Thinking of buying an H - any tips, pros or cons?

Hi All...

I'm thinking about buying an H, specifically, there are two in my area for sale I've been looking at. What sorts of things should I be keeping in mind that are unique to the "H"? I currently own a 140, so I'm not unfamiliar with Farmall, but don't know much about the "H" first hand.

Some of your experiences and different options would be very helpful to hear about.

Both "H"s in my area I've been looking at seem to have hydrolics - hoses coming from the bottom of the tractor - both have battery systems (6V I think), both have PTO shafts that spin loosely with a twist of the fingers while tractor is off (is this normal?) Any experiences with adding a bucket to the narrow front "H"? Also - there seem to be two tanks on these models - would they be gas and distillate?

Any info anyone has about the "H" would be helpful

thanks
