I bought a Farmall H back in March, literally drug it out of a fence row. I tuned it up, and have been using it to put around the place and move trailers, etc, but nothing that would put any kind of consistent load on it.
Grass on the back of the place got away from me due to rain and a bout of the flu, so hooked up the 6' mower, and cranked the tail wheels way down. 4" or so cut height, and back of mower 3" below the front, so it cuts all the way back. 1' or so of grass.
THAT put a load on the little H. Had to take 1/3 to 1/2 cuts, and even that pulled it down a bit. 3 hours or so of working it like that, and I have a marked increase in compression when cranking it. (no electronics on tractor at all aside from magneto)
Moral of the story: Work the snot out of them. It is what they were built to do.
