I don't post here, mostly because I just display my colossal ignorance about Farmalls ;-> But I've stumbled into an opportunity to purchase a '49 H w/ mounted sickle mower and (homebuilt?) loader... Here is the tractor I'm looking at...  The good: Starts easily, fresh carb rebuild, easily shifts into all gears, each brake will lock its respective tire, no smoke, notched throttle plate like new, front tires & 1 rear tire are like new.
The not-so-good: Heavy wear on the knife bar, lots of oil/grease leaks, hydraulics only lift the loader ~6", exposed ram ends are rusty (mostly surface rust), lights missing, no 3-point. Where is the hydraulic reservoir? (I suspect the hydraulic oil may be low). At low RPM's, activating the (belly?) pump causes the engine to "slightly" load, but doesn't cause any other noticeable activity What else is required to add a functional belt pulley? Just the pulley? Or....? 
And any idea what model of sickle mower?
 So is this a reasonable buy at a little under $1k? (I'm in SW Idaho, if that makes any difference). Thanks, Nathaniel
