I'm not a puller but I have a question about a recent post that mentions a Farmall H boosted up to 90 horsepower. How can you get this kind of horsepower and not tear up the rest of the tractor when you go to use it? Same question applies to any of the old tractors that has such a horsepower increase.

As long as the tractor is running minimum of weight the driveline torque is traction limited. Can get away with extra power if abrupt clutch/brake actions are avoided. Load a tractor with an extra 1/2 to 2 tons of weight, all bets are off.

Charlie these tractors are running around 300 cubes. H's with 5 1/2 - 5 3/4" strokes is not uncommon at all. One key ingrediant is $$$$$. Lemmons offer engine rebuilds from $3500-$14,000 depending on the extent of the machining. I have heard of guys budgeting $1000 for every 10 extra feet needed beyond what a normal rebuilt tractor can pull. I don't know what they factor into these numbers but I can see that it really isn't that hard to spend money. My wife can prove that theory very easily. :O(

Charlie,
the fact is that they don't use it, they probobly just pull it, and while that is a tremendous strain on the drive trane of the H, it only last for a matter of seconds, and then it's over. there more than likely will be parts breakage, due to the fact that those seconds add up to minutes, and onto hours over the life of the tractor. The transmission, and final drives can be beefed up, but most people don't spend the money up front, and just choose to replace parts as they break.
