Can someone please describe the year to year changes of an h seat? Also what does the suffix x mean? I know x1 is gas and x3 is kerosene. It has a hole in the hood for a starting tank and it has radiator shutters so I think it's a distillate. Finally what would a completely original '44 h distillate be worth? The only non original part I noticed were the front tires. The rear are original and still have pretty good tread. It's dusty but appears to have fairly good original paint. For the most part the decals are readable. It has a sidehill swinging drawbar, belt pulley gearbox w/o the belt pulley (it might be sitting around there though), magneto, starter, cast iron shifter knob, and lights. All the sheet metal appears pretty good as are the rims. I almost forgot, it's not currently running but it might just need fuel in the tank and water in the rad. The engine turns over.
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron, The cast shifter knob would date your tractor as either a 1943 or maybe an early 1944. The X was kerosene, X 1 was gasolene. The distilate was similar to the kerosene model, but had no serial number suffix. In later years, most of the distilate and kerosene models were ran on gasolene as gasolene became more available after the war and equally as cheap to run with a couple of added horse power. The standard seat frame for the 44 was the round tube front spring with the tool box attached to the tube. This was standard until the later models of around 1951 and 1952. The softer ride monroe seats were available after the war, and many H"s and M"s were ordered with the monroe seat as an option. The first ones had the long shock absorber mounted behind the seat, while the later ones had the shorter shock absorber ahead of the seat. Magnetos were also standard until after the war, but the later models could be ordered with either a magneto or distributor. The earlier distributors which appeared in the early 40"s were vertical whereas later on they were horizontal. I"m not sure where the break off point was for these features, but the 44"s would have in most cases a magneto, and round tube seat frame. If you plan to restore your tractor to its original state, there are auxillary gas tanks floating around, and shutter linkage if yours is missing. What will be the hardest thing to find is the original distilate or kerosene manifold and manifold shield. they are around, but very scarce, not to mention expensive if you do find one.

If it runs, an H will bring about $800-$1500. If it is a complete distillate version, someone who wants it "may" be willing to pay more for it, but it should still be in the 8-15 range. As to X you answered your own question as to the type of engine. The reason for the X itself -- it's just a letter, they had to use something. The original seat was used until early 1940--SN 15697 and below. At that time the seat and transmission cover were changed and remained that way until the end of production according to the parts book, but I would guess the it was gradually phased out. At some point in time, the deluxe seat with the big spring and shock was offered as an option, but the standard seat was not discontinued at that time. The deluxe seat is more common on later tractors, the standard seat was more common on earlier models, but there was no serial number break.
