I agree, it had been 25 years since I had spent much time on a Farmall H or Farmall 300. I had just purchased and started working on my '41 H and posted a question. I had rebuilt the engine, distributor, and carb and was surprised that I had to ride the clutch so much and surprised how much the engine protested starting out in 5th. I vaguely remembered starting out in 4th gear with a fully loaded 115 bail hay wagon and shifting to 5th. Many said you cannot pull a full hay wagon with an H, but somehow we did all summer; hauled them 3 miles back and forth on pavement. To make a short story long, after valve adjustment, timing adjustments, carb adjustments, a replacement govenor and a new coil I can now take off in 5th gear easy. The engine doesn't sputter or protest at all. I might ease out the clutch a little more slowly than I would my Silverado, but not much. The engine digs in, runs smoothly and the muffler has a great low growl tone, but no missing.
