I have a 1941 Farmall H with a four cylinder moter in it ( I think it's the orginal ). I hear people saying. I have so many horse power and so many on the draw bar. How can you tell?

Van, We have some ground here in Mid-Michigan which is perfect for determining HP. If your H can pull a 3-16 plow through this clay, you probably have a 50 hp tractor. If 2-16 is the best your H will do, then you have 35 hp. If you have to settle for a 2-14 plow, then you have a good original HP H with about 24 to 26 HP. Seriously, your H was rated at 25 hp + or - one hp or so. through the years, folks have been known to install larger pistons, M&W kits which boost the HP. The Farmall M had 34 HP, and the W9 was 48 hp, and needed all of it to pull that 3-16 plow in this clay.

Find a dealership that has a dynomometer, hook it up to the PTO and check it out. When I was a kid helping out at the IH dealership we would hook up the tractors after an overhaul to show the customer how well the engine performed. It would usually fall real close or just under what the spec was. If you loaded the engine to just under the working rpm it would show high.

Nebraska Test # 333 H gasoline, 26.20 hp max belt, 24.17 hp max drawbar, max pull 3603 lbs @ 2.06 mph, (corrected to sea level standard conditions, 27.90 hp max belt, 25.50 hp max drawbar). All tractor models were tested by the University of Nebraska so all brands would be tested for performance under regulated conditions so all would be rated on same basis.

most people use the manufacturers rating or the Nebraska test data or exagerate in some form. They have a machine that will test horsepower but I don't have much faith in them. You hear all kinds of fantastic stories.
