Ok, i bought that H i have talked about for the last week the other night, rewired it and got it all runnin good just in time to drive it to the bar, get offered 500 more than i had into it and then walk home from the bar (i also just realized how out of shape i am) so i went to buy the m i was after, guess what..... ..... GONE! so i ended up buying his h. Now i have no 3pt hitch, no belt pulley (or drive unit) that i realy love, the rims are shot but tires are fair and while driving home somehow 5th gear screwed up and wants to pop out everynow and then. The only pros of the deal are i have 3 sets of rear wheel weights, it has a live pto (betwene the distributor and housing) that is going to be for sale soon to pay for everything i need, the seat is a better style for me with the big spring under it and is still 6volt origional. told its a 1940 but i think its newer, sn fbh30635? its a higher # that my 47. this was used by the local dealer since new to load trailers then sat around for awhile. it runs good but i think i got my hands full on this one..... .

anyone got a belt drive and pulley they wana sell??? how about some rear rims..... .... (i realy wana put some wider ones on it if possible)

i will sell the weights and live pto if someone is interested or trade???

thanks

Dakota

20 years ago a guy had about 40 nice acres. He was at the shop moaning and groaning about the taxes on it. He'd inherited this land. Most of the guys there were just laughing away. Another asked why he kept the land if he didn't need or want it. Guy said nobody would buy it. Guy asked how much he'd take. Guy threw out a low price with no thought in it whatever. Guy pulled out a checkbook and said he'd write a check right there. Every body went silent. Guy had to sell or look stupid. He sold and never ever got over it. Guy put in a trailer park. To this day it's a sore subject nobody talks about it. Dumbest move the guy ever made. Too proud to back down after shootin off at the mouth, he'd gotten suckered.

Farmall M rims fit on an H wheel. Then it is easy to use larger 38" tires. The Live hydro is best left on the tractor, especially if it is plumbed into a usable system. JimN

A pto is out the back of the tractor so if yours has a live pump between the distributor and the housing it is for the hydraulics, and you sure don't want to get rid of that. That feature is very nice to have. Harley

Remembering "Sell" is a four letter word.

Good lesson always set a price hi enough so you wont be sorry about the sale. On the tractor ride this summer at a 10min break a fellow came out of the crowd and bought my B on the spot as i shot a price i thought was on the hi side and he took it.

My Dad had a saying, "Don't put a price on anything you don't want to sell."
