I think your dad's H had Lambert disk brakes, which were an option, and could be retro-fitted on tractors clear back to SN 501. The Super H type disk brakes supposedly appeared on the straight H at SN 391358, in 1953, the last H being 391730. The variable tread front wheels (lugs riveted to the rim) are listed in the parts book from 501 up, may have been a retrofit in the early years. My dad had a new 1947 H with these wheels. The tractor also had the "Monroe" seat, with the spring, and shock behind the seat. Many H's came with the optional IH spring seat with the shock under the seat. I doubt if your dads tractor had the C164 new in 1951, but if it was ever overhauled it could have been resleeved to 164 specs. Differences in "power" between the H/SH/300 are misleading, particularly in 3rd and 4th gears. We did most of our operations in 3rd, except for plowing. Third gear in a Super H is about the same as 4th in the H. I have made no direct comparisons, as we never had a Super H, but a Super H will probably pull no more than an H in third gear, it just pulls it faster. As to 4th, our H couldn't pull heavy tillage equipment in 4th anyway, doubt if the Super H/300 could either due to the higher speed. If your H had firecrater or thinner sleeves, the power would be quite close to the Super H/300, in fact it might pull more in 3rd because of the slower speed. Just my guess. I now have an H and Super H, and no land to try them out on.

Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
