The key is not to lug the tractor. Having spent probably 5000 hours on an H as a teenager before I left the farm (I drove many other tractors in later years, and still piddle with an H), I know what the engine is supposed to sound like. If it does not get to it's rated RPM of 1650 in a few seconds, it is overloaded. Idle RPM is 1815, so there will definitely be an RPM drop under load--but it should be able to maintain that RPM, except for a few times when it is pulled down and rapidly recovers. You really don't need a tach. If as you say, it does not overheat, and it does not appear to be lugging, then you are ok. But the engine has to recover quickly from a "hard spot" or you will have problems later on, I can't say how long it will last. I mentioned valves, because they seem to be the first thing to go. I have been able to pull very few tillage implements in fourth. Conversely if it will not pull in second, and you have any acreage at all to do, you need a bigger tractor. I usually pulled a plow in second, disks and finish implements in third.
