Help with my first time pulling my super H

I am want to take my super H to a local pull and see how I/it can do. Pretty much stock with a little bit of compression. The track I am going to is usually very dry and the rules are mostly nonexistent besides a 16" hitch height rule. I have access to plenty of wheel weights but I am not sure if there is anything else I should do or be aware of. I have read a bunch on this site but I just would like a pointer or 2 not to look too stupid. I plan to weigh it at the local coop to see what it weighs with my fat butt on the seat. Currently has no weights or fluid in the tires. Not sure what classes to enter and hoping it will make the 4000 weightless.
 
Mine weighted 4270 with me on it and couple gallons of gas and 12.4 mine only pulled 100 to 150 ft at every pull. All stock
just go have fun and see what happens
 

My H weighs a bit over #4000 with me on it. Super will be heavier.
Taking it to the fair and pulling will probably be a good time. I know I'd have fun. I enjoy stock pulls, personally.
To be fairly competitive with other stock tractors you'll have to look into making weight racks that bolt on so you can move weights around. I have a bell housing rack where wheel weights hang off of. I use suitcase type of weights off the back and on other racks. Without the ability to move weights around you usually wont do as well as the guy that can balance the tractor properly.
 
Unless you have striped a bunch of parts, your gonna be at 4500 lb. If you can go to a grain elevator and weigh it, it would be worth while. You'd hate to show up and be 4650 lb.

Take enough weight to pull 2 classes (more if your allowed). More pulls = more practice.

Get your hitch up to max height, and make it as rigid as possible. Turn rpm up to allowable limits. 10 or 20% extra rpm = 10 or 20% more ground speed.

Watch other pullers and pay attention to where they put their weights, and what path they take on the track. It's easy for a new puller to get nervous and not pay attention. The small details separate the winners from the rest of the pack.

Lastly, make new friends, and have fun. If you make friends with a veteran puller who it's willing to give you some pointers, that can make up for years of inexperience, get you in the game quicker, and make you're pulling experience more enjoyable overall.

There's only one winner, but everyone can have fun and enjoy a day of pulling.
 
ive got a farm stock super H too. on cast, hyd, pto, no belt pulley, it was 4390 with me on it.
id keep the drawbar LOW vs being as high as rules allow.
reason being, if your under powered, your more likely to spin out, then raise the drawbar more till shes really workin the engine but not stalling it. mine, dynos 44hp and itll work it well at 4500lb with 18in high hitch. good luck.
a stage 2 super h will be heavier than a stage 1 super H
 
The tractor engine was gone through when I was in high school (20 years ago). We just reringed/rebearinged it and had the his head redone. The local farmall puller told me the head could be cut up too .125 so at the time it was cut .100 and it already had fire crater pistons. It has 90% tread miss matched 12.4 38s that are at least 30 years old. I always wanted to try it but lately I have been using it to clean up my farm and the spark is back. I know it is a learning thing so I will pay attention and watch the others. The only rule I am told is 16" hitch height and I was told it is a long chain.
 
You guys win. 4260 total 1200 on the front. About 3/4" in the fuel tank so I am thinking I will fill it and run the 5000lb class then bring weight for 2 more classes.
 
Well have been working on it a bit. Cleaned it up, and tonight worked on the governor. Even with the screw backed out it only will run 1800ish. I did the pin adjustment and no change. Is my spring weak?

At many pulls they have a 4500 class, so shoot for that one too.
 
Your club and track specifics will dictate how you should destribute weight around the tractor.
Either way I think that hitch should be as high as allowed. Especially if where you pull uses a long chain you'll find out quick that the H is gonna be too front heavy. But the higher the hitch, the harder it gets to balance it out. In a long chain pull you should hold your own up to 5500.
