Just something of interest maybe, anyway, when you bought a new H one of the "extra pieces of equipment" you got with it was a triangular plate with two 3/4 inch holes in the wider end and one 3/4 inch hole in the narrower end. This plate's purpose was to bolt to the U shaped drawbar in the center to provide a rigid drawbar for any PTO driven pull type implement,,i.e. combine, corn picker etc., Curiously, but probably on purpose, this plate could also be bolted to the lower bolster where those two tapped holes are in that little extension boss thing...and this would give you a front drawbar. The earlier model H's and M's had the shorter 1 1/8th PTO shafts with the "dog clutch" shifter within the rearend housing so the subject plate was the short version. When the newer H's and M's came along with the 1 3/8 PTO shafts the clutching mechanism was in an extension housing resulting in the PTO being further back so the subject plate was about 5 inches longer and made of heavier plate IIRC. When it was used on the front as a drawbar you had to be careful steering because this extra length made it real easy for the push or pull of the hitched implement to "rip" the steering wheel out of your grasp and swivvel the front wheels to the turn limit stop if you were pushing or dead in the line of draft if you were pulling...and "queer up" your fingers in the process. "Just stuff this old Farmall owner/driver remembers".

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
