Hi All, Ive moved around the country a few times and have been living in a subdivision for the last 5 years. I got into building a machine shop and the '49 H I was going to restore has been in storage the whole time with minimal progress.

It's time to own up to the fact that I probably won't get to use this one and cut my storage expenses.

The tractor is in a good state of disassembly, but I have bagged, tagged and labeled the parts.

Starter motor has been rebuilt. Radiator has a hole in the bottom but I've built a new brass stud-socket for it...just need a shop to repair it. Front end has the usual dings but is not mangled.

The tractor came from AZ and was setup originally for cotton. Single tire front, one axle shaft is the optional super extra long version. The other side has been torched off short (not by me). Tires are basically shot.

I'd like it to go to a good home where someone can enjoy it and use it someday rather than someone looking to part it out for profit. Hopefully I have posted in the right place.

I'm on the NW side of Atlanta, GA, you will have to pick it up with your trailer. I can assist with ramps, come-alongs, etc to get it loaded. Bring binders & chains or I won't let it go on your trailer...seen too many accidents with poor tie-down equipment.

Please email me if interested rather than posting a reply.

Thanks!
-Matt

Just as a followup the tractor is gone to a good home....I took emails in the order they were received.

Thanks to all who replied for their interest.

(I still have a Cub and Super MTA so I'm not totally finished 8-)

Shep, The key is to make two or three trips over a period of time and NEVER bring home the entire tractor. When you pull in the first time and your wife asks, "What's that?" You just say you were given some parts. Done strategically, you can bring home an entire H in three trips. Good Luck!!

I think that is really nice of you. We once had a guy practically give us a tank wagon because he wanted to see it go to someone that would restore it, and not try to profit from it. It looks beautiful now and sits in a local museum for all to appreciate.
