1944 Farmall H

lane valley · May 12, 2013

Ive got a 1944 H and it has a cast iron shift knob and a weird seat that has a bent piece of pipe for the frame. Ive heard this is called a war model. What else did they do to this era of tractor to make it a war model. Thanks for all the help.

Steel wheels. for the war, rubber was precious so on the rears they give the tractor steel wheels all i can think of

The pipe seat is not specifically a wartime feature, it was the stock H seat base till about 1947 or so when they began putting Monroe seats on all of them from the factory.

I have a 44 H, it has a cast shift knob, and a painted steel emblem on the grill. Mine also came equipped with rubber tires, lights, generator, starter, and belly pump.

There were no hard and fast rules to what "war time" tractors came with, just features that you sometimes come across.
