Building A Super HTA

Welding man · Jul 22, 2018

First off, let me say I know very little about Farmalls. I have Fords and Cockshutts. I have friend that has a few Farmalls and for some reason he wants to build a Super HTA. He has some junkers for parts but we really don't know which tractors will work out the best or the easiest. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Farmall H or Super H sheet metal on a 300 or 350 Farmall.
I guess it depends on how far you want to go with it.

You could just put the 300 or 350 rear end with TA and Live PTO behind an H engine. It really just depends on which parts are available to you.

The easiest route is probably to find a 300 or 350 with trashed sheet metal and swap H sheet metal onto it, with all the attaching bracketry and hardware.

I had a coe worker he made made one out of a 350 it?s sharp looking

If you really want to make it as accurate as you can, to what it should have been if it were made, you would want to make it out of a combination of 1954 Farmall 300 parts and parts and Farmall Super H parts, all with Z casting code.

Pretty much a 1954 Farmall 300 with Super H hood, grill, steering components etc.

The ones I've seen sell at Mecum's Gone Farming auctions sell for less than what you can build one for.

They seem like a waste of two Farmall tractors to me. Nobody will Ever get my Stage II Super H away from me, but I'll admit that the TA, factory PS, and LPTO, Fast Hitch, and up to three hyd remotes makes the 300/350 as modern as any 60+ year old tractor has a right to be.

Thanks for the quick responses. He actually has a 350 Diesel with a bad engine and is looking at a Super H with a new engine. Looks like he might be well on his way. Thanks again.

If he wants a really interesting tractor, build a super HTAD Hi crop. Saw one on a drive last summer at Rockville IN. Main frame started as a 350 diesel witch came with the GD 193 Continental engine, and built up from there..

Well not really, the donor tractor the 300 or 350 chances are, isn't a running working tractor, i hope mot anyway!

More to it than you think. 300 frame rails are longer, fan is bigger, shroud is deeper. Rear cover is different, shifter forks are bigger. shifter slot in shift rails in different spot. All the bolt holes line up but
different parts.

Why does any of that matter? You'd be using everything from the bell housing back, from the platform down, from the 300/350, and everything from the bell housing forward from the Super H. You wouldn't be trying to make H sheet metal fit on the 300/350 front end. You wouldn't be trying to exchange internal transmission parts.

It's hardly a waste of two tractors when at least one is a derelict.

The biggest challenges are mounting the Super H steering post and hydraulic reservoir (if you want "factory" live hydraulics).

Some people are against custom builds. That and some guy tried selling one as an "original" so now anybody doing such a project is doing it for bad intentions in the
minds of many. I don't really like two perfectly good tractors used up for such a project but neither a Super H nor 300/350 are so rare that it becomes a crime. Far
better in my mind to do a Super H-TA than put a V8 into a M but even then nobody is really being hurt by that plus it makes available any good parts that are on the M
engine that is being cast aside.
