Your right, I have had a sheltered existance. Never had a need for anything bigger or better. Learned one lesson from my Scottish/Quaker ancesters and thats to make do or do without. Although my father and grandfather might have taken that to a little too far. I grew up cranking the H to start it. I was always told that one time the tractor broke in half and afterwards the starter motor never worked. A few years ago I did a valve job on this tractor and after my son-in-law kept questioning about why I never tried to fix the starter, I grabbed jumper cables and a battery to show him that the starter wouldn't work. Imagine my surprise when the tractor started!! I then turned to my father (91 years old) and told him I now knew the real story. He and his father bought the tractor brand new in 1942. About six years or so later the battery died and they discovered that they could crank it by hand, so why buy a battery?! I learned to start that tractor with a hand crank when I was 8 or 9 years old because they were too cheap to buy a battery. Of course my father denies the whole story! LOL
