Beware of buying a "wannabe," because many farmers would upgrade their Hs with the overbore kit and have them repainted, then they'd put "Super H" decals on them. If the tractor has band brakes, the brake drums will be a smooth stamped steel "pan." The disk brake covers are heavy castings with six bolts holding them on. Band brakes means it's a plain H. Disk brakes means that it's either one of the last 2000 Hs (rare) or a Super H. Without the serial number, the brakes are the only obvious way to tell the difference between an H and a Stage I Super H. If it's a Stage II, it probably will have the live pump between the distributor and engine. It will probably have a hydraulic reservoir under the gas tank. The battery will be in a box under the seat. Another possible verification is to look at the engine casting. There will be a C169 cast into the block on a Super H engine. All this guarantees is that you have a Super H engine. Someone could have played swap-a-roo with rear ends, or replaced the H's original engine.
