: : I recently purchased an H with no prior backround, I am only really familiar with Ford 8 and 9 Ns. I am playing with the ides of getting into pulling with it. any info on if this machine is suited for the job, and how to get started would be appreciated.
: I think you'll really like having a tractor. The H's have been pumped up by knocking out the dry sleeves, boring the block to 4.00 and using 400 ford pistons. The crank is either stroked or turned down to a slant six dodge rod if I remember correctly. The compression height is tricky, it must be keep to a minimum since the cylinder wall is nearly non-existent. The piston must be kept away from the head though. i saw a h pull at a local pull he had tire speed of 10mph or so and was in the 3500lbs class. i would say they would be real hard to beat at that speed. and yes he did when that class
