The old IH temperature gauge that was on my Dad's '44 H that he was able to buy in early 1945 was divided into three sections. The 1st 1/3 was a white section that read COLD. The 2nd 1/3 was a green section that read RUN. It had a small black arrow coming from the top edge of the green section that appeared to point to the N. The last 1/3 was red that read HOT. It was a factory dissiotialate tractor. It had the shield over the dissiotialate style manifold, but it didn't have shutters as I remember. The manifold shield hung on the shed wall for many years with most of the original paint still on it. The lever on the manifold was permanently rusted in the C position as long as I can remember. We always ran it on gasoline. We also had a '44 H that Dad bought from a neighbor who bought a new 1950 M. He paid the neighbor more for it than the IH dealer had offered the neighbor had been on a trade. It was a factory gas tractor. It's manifold is a gas manifold, but the serial # tag isn't stamped X1 like later gas only tractors are. It has a starting tank hole the hood but never had a starting tank installed. It doesn't have the 2 inlet setiment bulb below the main tank. (How many out there know what I'm taking about when a say a 2 inlet setiment bulb?) No shutters or opening/closing mechanism was installed on the dashboard. The carburetors are different, too. I still have both tractors.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
