Hey all, I'd always wanted a Farmall H and finally found one within my budget, so I have a few questions if I can beg a moment of your time. First off, it is a 1945 model, but has "XI" stamped after the serial number. Anyone know what this means? I had looked at another one last month, but I don't remember any stamps other than the number itself.
It has a 3-point conversion on it that definitely looks like a production (Not necessarily IH) unit, but the original swinging drawbar assembly is gone. Anyone use something similar? My other tractor is a Ferguson and growing up on a farm, the only thing we used my uncle's old H for was raking hay, so I have plenty of time with a factory 3-point and some implements I can use with this one. Just wondering if there was anything I had to watch out for or be mindful of.
All-in-all, I think it will be a fun project. First off will be changing out all fluids and giving it a looong overdue tuneup. Then the search begins for a good used 12.4x38 for the rear. Guy had 2 different sizes on it and the 12.4 on there is by far the one in the best shape.
Thanks in advance for any help and putting up with my neophyte questions in the future,

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
