Here are all the posts to your entry: Richard C Posted 09-24-2002 at 12:02:41 [Reply] [No Email] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I don't know exactly how many Distillate model tractors they made but in all there were something close to 300,000 H's made. Don't let this get you down that its not real rare. Remember you have a 60 year old machine. That runs. How many everyday people can say that? Have a good day and have fun with your tractor. Richard Ira Posted 09-24-2002 at 10:35:37 [Reply] [No Email] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Grandfather had a Farmall H with that set up. He told me during the war when they had ration stamps you had so much tractor fuel, and gas stamps. You start out by starting the tractor with the Rad.shutters closed,exhast manifold in gas postion main tank off, little tank on. Once your temp. is up. Shut off little tank open big tank,switch exhast manifold to run position,open sutters to maintain warm temp. He used that tractor for a threasher and stationary baler.

I also know of about 10 more dual-fuel models in the area. Low compression for kerosene and distillate. Not much power when you rebuild them even with step head pistons. Steven Glenn(WV) Posted 09-23-2002 at 20:07:57 [Reply] [No Email] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It sounds like an H that the factory set up to run on distillate, aka "tractor fuel." The small tank holds gasoline to start the engine, and then it was switched over to the main tank. Does it have radiator shutters? Serial number 150338 is a very early 1944 model.
farmall h Posted 09-23-2002 at 19:48:15 [Reply] [No Email] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- it is a low compression engine. they made a bunch of them, mostly early on and the later ones were mostly down south
