When my father replaced his 10-20 with an H, we used the old 7" double-disk harrow that had come with the 10-20. In fresh-plowed ground, the H would pull that disk in second gear only. In corn stubble, it would probably pull faster, but sometimes that was hard on the old machines that were meant to be pulled at 3 mph. One thing is very obvious about the original H: it is not a torquey machine. The motor is small and gets its h.p. from speed. Like a little guy peddling a bike uphill: gear down, peddle like the devil, get there. Big guy, strong legs, peddles slowly in a higher gear, gets the same results. The old IHC tractors (F-20, 10-20, etc.) got their h.p. at slow speeds with big displacement. Tons of torque, not all that much h.p. In heavy going, they just dug in like a mad bull. The H would just die down when a big overload occurred. I"ve spent hundreds of hours on the oldies and on two Hs. The H is a wonderful tractor to drive, from the comfort standpoint, but it sure doesn"t have the torque of the older gals.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
