As far as implements goes, old Farmalls (Hs & Ms) originally came with either no hitch (just a fixed or swinging) drawbar, or the 2-point Farmall fast-hitch. Either the H or the M can be easily converted to a modern 3-point hitch. The best is the Saginaw 3-point hitch conversion (about $650 new). With the 3-point hitch, you can run just about any modern 3-point implement, including 3-point plows. The only thing the H is lacking there is draft control. I don't know much about the M, but the H originally came with only a clutch driven hydraulic pump. The Super-H was available with live hydraulics. If you need live hydraulics for an H, conversion kits were once made by a company called M&W (M&W still exists, but no longer makes the kits). I have a 1950 H with the M&W live hydraulics with 2-way control, and a 3-point hitch conversion. I use it regularly to maintain our little 25 acre farm, and it is a FANTASTIC machine. I use it regularly with a 3-point 5' bushhog, heavy duty 7' grader blade, 3-point slip scoop, a 7 foot pull-type disc, and a utility carry-all for moving heavy stuff. Don't know how well it would compare in the world of modern farming equipment, but it's still quite a little workhorse. Hope this was a little helpful.

Best of luck
