Don't ler ANY ONE tell you what to do. This is a free contry. Pay no attention to people that don't understand where your comming from. This forum is usually pretty dam good and the people here are some of the best you will ever find. But once in a while you will get some one messin with your mind. Don't waist any time thinkg about it.

As to your orignal question..I have my 2 H's and my super H turned up to around 2100-2200 rpm. I never let it run that fsst under no load. Plus I only use the extra R.P.M's for no more then a min or 90 seconds. your engine sounds like it will be fine turning her up a bit. I Turned mine up so i could get a head start on steep hills in road gear. It made a diffrence as my 43 H that is medium compression would not make it up this one hill on my way to dad's farm. After i adjusted the valve lash and turned up the r.p.m.'s she makes her the whole way. I really like the extra speed on my super H. we go on hay rides and if a dog starts chassing ya i can hit 20mph with my super H and no dog i know can go that fast for more then a few seconds. (at leat farm scraps eating dogs that are around here) Good luck. Also mabey find a good used after market govner like a M@W there more snappy and that give the engine a "head start" then make the spring shorter till you get a few hundred extra r's out of her. Also adjust the carb to run MAX power. I have mine turned about a full turn to a turn and a half out from its "starving point" I like to test it going from an idle to wide open as soon as it dosent studder going up giver a full turn extra. Might wanna run a hotter plug I now run autolite's equal to champion d21. Good luck. take her easy and have fun, stay safe.

No more than two to three hundred rpms faster than rated. the flywheel will be the first thing to explode.Not pretty, and also can be deadly.

Pat: If you're already worrying about damaging an engine, you probably don't need to be in tractor pulling. Competition motorsports ain't cheap, no matter what the venue. As they used to say in nascar (the real nascar - the one that doesn't exist anymore): "Money buys speed; How fast do you want to go?"
Otherwise, there is a forum on this site for pulling. You may want to go over there and ask. There is a guy over there named Chad who knows a lot about Farmall pullers. Good luck.

what a great question .Lets take a fine vintage tractor like a farmall h with almost 50 years of history behind it and ruin it for the sake of a tractor pull.I really hope someone takes better care of you in your golden years than you are of this tractor

Thankfully this forum contains more reasonable people than kooks, and threads like this rarely degrade into flame wars, but this would be how they start.

When someone gives you advice or a response that you don't like, take the high road. Ignore it.

I agree, don g. And yet, it's his tractor to do with what he pleases. Won't be the first old "survivor" vehicle someone ruined in their youthful enthusiasm. mike

pat just in case u didnt see my other reply i really do want to say sorry for my lack of taste in sending that first reply.I was totally wrong in what i said and will freely admit it.Hope u can forgive a guy who made a mistake.If u werent taking care of your tractor u wuoldnt have asked your qiestion in the first place.I might add one thing tho,if u do increase your rpm and do pto work you may run into a safety problem with the bush hog altho not being a math major i have no idea how much faster your pto will go with increased engine rpm and operating your mower at full engine speed.

really now, wouldn't this all depend on the shape/condition of the engine?
