Farmall H Disc Brakes

If you have disc brakes on a early 50's H they are Lambert brakes which were a conversion, not IHC dixc brakes. They should fit any H.

Harold H
 
If its the type sold by IH as a attachment or by a aftermarket company, the answer is yes if you get all the parts with them. If its the type IH installed on late H the answer is no, unless you change the differential, bull pinion gears, differintial carrier housings and all outside brake parts including brake, clutch pedal parts. If it has 3 bolts holding brake housings on its the former. if it has 5 bolt IH type.
 
IH disk brakes were installed at 391358-up, or the last 373 H's made. The cover is held on by 5 bolts. All others are held on by 3 bolts, those are the ones that will fit. Unless you have one of those 373.
 
CNKS: My dad had a 51 H, don't think it was part of those 373 tractors. It had disc brakes and the parts would interchange with his Farmall 300.
 
Hugh, The H Lambert and IH brakes have the same expander and the same balls, according to the parts manuals. Thus the disks are likely the same diameter, but the grooves that the disks slide on that fit the shafts are different. All I know -- I have not seen Lambert brakes. It appears that IH bought out Lambert and used some of their parts, or perhaps Lambert supplied the parts and let IH use their own name. But I imagine you and/or your dad used changed the disks, as the expanders usually were not changed? So, I have no explanation, except that there were similarities in the two brake types.
 
CNKS: After my dad bought the 300, we always kept 3 set of discs, one set in each tractor and a set we ruffed up with a rasp hanging on the shop wall. We used to interchange those quite regularly.
