As others point out your bolster pivot shaft is installed backward.
There SHOULD be a special extended head bolt in the right front hole in the flange (or left hole front? I forget...). The bolt's head runs loosely in a crescent-shaped slot cast in underside of the fixed bolster. This bolt/slot limits front wheel rotation to 90 deg left and right of straight.
Now IF the special steering stop bolt is missing AND your H has a full (360 deg) gear in the steering box, you can reverse the front end simply turning the steering wheel until the 2 hole flange is in front.
However if the steering stop bolt is present you'll need to go inside the steering gear box, remove the gear (it's on a tapered spline on top of the pivot shaft), lower the pivot shaft enough to give clearance to remove the stop bolt, rotate the pivot shaft 180 deg, then reinstall the stop bolt and gear.
And if the steering gear is the sector type (ie. "half moon" shaped) you will also need to rotate the gear 180 deg when reinstalling on the pivot shaft.

Note! If the special steering stop bolt has been replaced with a standard head bolt, for safety I STRONGLY recommend getting the correct stop bolt installed!
