I'll try to add something even though I don't have a Super H nearby and haven't been close to that series in a number of years. I believe that all Super series had battery ignition, which means that the ignition switch, of whatever kind, turns ON the electricity. If I remember right, the original switches just pulled out for ON and were snapped in for OFF. Some people substituted key-switches for the push-pull type, I guess so they could control who started the thing (of course, with the open wires on the back of the switch, it would be about a 30-second job to run a wire with a couple of clips between them, or even just twist the wires together).NOTE: On early models of the letter-series tractors with MAGNETOS, pushing the switch in to OFF shorted out the magneto, while pulling it out to ON left the grounding circuit open. Different function from the way a battery-ignition circuit works. These tractors are simplicity itself. The starting drill is simple, after you have checked radiator, oil level and fuel. 1. Turn on fuel under tank if it is not already on. 2. Climb on. Look down over the beautiful hood and feel like the king of the world for a couple of minutes. I'm prejudiced. I think these tractors have the best lines of anything, ever. They have some minor drawbacks, but looks isn't one of them.3. If the motor is cold, pull the choke rod. It is "down there" on the left. It is easy to identify because the rod goes right to the carburetor choke valve 4. Pull governor lever back part way.5. Operate the starter (find the starter motor and trace back to the platform if the operating rod isn't obvious).6. As soon as the engine starts to run, reduce the choke until you get a reasonably-smooth run. In a short while, push the choke all the way in. 7. In warm weather, you might need no choke, or just a little. Too much for too long will flood the carb. In that case, choke off, throttle open, operate starter until you get firing. I don't mean to be patronizing. You may have already figured all this out. In any case, one tractor operates pretty much like another at any one particular period, and most at the time of the Super H were pretty simple.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
