A note on date: The H came out in 1939. The serial number is the key to the date of production. I have them in a file somewhere, and will look if you post the number here. I am sure others have this info, too, and will be happy to post the answer. There were several changes made to these tractors, which may all look alike until you start looking at details. The very early models had a different seat bracket AND a slot in the top of the platform to allow the seat bracket to move up and down. Sometime in the mid-forties (I think), the starter switch was moved up to the left side of the steering post. Late-model H's had a PTO extension to allow for a "standard" PTO diameter (I believe this also included a standard distance from the PTO to the hitch point, but can't swear to this). Some of the fellows who work with these tractors all the time can probably provide other details that I don't know much about, such as changes to the electrical system and the replacement of the mag with a battery-operated ignition, which I believe became either available or standard on the late H production. Anyone who knows the details, please feel free to correct what I am saying, or provide more precise details as to dates and serial numbers.

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