h countershaft

• whatheH

Reason I'm asking, is that I just happen to have a 1953 H that I'm parting out, and all thats left is the block, lift-all housing, rear-end with axle's, and the cast rear wheels.

And that rear end has all the gears, etc, still in it. If you're not too far away, mayhaps we might talk.

Another thought too: I also own a 1940 H, and it's PTO shaft is a dogtooth...it doesn't use the same engagement end as all other H's after '40. Regardless of what you do, you'll probably need a new PTO shaft too (that dogtooth was a weak point on early H's: ya gotta be careful when you engage it).

If you decide you'd like to change the gears (and PTO: I have the heavier shaft from the '53 also), let me know: my e-mail should be attached to my board name, and I also use notification if you reply to this message.

Hopefully you have some time...I would need to remove the deck and pull the gears you want. Chassis is going to the scrapper, but not until the weather gets better.

Just another option if you like.

Don't overlook that the low-low package has three gears plus a countershaft with integral gear. Check parts book if in doubt about what goes with each setup.

This is copied from the CNH on-line parts book. The list looks alot more complicated than my H parts book. However, I can't compare the two references because my H book is on loan.

I don't understand why they include the 3rd and 4th gear. Only 1st and 2nd are affected. This is due to the fact the regular 1st gear is a cluster gear (two gears -1st and 2nd- on one chunk of metal). The low-low second driving gear is a single gear.
