Just a little added note to all the above info.... "Back then" we had a '50 H with the 7 mph 4th gear and that was a very useful gear, but it would have been so nice to have had the lower speed 4th gear too. Many, many regular 4th gear jobs just couldn't be done in 4th with the H with 7 mph speed because there just wasn't enough torque in the engine to pull much if you slowed down to 4 1/2-5 1/2 mph.....When you were planting corn, drilling small grain or cultivating for instance. 3rd gear was still too slow to make up for the missing 5 1/8 mph 4th gear. But for sure the high speed 4th was great for pulling heavy loads on the road when 5th was just too fast or the tractor didn't have enough power to pull the load or "just chugging" around the lanes and fields. The "perfect H" was the Super H with it's better speeds in every gear and the extra 5-6 horsepower, Then the 300 was even better with it's live hydraulics and continous running PTO.
