Dave: looking back at what I remember about the H, I think if one checks those bolts with a wrench every 6 months, and takes care to drive slowly with heavy loads on rough ground, he will not encounter much difficulty. Oh course the other unknown is what someone else might have done in the past.
I remember once breaking a front cast wheel because the rim was loose. Dad sent me off to a welding shop, he warned me, "the shop owner is going to give you a lecture for running tractor with wheels loose." Sure enough, dad was right, to start with the old guy was so drunk he couldn't get off a 5 gal. pail in his shop. He gave me a lecture, the likes of which I've never experienced since or before. He told me if the castings were all tight and had always been tight on a Farmall H, there was no man alive, tough enough to stay on the H long enough to break castings.
He told me to come back in 24 hours and the wheel would be fixed. Well, it was and he was still drunk, still on the same 5 gal. pail. I don't know if he sobered up for the welding. I can tell you 40 years later the wheel was still on the tractor. It had been broke in to the bearing.
