I think your dad's H had Lambert disk brakes, which were an option, and could be retro-fitted on tractors clear back to SN 501. The Super H type disk brakes supposedly appeared on the straight H at SN 391358, in 1953, the last H being 391730. The variable tread front wheels (lugs riveted to the rim) are listed in the parts book from 501 up, may have been a retrofit in the early years. My dad had a new 1947 H with these wheels. The tractor also had the "Monroe" seat, with the spring, and shock behind the seat. Many H's came with the optional IH spring seat with the shock under the seat. I doubt if your dads tractor had the C164 new in 1951, but if it was ever overhauled it could have been resleeved to 164 specs. Differences in "power" between the H/SH/300 are misleading, particularly in 3rd and 4th gears. We did most of our operations in 3rd, except for plowing. Third gear in a Super H is about the same as 4th in the H. I have made no direct comparisons, as we never had a Super H, but a Super H will probably pull no more than an H in third gear, it just pulls it faster. As to 4th, our H couldn't pull heavy tillage equipment in 4th anyway, doubt if the Super H/300 could either due to the higher speed. If your H had firecrater or thinner sleeves, the power would be quite close to the Super H/300, in fact it might pull more in 3rd because of the slower speed. Just my guess. I now have an H and Super H, and no land to try them out on.

Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
