Glenn, I don't know about the question on M's, but I have a copy of the forms that IH dealers filled out when they ordered a new H or HV tractor. I was given this by the Wisconsin Historical Society. The date of this form is March 20, 1950. (I hope all this info emails line-by-line like I typed it without getting it all jumbled up.) You will notice that only 38" rears are listed for the H, and 36" rears are listed for the HV. Remember this is a 1950 order form; 36" on an H might have been avail. in earlier years, I just don't know. First page of order form lists accordingly: FARMALL H TRACTOR Regular Equipment: 4-cyl gas engine, Verticle adjustable draw bar, Adj rear wheel tread 44-80", Upholstered Seat (Jute), Differential steering brakes (Foot operated), 5 Speed Transmission, Governor, Non-adjustable front wheels, Heat indicator, Battery ignition, starter and lights. 5.50-16" 4-ply front tires and 11-38" 4-ply rear tires (all list prices) $1514.50 For 10-38 4-ply rear deduct 26.00 For 10-38 6-ply deduct 5.00 For 11-38 6-ply add 25.00 For 12-38 6-ply add 51.00 For 6.50-16" 6-ply single front In Lieu of reg.front wheels No charge For 6.00-16 4-ply front tires add 3.50 FARMALL HV 6.00-20" 6-ply front and 9.00-36 and 6-ply Cane Field Rear Tires $2083.20 For 12-36 6-Ply Cane Field Tires add 42.00 For 13-36 6-Ply Cane Field Tires add 72.00 Optional Equipment Belt Pulley 45.50 Swinging Drawbar 5.50 Fenders per pair 15.75 Lift-All 56.00 Exhaust Extension 2.75 Muffler 3.75 PTO 30.25 Hydraulic Seat (Foam type) 20.00 Front Weights per pair 7.75 First Rear Weights per pair 28.25 Second " " per pair 28.25 Third " " " " 28.26 (If this info comes to YT all mixed up, send me an email.
