I have an (a) that I am restroing and have been working on for about a year and a half, Dont feel bad I have about 3,000.00 invested in the little (a) It's not done yet, and go figure I went out and bought an (h). The (a) was a parts tractor if that when I bought it. So I did learn a lesson from that. In my opinion its impossibal to do a nice restoration on these old tractors and sell it for a profit, If your lucky you might break even "not including your labor" or lose some in order to sell it. It sounds like you have put a lot of time into your H , If it were me I would continue on with it. I hope in time the market will catch up with the money we have invested. But also on the other hand were could you go and buy a new tractor that is as big as your "h" new at for 3,000.00. Somthing that size today would probably cost you 25 or 30 thousand dollars, And when you get it done you will have a "new" looking and running tractor.
