok (except for a couple of rusted ex. valves, and I don't think the water got that high.) Even got a really good radiator shutter. Haven't seen one in years. The other H I have is Serial #6621X1,, and it's kinda rough around the edges but it runs good. Looks like it's transplant time. You F-20 fans missed a good auction. I think there were eleven of them there. One was very good un-restored, and a couple of the others were good also. Eight or nine parts tractors, all with wheels, and some even with air in the tires, went for fifty to seventy-five bucks each. One with electric starter bell-housing (but not the starter) wnnt for a hundred and a quarter. Some restored Green tractors went for less than the paint jobs cost, but a rusted, beat-up AV went for $1700. You never know what to expect at a auction. Ken

sounds like you can make one from two and have pieces left over. I'll see what I can get bought today.
