Well I don't know exactly how many Distillate model tractors they made but in all there were something close to 300,000 H's made. Don't let this get you down that its not real rare. Remember you have a 60 year old machine. That runs. How many everyday people can say that? Have a good day and have fun with your tractor.

My Grandfather had a Farmall H with that set up.
He told me during the war when they had ration
stamps you had so much tractor fuel, and gas
stamps. You start out by starting the tractor
with the Rad.shutters closed,exhast manifold in
gas postion main tank off, little tank on. Once
your temp. is up. Shut off little tank open big
tank,switch exhast manifold to run position,open
sutters to maintain warm temp. He used that
tractor for a threasher and stationary baler.

Not rare at all, I have 2 just like it, 1942 models. I also know of about 10 more dual-fuel models in the area.
Low compression for kerosene and distillate. Not much power when you rebuild them even with step head pistons.

It sounds like an H that the factory set up to run on distillate, aka "tractor fuel." The small tank holds gasoline to start the engine, and then it was switched over to the main tank. Does it have radiator shutters?
Serial number 150338 is a very early 1944 model.
