I have an H and really love it. For me it is the perfect all-around tractor since I can't afford to have a bunch. I use it in the winter to plow snow, in the spring to haul firewood, in the summer to pull a 9' haybine and a baler and all year round to skid logs for our sawmill. The other tractor is a Massey 35 which basically only gets used for 3 point hitch implements and loader work since it has interchangeable bucket and forks. The H only has a plow blade on the loader, the bucket was long gone when I got it. The H with the narrow front is very maneuverable, it will turn around so tight that one rear wheel basically stays in place. I had an Allis C that I got before the H to skid logs in a pine plantation where I was working but even though it was smaller it was less maneuverable because the front wheels did not turn nearly as far to the side. I like being up high on the H seat but some find it unpleasant, I guess it isn't too much higher than the seat on the C. The gear ratios on a stock H are a little bit limited, you basically have 4 speeds in the 3-5.5 MPH range and then 15 or so for road gear. I put Super H gears and shafts in my H this summer and that is a big help since 2 3 and 4 are all raised, or there are the aftermarket 9 speed transmission kits that pop up used from time to time, however they are expensive. I have parted out 5 H and Super H tractors that had stuck engines and other damage, so I have gotten to be fairly familiar with all of the parts and how they go together which helps when it is time to fix something on mine, even with the help of the many knowledgeable people on this forum.

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.
