Engine kit will cost around $600 plus figure anywhere from $100 to $500 for machine work. Previous care makes a big difference in whether or not you will need to have the head rebuilt, crank cut, etc. A good rule of thumb is to take your estimate and double it. Trust me, little bits and pieces add up. I have $1200 in my 42 H so far, plus the machine bill will be around $400. BUT I will have a new tractor when I am done.

As for my personal advice to you, BUY THAT TRACTOR!! Anything up to $750 would be fine for a '39 H - the seats are still around, and you could fabricate a new one to look like the original.

Here are a couple pics of the H's I bought, both 42 models. Both stuck (ruined) engines and both were 99% complete. The one with the mower was $400 and the other was $150. Between the two I have had to buy only electrical parts to replace and the temp and oil pressure gauges. The engines were trashed on these simply because the exhaust was not covered on either one.

Good luck! Please feel free to email if you have any questions.
