Hi, I am not a farmer, but I needed a tractor to move boats around my yard and to haul them. I found this Farmall H, 1946 that is looking good to me. Except it was pointed out to me that there is a crack in the cast block near the shift,it is about 4 inches long. The guy I am buying it from, thinks it is from the tractor being hung up on something. My question is, can these tractors, deal with a little thing like that and keep running?
thanks,

Explain where the crack is in a little more detail, please. If its in the transmission/rear end housing & doesn't leak grease, its probaly not too much of a worry. We used one for years w/a crack in the transmission housing. We drilled & tapped so we could put on a sheet metal patch & gasket to cover it-just to keep the dirt & water out. (Bought it from a dealer for cheep cracked-don't know how the previous owner cracked it.) If its in the "torque tube" (ie the casting that connects the engine to the rear housing) you could have a problem, as H's have been known to break in half there. (Not uncommon w/loaders on 'em-I've even seen an M busted there.) Thats the bad news-the good news is the torque tube is probably available @ tractor salvage yards, but will be PIA to install-ya gotta split it. Ifna its in the block, you got other problems to stay away from. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Duct tape should fix that, just kidding- I would drive the tractor around and see if it leaks. And try to see if there is evidence of a loader being put on. Remember, There are always other tractors.
