I am process of restoreing a very early 39 M and am guessing the early 40 H's had alot of the same differences I have found from later models. I will start at the front and work my way back as to some of the things I have found that set an early model out from the rest. The front boster is different if you look from the front and look right above the wheels it is sooth and doesnt have a cowcatcher looking notch. the grill uses dzues fitting to attaxh to radiator next the frame rails on the early ones had the serial number stamped right below were you add oil. Oil pan has petcocks that look like 1/4 round rod that are bent. Hood has no braces on the inside. The mag has a plunger on it that is acuated via a cable that goes up to the bracket on the light bar next to the crank handle for the shutters. The front gas tank mount is made up of steel peices bent and welded togather and no a cast iron piece like the later ones. Air cleaner mounts different to that bracket. Small gas tank the bottem cover is smooth and no inverted like later ones. Main gas tank the sediment bowl is up close to the front edge instaid of centered. the belt pulley unit the handle to engage faced out tward the carb side of the tractor. the steering post has a different bolt pattern to the platform and is a triangle seel piece and not cast. light bar the dimond shaped piece is smooth and they use a cast piece to keep it square. Lights have square tremanals instaid of round and also the lens are textured to the outside. has the notched platform and also has the gear shift patten stenseled into it. the seat is made of channel iron and uses a singel bolt to mount to the platform. The bracket for the rear light is small h shaped. The Brake drums mounted to a keyed shaft insaid of a splined shaft. The lower shaft in the transmision was differt in the way it drove the PTO and should have the flat pto. The ancor for the draw bar is alot lighter as well as the draw bar being 3/4 thick. wedges for the wheel castings are 2 piece istaind of 1 piece and also the real early ones had 36' rear wheels. I am sure there is more but this is what I have found so far and seem to be finding more all the time. If you need more details on any of this let me know and I'll try explaing more. Paul
