Id say it weighs around 4250 fully dressed with the weights, 4350 on the high side. Depending on what weight you pull at,, 4000lbs is ideal for a stock H and get a good balance from the frame. I usually run 120lbs on the front stock IH wheel weights on the front wheels in the stock location, the tractor is about 3750 and it pulls like a dream. Only options it has on it is the PTO, everything else is removed, and my tractor is a Super H. I pull off the stock hitch, not the drawbar,,, bolt the clevis right to the axle mounted D shaped Hitch,, we only run 18 inches high, and 28 inches from the center of the rear axle,, if you measure your H hitch,, thats the exact same distance. Keep it in low gear, and keep the front kinda heavy,, Run a compression test on your H, 100-110 psi is pretty much stock, not much to do,, carbs are usualy good enough to feed it enough fuel, you dont need racing gas,, maybe 90 at the most,, if it is 150psi and up,,, you may have a bit of tuning to do and pick you up a bit more power,, run a compression test, start from there, and let us know what the results are, Chad
