Aaron for starters, get the H into a shed or at least cover it with a 20 x 20 foot tarp. It is probably restorable, especially since it had a rebuild in the mid 70s. More than likely it is stuck though depending on how well the exhaust was covered.

If you are wanting to find out if it is stuck before you start investing funds, pull it SLOWLY with the transmission in 5th. and let out the clutch slowly. If the main wheels drag, you know it is stuck. If that is the case, I would pour Marvel Mystery Oil into each cylinder and let her sit for at least 2 weeks.

You will get all sorts of tips for unsticking.

I used YT's classifieds and had no problems getting parts for my 51H. For used parts, Gary Biewer is a very good source and reasonable. 218-937-5627. You can still get a lot of parts from your local IH dealer or call IH Ken Updike 608-455-2411.

You will get a lot of tips on this site. Several of us have rebuilt Hs or Super Hs over the last year or two. Let the wallet draining begin!
