Soon I will be picking up this 1940 Farmall H. It belongs to the uncle of a friend of mine...I plan to use it around my property, primarily to aid in my side business of cutting, processing, and selling firewood. It last ran 4 years ago, was parked, and hasn't been used since. The transmission is not locked up, and when I put a fresh battery on it, it had a strong crank. It has been converted to a 12v system.
Obviously I know that right away I will be changing all the fluids and rebuilding the carb. However I thought I would ask for any pointers on things to check/watch for as I get it into running shape. At this point I am not looking to do a full restoration, although that may come with time. The tractor has 2 rear hydraulic lines in addition to the lines that run to the lift cylinders, so I am also curious about its capacity to run additional cylinders if I were to convert the loader to full hydraulic. Thanks
