Hello all!
Well, as if I needed another project, I went out and looked at the H and Allis that a friend of mine contacted me about... Got out there, and noticed the H she sent me a picture of was not the H I was there to pick up (although they were parked next to each other). Anyways, I started looking it over. Seems to be on original rear tires ("turkey track 12-38 Firestones)... Serial number 106973 which makes it a 1942 - same year as my JD A (thought that it was pretty neat). Also, the seat was changed to the comfort ride, instead of the single pipe & spring IH seat. Still had a 12 volt alternator, and was set up with a Mag. Also had an M&W Friction Throttle. Noticed the belly pump was pulled out. Intake portion of the manifold has a crack (distillate), and she informed me the starter AND magneto needed work. Finally, to wrap up, it had a set of steel automotive wheels bolted to cutoff steel fronts - with half-moon "V8" hubcaps. Neat vintage, but not original. No wheel weights (but I was hoping for them to put on the M). As it sat, the tin is rusty but very solid, and VERY straight (still has the grille insert). Didn't try to start, but the engine rolls over with compression and all tires have air. It does have mis-matched rear rims but they are both very solid.
The Allis - Friend took this tractor (he is an Allis guy), but it is a WD. This one was running at some point this year. Figured we would give it a shot. Hooked up a battery to the poor old cables, and got it to crank - no firing. After messing with the ignition switch, managed to get the improvised ignition light to turn on. Added a little fuel as there was barely any in there... Turned it over and it ran at about 3/4 throttle for a good 90 seconds, and died. Ran real decent, but could not get it running again. Pulled the intake pipe and there was some ice in the carb. Well, we know it runs. Managed to get it towed out of the spot it was in even with the flat rear tire.
Got them both loaded on the trailer, and got them home (one at a time). Had to change vehicles though, must admit... I think the guys I was with were a little too trusting of the Isuzu. We took back roads, and took our time. No issues, and they are in their new place. Can't wait to tear into the H to see what I am working with. Plan on keeping this one original for a while. As long as I can get it running, that is all I care about for now. Besides, the natural look is becoming more appealing to me. Enjoy the photos, and stay tuned for the videos!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
