Don,
As the others have said go ahead and restore that "H" it will be good therapy. You will be able to work through alot of feelings as you are doing it.
I was in the midst of rebuilding the TA, installing power steering and adding a remote hydraulic hook-up on my SMTA when my father passed away. This happened March 20th, 2003 in the middle of a record breaking snow storm in the Rockies, he was 81 years old. He was an integeral part in my tractor projects up until a few days before his death. He would come out to the barn and talk to me and watch as I was doing things and throw out an occasional comment such as "are you sure you want to do that before you do such and such" I sure do miss his chuckles when I would do something stupid or screw something up. But it would make me think about what I had done, what could have happened and has made me think about doing things a little better before hand now. I will admit it took me a long time to get the old SMTA back together without him sitting in the barn and talking with me. Now that I got it back up and running Saturday, I was able to visit his grave Monday and thank him for his 47 years of knowledge, patience and wisdom that he shared with me and it felt a whole lot better. And this tractor has a whole lot of meaning in my life today, almost as much as his 400 Farmall that I have since aquired.
Hang in there Don, God has a plan for everything that happens and sometimes it is not for us to know why or question. Someday you might get lucky and figure it out and you will say ahah, so that is why this happened.

You're in my thoughts and prayers!
Ernie Bob
