I purchased an ole ragged 1951 farmall h last year for cheap.
All I have to say is that I am impressed. I hooked it to the Hesston 1120 moco (9' equivalent of a NH haybine). I looked up the manufacturer's spec's again on the Hesston 1120 and the book says 30 PTO hp minimum requirement of which the ole h is a bit shy (I am reasonably sure that my h has not been rebuilt with Super pistons to up the hp) . Anyway, It handled my last cutting fine. Granted the cutting was not overly tall but what was there was green, lush, and tough. (last 1.5 months have been like spring rains after the summer drought). Ran in 3rd gear and burned very little fuel with the moco.
What is even more impressive is that I used the same tractor to improvise tedd and rake with the old JD 594 hay rake covering 5.25 acres over 5 times total (hard to get things dry this time of year)and it almost seemed like there was more fuel in the tank than when I began. Ran 4th gear wide open throttle at all times when raking or improvised tedding. Pretty impressive for an old low tech gasser.
Do these ole h's just make their fuel as they run? (not a serious question - just kidding).
P.S. The ride from the monroe seat was much appreciated too. The tractor rode very smooth over a rough field.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
