Jonathan,

I'm just about ready to fire my rebuilt/restored H up for the first time.

If by "overhaul" you mean just pistons, rings, rod bearings and head work, you don't need to split the tractor. However, if you want to do the main bearings and seals, then you must split. I argue that a full overhaul will take you an extra week, but will save you time in the long run (fewer oil leaks, ability to run modern detergent oils, etc.)

I have a number of photos that I can send over to show you how I split my H with just a crane and two pieces of 2" 3/8" angle iron. Cheap, simple and safe. The engine rebuild can be done by a novice given the right tools, about 3 weeks of time, and $700.

Good luck. Your rebuild will give that old girl another 60 years of service!
