So I've been doing a lot of research and I can't find any definitive answers so I'm hoping someone can give me some info. I'm looking to slow my H way down and I have seen two possible ways, a creeper/picker gear or adding another transmission in the torque tube, I'd like to change the gears and hoping someone could give me more information about them or where I could get them. Thank you.
 
IH called it a low low first, not real easy to find sometimes. Finding a tractor with them seems easier than finding a setup. Some work to add, consisting of a different transmission counter shaft, reverse idler gear, first and reverse sliding gear and a different second gear to go on countershaft. Gear teeth are made on the counter shaft for first gear, that's something to inspect before purchase if possible. Then 2 different countershafts were used with the low low setup. One to drive a notched shaft PTO and a spline type PTO drive. For any PTO work look for a splined type countershaft. Gear setup will knock off around one MPH in ground speed in first.
 
Welllll, how inventive are you? If you remove the belly pump, there's a whole lot of spare room where that 2' long drive shaft runs, between the clutch and the transmission. Room for all sorts of inventions.
 
What your looking for is something with the slow gears, If it were a M, it would have a X1A or if it was a kerosene M it would be X3A, or it mentions a X6, also , as slow speed gears, for a M, I know where there one of them for sale. But if they used M's for transplanting tomatoes in California, i have watched them do that, tractor barley moves. They talk about cotton harvester options too, and a X19 as a special transmission but this is all for a M. Not sure if the H, uses the same suffix codes.
 
Some of those 'super low/creeper' transmissions were hydralic drive. You would have a hydralic motor on the pto and 'backfeed' it for ground speed. The clutch pedal would be blocked down. then you would need some sort of pump driven directly from the engine.Not practicle for normal farming(or pullingLOL)
