I have used a 1944 H with a 9" New Holland 479 Haybine and it ran it just fine power wise. The three things that are less than ideal are the non-live PTO, the slowness of the hydraulic lift if you are running the lift cylinder off the Lift-All hydraulics, and the tongue weight of the Haybine wanting to bend down the drawbar where the braces attach to it. The last two won"t be as much of a problem with a 7" machine, although you may want to put some extra bracing or support chains on the drawbar. The non-live PTO is a problem if your cutterbar plugs, since when you push in the clutch to stop the tractor motion, your Haybine will stop when it is full of hay. You can get around this by pushing your shift lever towards neutral, then push in your clutch until you can just push the lever into neutral, then quickly release the PTO. This will get the forward motion stopped and allow the hay in the machine to clean out, then you can shut the PTO and the tractor off and clean off your cutter bar. My grandfather taught me that technique because he used to do it with the H when running an Allis Chalmers All-Crop 60 combine when he could hear the threshing cylinder start to plug. The problem with the hydraulics with the Lift-All system is that that system only generates 700-800 PSI, so the lift cycle is very slow, but you can live with it. When I was a teen, I wanted to see if our smaller tractors could run the machines we ran with larger tractors. This was just one combo I tried successfully.
