7- foot tiller on a farmall H-now that was neat!!

Since the H does not have live pto, any other type of added hi/low will likely also speed up or slow down your pto, which would not help you.

Seems like too much tiller to me for the tractor.

Loose soil and sand tills much easier than wet soil or hard sod.

The M&W 9 speed is an overdrive, making each gear (one through four) faster along with speeding up the PTO as well.

I know of an H with a GM V-6 in it that has a 4-speed transmission in the torque tube in 2nd gear to slow the tractor down, but that option would also slow down the PTO - making the point moot.

Time for a 300 with a TA!

Operator error resulting in TA damage is from the following:
1. Shifting it too slow/slipping the TA clutch. (no brainer - this destroys the clutch)
2. Freewheeling while going forward and in gear with TA in low range. (This wears out the ramp/roller system)
3. Rolling backwards while in a forward gear and vice versa. (this wears out the ramp/roller system)

The throwout bearing is just that, a bearing. The bearings in every other part of the tractor run all the time, so the TA throwout bearing can run as well. I personally have never had a clutch problem resulting from a bad throwout bearing (I have had worn fingers from no free pedal though - totally avoidable with proper adjustment).
