what type of tractor h -super h

With just the number to work from it could be either. Have a look at the brakes. Band brankes would make it in H. Discs wooudl make it a Super. Not definitive (some Hs were later fitted with discs), there are other distinctions but it's a quick and easy starting point.
 
If the starter has 3 bolts mounting it to the bell housing, its a SH. Think it would be a SH serial # because I don't think a regular H tractor used a J suffix.
 
For a H style tractor that serial # would be for a Stage 2 SH.
Also a SH with that serial # would have the long part of the serial # plate mounted front to rear of tractor. H tractors and SH below serial # 19234 mounted the long part of ID plate top to bottom. Also SH 19234 and higher serial numbers mounted the starter on same side from center of tractor as the ID plate. H and SH below serial 19234 mounted the starter to the other side. Some late H came with disc brakes and some late SH tractors were sold without hydraulics, so though not common those feathers may sometimes not work in telling a H and SH apart.
 
If you can't read the prefix on the serial number plate, you could have either a 1940 H or a 1954 Super H. The easiest way to tell is the brakes. If it has disk brakes it is a Super H and if it has band brakes it is a H (unless someone converted it to Lambert brakes). Also, I don't think the J suffix was used as early as 1940 so it is most likely a 1954 Super H.

Harold H
 
The J makes it a Super H. Rockford clutches were not used on H's with serials that low.
 
A Super H with that SN would have the battery under the seat, hydraulic unit under the gas tank, engine driven hydraulic pump, disk brakes and two rather large holes in the grill. Here is 22376 AJ, an early 1954 SH
