Farmall H fired right up today

David G · Apr 17, 2016

My H has original ignition and carburetor, I turned the fuel on, gave it a couple of minutes, quick burst of choke and it fired right up, no smoke.

I love watching what happens with the fuel injection project on an old tractor but these engines just run remarkably well for 70 year old technology. I've got an M I do my feed grinding with every week or so. It always fires right up and is ready to go. Always amazes me even after all of these years.

I have 2 H's and an M. They all three start easy.

My MH44 is my experimental, the H is a working tractor, it tedder's hay, moves wagons and runs the 10' disk real nice for working up smaller areas.

I went to start my Ford 971 today, first time since December. The battery was dead and would not take a charge. It can't be any more than fifteen years old.

That is a pretty new 971 (lol), only 15 years old.

I went to fire up my yard art (cause it only gets used once or twice a year for a few hours) M and it failed to start. Thinking I should send that POS to the crusher and get a real tractor that has IPTO and live hydraulics!

This was a tractor my dad got that was stuck, he re-ringed it, and it always smoked some. I have been keeping the oil clean with 15W-40 and working it good, so not as much smoke now. It runs so darn good I do not plan to touch the engine.
