Looking at the pictures, I'd say your H is probably a late '41, '42 or '43. I have 2 '44's, one of which my dad got new in the spring of '45. He wasn't in the service and obtained a war time tractor that he'd applied for when I was born in 1943. (They were called war time tractors because they have cast steel knobs on the shift levers. Tractors before & after WW II used rubber shifting knobs.) One of the reasons he was allowed to buy it it was because he & my grandpa were farming together but did not have a tractor. They were using horses to farm a half section. Reason I think it might be in the years I indicated is because of the PTO. Later models used a different PTO assembly that had a larger diameter shaft. I believe the change came sometime in 1943. Your tractor originally had steel wheels, probably due to rubber shortages caused by WW II. When rubber tires became available after the war most steel rims (lug rims) were cut off & either 36 or 38 inch rims for rubber were welded to to the wheel centers. It has an original seat & the starter button is behind the steering post. It also has a distillate manifold that looks to be in surprisingly good condition. I'll bet it either has the small starting tank or at least a hole in the hood for the starting tank. I didn't see either in the pictures, but I may not have looked at them close enough. Tractors of that era usually had motor and chassis serial #'s that matched. Have fun with your H. They are great tractors. When I was in HS in the late 1950's & early 1960's Dad farmed 800 acres with four H's. His help was me & a cousin my age that lived with us. I spent many hours on the seat of an H watching a 2-16 Case plow do its job behind the H in both the spring and fall. They are great tractors & did a lot of field work in their day. You could put in a long day on a tank of fuel.
