My Grandpa passed away earlier this year. He was a great man. He was 95 years old, still at home. He was a WWII vet, oil company worker (in the 50's) and farmer.. He was someone you could always count on to be there and to help.
Well, I'm going to try to fix up his Farmall H. I've been researching H's for a while, but this will still be my first go at something like this. Anyway, we need to haul it 300 miles to get it to my place, but before we do that I want to get it running. Hopefully going to his place a day before we want to haul it will be enough time to get it going.
My dad (his son-in-law) was at his place the other day and drained out the old fuel and put in some fresh gas. He also put a 12V battery on it (I think it is still 6V, but he didn't check and just put a 12V on it). It turned over but didn't fire. I plan on being there this coming weekend with a 6V to put in it. Is there any chance a 12V would have damaged anything?
I plan on putting the new battery and new spark plugs in, clean out the sediment bowl and then try to get it started. Anything else I should do before we try to get it started? I figure I'll deal with an oil change when I get it home. Will I need to polarize the generator?
Dad said the radiator was empty. Do I just use 50/50 antifreeze?
Well, I guess I'll stop with the questions. Below are some pictures from about a year ago.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
