Hello Gents!
I had posted a few weeks back about the two new H's that I was going to buy, and how I was worried that now I couldnt stop with the Farmalls.
Well, they showed up on the trailer yesterday, and Im pretty thrilled I have to say.
One of them is a 1945, mag ignition, war shift knob, with radiator shutters. The other is a 1952 with the radiator shutters, combo tail light, and a distributor ignition that Im pretty sure still has the original coil and spark plug wires. Both have rear weights, and one came with the front weights. Both still have the cloth wrapped wiring harnesses for everything. They seem like two real nice original beauties! Still 6 volt, and one is positive ground.
The mag ignition one fires right up and purrs like a kitten. The other one starts OK, but is idling very rough, some white smoke. I have to tinker a little bit to figure out why, but I think I can get it cleared up.
Ill post some pics once I can get back to a high speed internet connection! Dialup is just too slow....
If anyone wants some pictures of anything for a restoration, Im pretty sure these are original in just about every respect, Ill be happy to snap some today.
I wonder if the folks buying these new felt the same way watching them show up! Im the third owner of both of these, and this is the first time they have been off their farm.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
